Buzz is phenomenal. It went from mild interest for me to must-see status now.

man, I can't understand how any cinefile only had mild interest in this...just based on Cuaron alone, I was jacked to see this movie. the trailer only made me want to see it more and now, after early reviews I'm pretty much salivating.

I had interest in it. So what if it was mild--it looked boring in the original teaser, but I know from watching Moon that trailers could be deceiving.

I was one of those people too. I may be in the minority, but I didn't enjoy Children of Men all that much. And I hate Sandra Bullock movies with the white hot passion of a thousand suns.

That being said, when I saw the trailer in theaters (in 3-D), I knew I had to see this movie. That trailer alone took me back to when I was 6 years old, watching the Challenger tragedy unfold on live TV. Same gut-punch feeling. And it was just a snipet of the movie!

What is the big deal about Cuaron again?

 

[crisper57]

They say Hollywood is nothing but remakes, reboots, superheroes, and adapted materials (mostly teen lit). Nothing original comes out of there anymore.

Well here is something original at least.

Y Tu Mama Tambien, Prisoner of Azkahban, Children Of Men, all great movies IMO.

All great movies (Prisoner of Azkahban is my favorite HP), but I don't get the must-see vibe from him that I get from say, Spielberg or Scorsese. At least not until Gravity.

Not so sure about "great," but whatever.

i still get that from Scorsese (but not like I did during his heyday), but not Spielberg so much anymore. Had zero desire to see Warhorse and Tintin and when I tried to watch them, i couldn't get through more then 30 minutes. Although I thought Lincoln was brilliant, before that, he hadn't made a movie that I was really impressed by since Catch Me If You Can.

 

[Stout]

One word describes this film perfectly: overhyped. Stunning visuals and good use of angles and wide lens shots. Clooney's character rocked and Bullock's wasn't bad. The imagery hammer was about 1,000 lbs, though, and the plot had more holes than Carter had little liver pills. I mean, you'd have thought it was a comedy, it elicited that much laughter. I want 1 1/2 hours of my life back, along with my ten bucks.

Plot Summary: Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone--tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth...and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

Saw that coming a mile a way. I pegged this the first time I saw the commercial. :fireball:

I do however know what Sandra Bullock ******* for an hour and a half sounds like.

Well played, sir, well played.

Anytime a filmmaker has to invent the technology to realize his vision, you can usually count on a great movie. They've invested too much to make anything less. Think:

Star Wars
Lord of the Rings
Avatar

I am sure there are more examples.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that neither Peter Jackson or James Cameron invented CGI.

did crisper say they did?

Crsiper said they created new technology for movies, which they did.

here's an article all about the innovations Cameron has made in film:

and Peter Jackson helped created WETA, which is one of the biggest FX firms in the world and amongst the most respected. there are countless articles about this.

Wow! That is REALLY at odds with all the critics. RT has it at 98% fresh.

With all due respect, since I do agree with a lot of what you say about movies, I'll gladly pay the bucks and be my own judge on this one.

Did you see it? What's your take?

Considering you and I are on the same page about 90% of the time I'm doubting you agree with Stout as often as you think you do.
