are you kidding? The direction was PHENOMENAL. Shit, what did you fail to like about the directing?

Put all other of your complaints aside, that makes no sense.

Err, it was a nice action sequence. Die Hard in space would have been the same. Heck, it was basically the last Tomb Raider game, in space. Don't press X and Sandra Bullock gets impaled by the Soyuz antenna. The script was shit, it even pulled the "the most dangerous day is one day from retirement" schtick worthy of a Lethal Gun remake.

I bet the sequel will be that Bullock landed in North Korea.

It was great on the SFX side. Certainly not on the directing front, considering what the subject was.

It's only really worth it in 3D IMAX. It's winning tech awards for a reason. It's an absolute technological marvel.

As a narrative, it's nothing special, which is why it's not going to win anything else from here on out unless there's a tech award I'm forgetting about.

Boom.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
a standing ovation for that mediocre, awful version of a classic song? WHATEVER flop audience

Yeah the story/writing in Gravity was pretty average but the direction absolutely was fantastic. It doesn't deserve Best Picture but a movie like that could have ended up very poorly done if it wasn't for its fantastic direction.
Cuaron is an excellent director and I don't disagree. I am not a big fan of Gravity due to disagreement with its philosophy, but it absolutely deserves technical accolades.

I know they're trying to distance themselves from last year's shitshow with all the standing ovations and being nice and shit but god this is just awful

you just know it's going to be even worse for the in memoriam applause pissing contest
 
The best thing Apple has done in recent years is move away from the "those other guys are assholes" commercials. Interesting to see how Samsung is picking up the torch.
