Fair enough. I did go take a leak so I guess I missed the birthing part. Gettin' old.

Finally got to see this and I thought it was fantastic! Felt like I was floating out there in space. Glad I got to see it in the theater in 3D.

Take the time when you can, this is an incredible film and well worth seeing in 3D.

To be fair to those who loved it and to my opinion, only go to see it if you don't mind gaping--and I mean gigantic--holes in logic. It's cool that so many people like it because of the visuals, or because they can look past that. And a lot of people can look past that and enjoy the film. If you can do so, you'll love the movie.

The story is secondary to the visuals in this film. It wasn't Clooney's, nor Bullock's, solo acting in front of a green screen that made me love this movie.

I found to be more like an Imax movie where there really isn't any story just spectacular imagery. The story was just background noise.

Exactly, and exactly why I didn't like it. They're out there schmoozing for awards with a movie that's all just pretty visuals.

Meh.

I'm so underwhelmed by the stories provided by Hollywood big-budget films any more it's almost a non-factor for me at this point.

It should win every technical award there is. That is where its haul should begin and end.

So why didn't Sandra Bullock's hair float around in zero gravity? Mulli and Neil DeGrasse Tyson want to know?

FINALLY went to see this. Had to catch this in 3D before it left the theater. Wow. There were some nitpick things that they messed up on in terms of being in space but if there was ever a movie to see in 3D that was it.

Freaking awesome effects and there were times you felt like you were out there if you had seen this in 3D. Very entertaining and I thought Bullock was great. I don't know what the hell some of you were talking about in terms of her acting.

Darn, I should have watched in 3D. Just an average movie on dvd.
