My Tweets hardly ever convey opinion. Mostly perspectives on the world. But if you must know, I enjoyed #Gravity very much.


Haven't seen the movie but I loved seeing this on my Twitter feed.
 
Actually took a trip out of town to see this last Tuesday on a supposed IMAX screen. It was also the first IMAX screen I'd watched, and while it was appreciably better than a typically good digital screen, it wasn't the really big IMAX "Experience" screen that you've heard about. Instead it was just an IMAX digital screen. Looked great, but not sure it was worth the cost for gas or the ticket over just a regular theatre.

Anyway, the movie itself was great.

Always good to see Bullock in a more serious role, and I might actually have to watch The Blind Side.
 
^Not quite, but still not up to the hype in my opinion. As far as this kind of movie is concerned, Moon topped it for me. And not even Bullock in space underpants could surpass it.
