    clearly someone saw it in non-IMAX and 2D. :rolleyes:

    Seeing that scene in 3D, you feel like you're RIGHT THERE!

    Excellent use of 3D effects. I'm pretty sure Royce White won't last a minute of this movie. I know, I almost walk out a few times. (I have fear of heights :grin: )

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

    Loved the 3D. Hands down the best 3D movie I've seen. Great action. Special effects were great. Seemed perfectly timed at an hour and a half. Very enjoyable. Went a little haywire towards the end (fire extinguisher, y'all!!).

    Good flick for sure. Not sure I understand the people calling it a "masterpiece".

    From a visual/technical perspective, it's absolutely a masterpiece. As for the rest of the movie, not so much.

    Yeah, I saw that and rolled my eyes. Complete ripoff. And it's not like WALL-E was that long ago, either. That was part of my disappointment with the ending in general. Just a bit too much suspension of disbelief.

    It was a movie. Not a documentary.

    Visually one of the best movies I have ever seen. The story was okay but the visuals/directing was so superb it more than made up for lack of substance.

    Saw the movie last weekend. I really enjoyed it. Thought it was well done. Despite a few liberties, the film was more realistic in than many other space-related movies.

    Working at NASA for the last 13 years, I was struck with kind of an unpleasant feeling watching a spacecraft that I played a role in constructing be destroyed, even in a fictional world.

    Despite that. Two thumbs up.

    Look, ya'll, let's just enjoy that cinema is finally producing some non-duds.

    Summer was extremely disappointing.

    Now we have "Gravity" and "Captain Phillips" in back-to-back weekends.

    Gonna go hit it up tonight in IMAX.. Apparently there is no other way to see this movie than in IMAX. Heard 2D doesn't get the job done.

    Also, I think some of you may be being to critical of Gravity. I honestly think it was one of my favorite movie going experiences over the last few years. An oscar for Best Picture is in the bag imo.
