The movie looks incredible, Children of Men is one of my favorite movies.
It also has an awesome score.

This is one of those films that you may want to give 3D a chance.

I was really mixed on wanting to see this...But you guys are hyping it hard. I may need to see if my wife is interested in going out for movie night when this comes out.

All I'll say so to avoid spoilers;
This is a movie you should see in theaters. It deserves the scale.

I hope you guys don't expect the characterization and dialogue to be top-notch because sadly they're not.
Film is good otherwise though it's not my cup of tea. Too much focus on visuals and the experience to the point that it feels like a Universal Studios ride.

What characterization? They're a couple of astronauts drifting in space.

My most anticipated movie for the last few years (Prometheus had highly anticipated before this but my anticipation for this dwarves that) and I'm apprehensive my expectations will be too high going in but, even still, I'm very much looking forward to this. Even though I was initially wary of Bullock the praise she's been receiving, in my very limited scanning of short, one-line impressions, has me confident that she was a suitable lead. I'm definitely going to be seeing it Day One.

I needed a full 30 minutes to decompress from my first viewing of Gravity.
In some ways I felt like an astronaut trying to reorient myself with the gravity of Earth after the roller coaster ride Cuaron takes you on.
I then proceeded to line up for 3+ hours to watch this film again less than one week later.
And will no doubt be back again for another ride next weekend.

Depends on what you're looking for out of the movie, but this exceeded all my expectations, and I had a ton because of Children of Men.
It uses 3D quite a bit, but it's not a blatant 'THIS IS OBV 3D' kind of thing. You should be totally aces.
This was pretty much me too. It took me until I got home to really decompress.
...I didn't line up for 3+ hours the next time though, just half an hour (thanks Klout)

So I love some good hard science fiction and i've been curious about gravity for a bit, but seeing all this hype has me wondering, for the people who have seen it (or probably read more reviews than myself), is gravity simply a great movie or is it actually some giant achievement in film and science fiction.

True... but then perhaps they should have cast someone else to play Clooney instead of casting Clooney to play Clooney because then we could say "Man, that actor does a really good Clooney. You'd almost swear it was him." Then, we could be impressed.

Believe it or not, it's really not Clooney playing Clooney so much as GRAVITY SPOILERS..kind of?
Clooney playing Robert Downey Jr., since the role was written for him and not Clooney. Clooney's just dat good

The film tries so hard to get you to care about Bullock's character. You'll see what I mean.

I hope this is good. I've been needing a good science-fiction film for quite a while.

It's not on the level of Children of Men, but it's very, very good.
It's a MUST-SEE on the biggest screen possible. You'll feel like you're in space.

I agree with the latter, unsure on former, I'd need to watch it a few more times.
But yeah. I get it wasn't shot in IMAX, yadda yadda. Doesn't matter BIG FUCKIN SCREEN

slowly been getting interested though.

Got my IMAX 3D tickets for next week Saturday, pretty damn hyped for this. And the Melbourne IMAX theater apparently has the 3rd biggest screen in the world, so I'm going to space y'all!
Cuaron. Original story. Completely reinventing the use of 3D in movies.
I don't understand any reluctance. There's this movie (Gravity) and then, several leagues down, there are the rest of the movies released this year.
Even an average director wont make a movie unless they have the right actors for the roles. What would make anyone think that Cuaron is taking a chance, rolling the dice, with Bullock?

Bullock is very, very good in the role -- she's even more convincing than Clooney. Fear not.
I'm glad, even though her face will ruined the film for me. I still see Miss Congeniality.

Just saw this tonight--it's a beautiful, well-made film, but it lacks much substance. It TRIES to latch onto a theme, but it's mainly a 90 minute suspense/action film.
I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. CoM is mainly a chase movie, after all.

6 days out. Still completely dark outside of the first trailer and Cameron's boner for the film.
