Melanie
and I saw “Gravity” tonight with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. We didn’t see it with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, Sandra Bullock and George
Clooney were in the movie. We caught a 3D showing at the AMC Theater on
Broadway and 84th where the seats are plush leather recliners you
can reserve online from a seating chart, very cool. It’s great knowing whatever time you show up your seats are
guaranteed to be empty. That’s the way to see a movie!
It
was great. If I had to give it a star
rating I’d give it 3.5 out of four. For
the story itself I’d give it 3.0 but the effects were so good I’ll go with a
3.5. I don’t know how they did the weightlessness
but it was very convincing and impressive.
There are these amazing long takes where the camera weaves in and out of
the floating actors and space shuttle like a bird.
Long takes with moving cameras are impressive to begin with, but combine
that with weightlessness and what has to be a lot of other special
effects and it’s even more impressive.
The movie isn’t great, but it’s very good. Ultimately it’s a bit one-note, though there’s
a lot of gripping suspense and the film keeps you involved throughout. It's a pretty good thrill ride all around. This one will get an Oscar nomination for special effects for sure.
