Gravity will be fine on bluray, particularly if the features are good because the effects are something special. However, this movie should really be seen in IMAX 3D. The immersion is really something special and the experience was phenominal.
Oh zip it I've loved 3D for the last 3 years, enough to buy a 3D TV and a fair slew of movies. It isn't the "boing in your eyes" Captain EO days, but it adds a nice bit of depth to movies, especially animated ones. Now, for my wife who has mediocre depth perception to begin with, she's not generally impressed with most 3D films, but there've been quite a few that she is able to get into. But for me, I've loved the new tech since I sat down to watch Coraline, and I haven't stopped loving it. Some films use it better than others, animated films are an example of that, especially films like Coraline that operate in a 3D space. It's not perfect, by any means, and some people will hate it (I have a friend who gets sick from watching it) but done properly can certainly elevate a film. I believe films ruined by 3D are those it was forced upon. Made with 3D in mind from the start by people who know what they're doing, it's amazing. My next upgrade will be a while from now, but when I do it'll be for a 2K or 4K passive 3D display. Hopefully by that point, LCD TV tech will be better than it is now, as it is you pick having to buy battery operated glasses and deal with plasma burn in issues, or you buy an LED LCD TV with glasses that are a dime a dozen but you get judder and an image that isn't nearly as good. Plus, plasma TVs suck with anything more than a slight ambient light. Really, really suck. But at night, we are talking gorgeous. Lifelike. I miss that, but I don't miss being able to watch anything anytime. And man, 12 Angry Men looks AMAZING in 3D!
I've yet to use a 3D technology that doesn't blur the parts of the scene you're not supposed to be focusing on. Maybe the "good" 3D is just hiding from me, but I want to admire everything in the shot, not just the part the director decided should pop out. Fix that and I'll at least be apathetic about it instead of opposed.
Gravity was fantastic. One of those movies you simply must see on the big screen for the full experience.
Gravity in 3D was an experience. Captain Phillips was memorable. Glad I saw both films. There are so many big films coming up in the remaining weeks of 2013.. Escape Plan The Fifth Estate The Counselor Ender's Game Thor: The Dark World Catching Fire The Desolation of Smaug Anchorman 2 The list goes on.
That post doesn't make sense. I don't think I get the joke. BUT The new godzilla hopefully will be dark, actiony and without any "We are the real monsters" garbage or political allegory. Edit: NOOOO! Trailer go bye bye.
Watched three movies. Man of Steel- Superman returns was much better. Pacific Rim- Great movie dudes. Real great. Orc Wars- Suprisingly goof.
Which Batman movie/movies did you like the best? Spoiler we all know Batman and Robin is the best. Spoiler just kidding
The Dark Knight or Batman Begins. Both excellent films. The Dark Knight had something BB lacked, but also lacked something BB had.
I re-watched Batman Begins and I can honestly say I think it's the best of the Nolan trilogy. As each Nolan movie went on it felt less and less like Gotham.
Keaton's Batman was and always will be the best. Sure it was a lot lighter than Nolan's versions, but I actually gave a crap about batman there. Bale is a very good actor, but he's terrifically unlikeable. Maybe that's just his real life persona, but Keaton is infinitely more likable. And seriously, Katie Holmes? Please. Reminds me that I need to snag the Batman movies on BR. Back to movies I've seen... Pacific Rim Excellent! I hadn't been this excited about a movie in a long time. I would have preferred to see it in the theater, but at home on a 55" 3D TV works just fine. And for those who saw it in 3D, it wasn't actually filmed IN 3D, but it was post converted. I can say out of all the 3D movies I own, and I own pretty much anything worth owning in 3D, Pacific Rim was the best, hands down. The only problem I had with the movie was the actress who played Mako. She had a few good moments, but she was so far from the right person for the role, it almost ruined the movie for me. Also, don't go in expecting a story. There isn't much of one. But who cares, it's big ass robits beating the snot out of big ass monsters. It's my favorite movie purchase of the year. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters I was initially excited about it until I read the reviews. Once I saw the universal hate of the movie, I decided to pass. Then, a few weeks back, something brought my attention onto the film and I read some further reviews on it, including comments from Renner and Arterton and decided to give it a try. It's simple, the movie is moronic but funny as hell. I absolutely loved every minute of the film. It was ridiculous, stupid, gory, obscene and crude but the reason that it worked was that it never took itself too seriously. I loved it from start to finish. Surprised doesn't even come close to being an accurate description. Much Ado About Nothing (Joss Whedon's version) I have never understood shakespear deeply enough to truly dive into his writings completely, but I loved every single minute of this. That said? I also turned on subtitles to make a bit easier to comprehend, it worked. That plus Whedon's ability to inject the perfect amount of humor made it fantastic. While the entire thing was great and all the actors were perfect, Clark Gregg and Nathan Fillion stole the show. It was beyond stellar and I couldn't have enjoyed it more. The Heat Seeing that I thought The Hangover and Bridesmaids were monumentally overrated, I wasn't expecting to enjoy this. But I like McCarthy and Bullock, as does my wife, do why not? Well, I will say that I haven't seen a comedy this funny in a VERY long time. I think some of the crudity in the language was forced and unnecessary, McCarthy was phenomenal in the role. I've always liked her, by never THIS much. Also, I remembered that she's Jenny McCarthy's cousin. Oh, and no fat jokes, got it? It's petty, stupid and I think she's perdy Yes, the movie was predictable and a bit derivative, but the chemistry between the two characters was excellent, and I loved McCarthy's massive attitude , I did a spit take when she "gave it to" Biff. All in all, it's an easy recommendation, especially if you liked Bridesmaids. I'm a bit bummed that Bullock won't return for a sequel, but I can see her point. Any sequels she's been in have been crap, and sequels in general are crap. I have a bunch of snooty Criterion movies, as well as some other "classics" to watch, but alas, my wife doesn't and it leaves me to watch them on my own, which is a bit disappointing and delays my ability to watch them. I still have like 4+ hours to get through in Fanny & Alexander (by Ingmar Bergman) as well as another 8 hours in Shoah. 8. Hours.
