gravity - 10/10
i 100% think this movie lived up to the hype. this movie had me on the edge of my seat pretty much the entire movie. there were a bunch of things i loved about this movie that won't really spoil anything for anyone.
the movie starts out with a "continuous shot" that is simply awesome with breath taking effects. the whole movie i was literally almost grabbing onto my seat. it is basically a visual bust-a-nut from the get go, and it stays the entire movie. then they had a bunch of these styles of shots the entire flick which were so extremely well done. and to top it off, the 3d effects definitely rival those of avatar. the visuals are simply breath taking in this movie.
then you have the sound. the sound in this movie is incredible. from the very beginning, when they are in space talking to houston, and all sounds from houston come from the l/r speakers, it feels as though you are hearing it in your headseats with the rest of the astronauts. then during the movie, they have a couple different scenes where the camera pans from outside of the helmets to inside the helmets, and the transition in the sound is simply awesome. and on top of that, you have teh whole musical score. i won't spoil anytihng, but at the very end of the movie, the music with what happens gave me goose bumps. then the bass in this movie isn't just the bass from boomy explosions, it has bass at the perfect times when you should actually feel it, and you feel it more than hearing it due to the frequencies at many parts in this movie. simply perfect.
and on top of all of this, i felt like the movie was 30 minutes long. it flew by. the entire time i was pretty much on edge and there were multiple times i felt myself clasping onto my seat that i had to ease up a bit. that doesn't happen very often but with this movie it happened quite a bit.
this movie lived up to the hype 100% to me. my brother asked me last weekend if he could come watch it at my house when i got it, but i only have 2 pairs of 3d glasses so i told him that i was gonna watch it with my wife. but after it was over i immediately told him whenever he wants to come watch it i will watch it a second time with him.
there was 1 part in the movie that i started to face palm, because i thought it was 100% bs, and i even told my wife how disappointed i was with that shit happening, but then about 2 minutes later all was good and i felt relieved. if you've seen the movie i'm pretty sure you know what part i'm talking about.
