The Official Movie Thread

Caught 'Gravity', pretty good all in all, and I don't even really like the Sandra that much.

Mixed feelings on it.

The cinematography was incredible. Revolutionary IMO.

The story? One of the most improbable and unbelievable things I've ever seen. There was one thing after another to the point that, by the end, I was laughing out loud in the theatre.

The Estonian colleague I saw it with was heard saying "That's not possible" out loud more than a few times.

This has been the only movie that I've seen so far that is worthy of IMAX 3D.

Neil Degrasse Tyson had ten tweets about its implausibility :) But still enjoyed the film overall.

Jeez it's a freaking movie, not a documentary of the moon landing.

I loved it. Unbelievable visuals and non-stop suspense. Everything a blockbuster movie should be.

Like what?  ???

Going to see Natalie Portman's character wasn't the very first thing Thor did when he got back to earth?

I mean come on.

Sorry, but that would have been far too Thoring.

Yep. It was good in the way, say Jaws was good. My guess is it take home the Oscar for best picture.

I bought in. Sure, if you want to question 'reality' then lots of movies can leave you feeling left out, take the first of the new Star Trek movies, good grief, black holes, timelines and red matter, oh my!

Did you ever see Sunshine by Danny Boyle? They even had physicist Brian Cox on board to help deal with 'believability' in that film, he said this...

"Sunshine is not a documentary. It's trying to just, in an hour and forty minutes, get across a feeling of what it's like ? not only to be a scientist, because obviously there's much more in it than that. So, I found it interesting to watch the kind of people that get upset because the gravity is wrong."

Hey, don't knock Star Trek! It could so happen! All of it!

Good for you. I mean I went with it to a point but there was moment after moment after moment where the director/writer tried to manufacture suspense when it wasn't really necessary.

Case in point for me was the final moment in the Lake. I mean really? Tell me that was necessary after all the suspense/danger that came before.
 
Oscar nominations are announced tomorrow. Anyone have any picks? Of the favourites I'd probably rank the ones I've seen like:

1. American Hustle
2. Her
3. Wolf of Wall Street
4. Inside Llewyn Davis
5. Nebraska

I haven't seen 12 years a slave, Gravity or Blue Jasmine yet.

As a parent of young kids, having seen seen all of Frozen, Thor, and Free Birds this past year, I say best picture goes to Thor.

In fairness, none of the movies I mentioned have people being smashed by a hammer.
