Talk about an intense movie. Wow. It was fantastic. Well worth the extra to see it in IMAX.

Gravity is amazing!

I have no clue what you are talking about.
You know. The acceleration of an object towards the ground, 32.2 ft/sec/sec.
Or a movie starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock.
My money is the comment is about the movie.
Thank's for the thread. My wife was on the fence but I've read this to her. We'll be going tomorrow.
I saw it today. Yes, pretty awesome in its depiction of the feeling of being up there. It's like seeing a short, intense slice of a person's life.
special effects and cinematography were excellent ... i bet seeing in imax was great.
the "plot" was underwhelming at best.

I just have no desire to see sandra bullock floating in space. The idea reminds me of the movie where the divers are lost at sea and forgotten. Boring.
There is nothing even slightly boring about this movie.
Saw it in LieMax 3D with my wife this morning.
This is a "Shut Up And Eat Your Popcorn" movie, but it's a really good one. The story is preposterous, of course, but that doesn't stop it being worth watching. I mean, you can't have an action movie with astronauts spacewalking at realistic speeds. Never mind how far the ISS is from the Hubble in real life, this movie takes place in an alternate universe were we have a shuttle called, er, whatever it was called in this movie.
In my totally amateur opinion, the physics of space as portrayed were sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but usually not egregiously wrong. It would have been more accurate to title the movie "Inertia" or "Momentum" but whatever. It was still pretty damned good when compared against other cinematic portrayals.
So, my opinion is thumbs up and my wife (who doesn't usually like loud, and wow it was LOUD, action movies) concurs. The story is passable with a minimum of cheap shots and the FX set a new bar for OMG awesomeness.

Yeah, you have to let go the small inaccuracies and just enjoy the movie. The "feel" seems to be about right. The mission in the movie was STS-157 (final mission was STS-135), so this means it's in a fictional universe, where the shuttle has continued to fly, maybe about 5-7 years from now. To me, this nicely explains the nice new jet pack. Also, the sets inside the space station are very accurate. If you look at tours of ISS like this:

The movie's indoor scenes really match up well to reality, aside from different lighting.

It was ok at best. Special effects was good, but story line is less than some good TV series.
it was a good movie, great performance by sandra bullock imo.
amazing direction and cinematography.

Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson had some funny posts on his twitter page about this movie.
Loved it after I saw it in IMAX 3D. Simple story but told in such a great way that the minute inaccuracies were quickly dismissed for the greater enjoyment of the film. The cinematography and action sequences...just wow. Great acting: emotional but not overly so. I haven't enjoyed a movie this much in a very long time.
Well worth the $17 bones. And I don't think I've ever said that about a movie.

Really enjoyed the movie and agree that the cinematography was excellent and some scenes were extremely well done
The CGI was insanely good and complemented the film and supported the story without being gimmicky (think Transformers)
The plot was about what you would expect and didn't require the viewer to suspend disbelief that much
Very engaging movie and the director made some good choices, especially the ending

Gravity should have ended a few minutes after it started when the 20,000MPH space debris hit them and sent her spinning off.....
We get it. You didn't like it.
A movie like that is made for 3D. Since no ones mentioned it, for 49 years old, she has a tight body.
VERY tight.
