donnie Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Gravity - 9 out of 10. Managed to see it before it hits uk cinemas. What an absolutely brilliant film. Some atg cinematography, tense and exciting from start to finish. Cant wait to see it again on the big screen. Unless 12 years a slave is as good as expected then gravity easily wins film of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packoman Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Really looking forward to Gravity, good to hear it doesn't disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Is mcconaughey any good in Mud He hasn't played a decent role since his oscar worthy performance in Reign of Fire Lincoln Lawyer and Killer Joe. I'd add in Magic Mike (seriously) to that list too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will blow your mind I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 it's interesting cause the trailers I've seen for Gravity it looks pants .. made you feel like you were on a roller coaster ride with things just spinning aimlessly around and for trying to rip off Wall-E with using a fire extinguisher to propel themselves it loses more marks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) yeah same here, it doesn't look anything special to me, its actually the gf that wants to go see it but most of the reviews seem to be saying bullock is almost a dead cert for best actress (in the same way that Jessica Chastain was last year...) and it'll be up for plenty other awards too captain Phillips is the same, doesn't appeal to me at all Edited October 16, 2013 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I'm looking forward to Gravity. Cuaron is a fascinating director. Really want to see Blue Jasmine, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coda Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 With Gravity I again face the dilemma of whether to see a film in 3D. I hate 3D but feel I'm missing out if I see a film like this in 2D. The only cinema film I've seen in 3D is Life of Pi (most reviewers were raving about the 3D) and I thought the 3D was shite adding nothing to the experience.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 (edited) I thought Life of Pi looked decent but the film itself was shite. I haven't watched it again in 2D so I can't say whether or not the 3D made a difference. Edited October 16, 2013 by CarewsEyebrowDesigner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About the 3D, I don't see the point in a load of flying fish jumping out of the screen at you. It adds nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Went to see 'How I Live Now' without reading a review or knowing what it was about so had zero expectation. Pleasantly surprise at how good it was and would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 You might be too cynical to enjoy Pi Patel's allegory. Probably. I thought it was more 'profound' with its exploration of man's relationship with nature, or really the other way around - nature don't give a shit about us and we shouldn't pretend otherwise. I think it is a fair point and an important one for kids to realise pretty soon. I really did like the whole opening in the Zoo and the scenes with the family. On the other hand, the whole 'I choose to believe in a good story because it makes life more bearable' nonsense is just that. Maybe I missed something, but it did seem a bit apologist for my liking. I don't care how much comfort religion gives you, it doesn't make up for the unspeakable evil carried out in its name. I should probably read the book to get a better understanding but I have no desire to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folski Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 I've gone with Zodiac (2007) not as current as I would like but seems to be a decent cast and it ain't to long before bed, I will report back my findings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
