You and most of the defenders hated Avatar and yet you use the SAME argument PRO Gravity that you fought against for Avatar. yes, it is a fact.


Want to know my opinion? No? That's okay, here it is anyway.

"Avatar" was an absurd, juvenile, boring piece of crap that made my head hurt after the first 45 minutes. Then pissed me the frick off when I realized I had to sit in the theater for another two goddamned hours. Unlike "Gravity" it tried to be more than it was.

All that "Gravity" aspired to be was a visually stunning movie that captured the isolation, loneliness and terror of being stranded in space. It did that very well.

And anyone who spews silliness like "it sucked", "meh", "it blew chunks" can't be taken seriously. If it wasn't your kind of movie, that's fine. But don't embarrass yourselves with dumbass remarks.

Why? The OP thinking the movie sucked and giving no real valid criticism gave way to the rest of the awesome thread.

Plus if you took out all the Meh it sucked threads, Chicken would lose 91% of the traffic on the movie board.

My problem with the film is that while it wanted to try to be a "realistic portrayal" of space, to the point that actors were turned off to the offered roles due to the restrictive acting that the shooting style required......it kept slapping me in the face with absurdity after absurdity.

Debris field....nope

Going from Hubble to Space station....impossible

Ditto going from ISS to Chinese station



And apparently they were all in the same general area.

Even of the physics of their motions were silly sometimes, and the rules of weightlessness were altered when needed.
