A much anticipated movie opens today, GRAVITY, with George Clooney and Sandra Bullock.
A quick review of the reviewers' first take at this movie indicates that this is a real winner - here are some notable quotes that will help set the stage to help you decide when (not if) you'll go see it!!
- "Gravity" exerts cosmic pull"
- "This film pretty much stole the show at the Toronto Film Festival this year"
- "There's NEVER been a movie like this before"
- "You've never seen Sandra Bullock like this"
- The filmmakers initially thought this movie would be a piece of cake to make - 2 characters in space? (wire and green screens?) …..think again, it took 4.5 YEARS to complete"
- "There's a sense that everything happens spontaneously - surreal freedom plus a fearful randomness that unleashes the debris storms (which puts the characters in danger)"
- "The premise of the movie is that this is the ULTIMATE NIGHTMARE in space"
- "You'll want the 3-D glasses and an IMAX theatre for this one"
- James Cameron (Director, "Titanic") calls it "The best space movie ever done"
- One scene, the opening 13-minute sequence is being called a visual game-changer - this is one of the longest "tracking shots" in Hollywood history
- Even real astronauts have accolades - Leroy Chiao (4 space missions to his credit) said this "Space is so beautiful - thanks for making this film - it took me right back there, both in the visuals and the sounds"
Let me know what YOU think of the movie - and ENJOY!!!
Til next time,
Kevin
