re: Gravity Review: 10/10

some minor spoilers contained in this bellow.


ok so because the gravity thread about its rating has fallen apart like Karen. I thought we should start a thread for only those people who have seen it.

My thoughts:

first let me say my rating of this is far from final. I think the beauty of this film is lost in the first viewing simply because it is so intense. Because of the intensity you aren't away of the camera work the lighting the dialogue you are just thinking is she going to make it? So I would give a more final review once I see it again and maybe a couple more times. But a first viewing rating I would give it a 9.9 out of 10. The ONLY reason I give it a 9.9 and not a 10 is there are some minor scientific errors that one of my buddies noticed but I didn't notice it as the film was going on so what ever.

But the first 10 or so minuets before all goes to hell is just amazing. The camera work is great there is even some comedy going on. The visuals are amazing, and I think Alfonso Cuarón in many ways is just showing off early in the movie how good of a long tracking shot he can do and the impressiveness of the CGI.

Once the movie got intense as she was trying to go through ISS and such I was so focused on what was happening I didn't notice what the camera was doing. While I can't say this for certain because I wasn't paying attention but I believe Alfonso Cuarón again was using long tracking shots. I suspect he built a model ISS and just followed with one unbroken tracking shot as she attempted to find the life boat.

There was alot of comedic relief in this surprisingly which was ok but it doesn't make or break it.

I think that is all I can think of
