Shill Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Watched Gravity last night at the cinema. The visual effects are stunning in 3D, without doubt the best use of 3D technology (non-animated) I have seen. Good flick as well, well worth a watch.

manxman1980 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I finally managed to get to see it recently and would agree. It also has a very emotive story line and I found the ending rather interesting as I personally found it open to interpretation. That may have just been me though.

Bobbie Bobster Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I found the ending rather interesting as I personally found it open to interpretation. Is it possible to expand on this (without creating a spolier storm)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojomonkey Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Not a spoiler but I know what Manxman1980 means, I felt the end could have almost been the beginning of The Planet of the Apes. Gravity is a really good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to expand on this (without creating a spolier storm)? I am not sure how easy that would be, however, I know what Mojomonkey is saying. It is rather an open ending. I thought of Inception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc.fixit Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 It was totally spoiled for me by the volume. I've found this is true of many modern films. Must take earplugs next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of Inception. Thanks, I understand now. Didn't get that myself. I was thinking that she probably landed in the middle of nowhere in Outer Mongolia, it would be a few days before she was picked up and she didn't even have a a NAZ kit.

manxman1980 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 How do you do that spoiler thing?! I wanted to do it earlier but could not work it out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWoof Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Basically its a pretty film, but a series of shitty things happen to the same person and she spends a lot of time moaning about it. Oh and you don't get to see her norks either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Bobster Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 @manxman Use the "Special BB Code" icon in the editor (3rd from the left on the top row) and select Spolier. @BW She had North Korean assistants?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The woman is 49 FFS just when will an actresses be able to be recognized for her acting talents and not just her "norks". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks, I understand now. Didn't get that myself. I think that's why it's quite clever. It's a bit 'life of pi' esque. Some people watch it and see one film, others have a completely different experience based on their interpretation of the 'key scene'. I like that. In the case of Gravity, I thought the movie very much had a change of direction following that scene with george and how you interpret that is probably up to you. Ace that they give you the chance but if you don't bother it's still just a very pretty action flick. Watched it through my fingers the whole time, utterly gripping, scientifically bollocks but ace enough that I didn't care. Gunna watch Enders Game tonight I think. Loved the book, going to hate the film aren't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 The woman is 49 FFS just when will an actresses be able to be recognized for her acting talents and not just her "norks". I can't say I've ever noticed her norks. I liked her in Demolition Man and The Net though - I think she'd bug the shit out of me in Gravity however.

Loved the book, going to hate the film aren't I? If I understand you correctly, you're saying that maybe the dream didn't end I think a bifurcation like that would be at odds with it being solidly in the B-Movie genre. The director has said that it was a difficult scene, as it needed to convince us that Stone had a recaptured her will to live Maybe it wasn't as successful as the director hoped. Seemingly, the latter half of the movie is full of rebirth metaphors, as opposed to the crash-bang-wallop of the first half. Tis might have left the impression that there was something funny going on? Re Ender. Having read the book many times over many years, I'm scared to watch it. Imagination can be so much better than film. And it's going to leave out a lot of the stuff about characters' and society's motivations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
