The hype on this movie is unbelievable. If it was a true science fiction movie, perhaps suspending belief would be possible. Instead it's about current technology, and basic orbital mechanics and simple physics. The number of errors this movie had are horrific. The storyline is dull, the characters are flat, the science (for all the claims that experts and astronauts were employed) is atrocious. I wish I would have suspended by cash and not wasted my money. Yeah for impressive CGI, now can I have my $9 bucks back?

My tinfoil hat guess - NASA's funding is so far in the dumps that anyone and everyone associated with real space science is hyping this dish rag in an effort to woo over the general public who are clueless about simple math and physics in an effort to pump up NASA's visibility for better funding. Hope it's worth selling out science to do so.

For a better rundown of the science in the movie (compared to the linked to Ars piece that was just about the trailer), I recommend Phil Plait's review: http://www.slate.com/blogs/bad_astronomy/2013/10/04/ba_movie...

see it on the biggest and loudest screen in a 50 mile radius. 3d preferrable.

Don't watch any trailers, just see the movie. Trailers ruin movies.

I saw this Friday night. It is only the 2nd movie after Avatar to do 3D right. While it does not have the most complex plot, it's supremely solid and doesn't deviate. The acting is superb and the score is well done too.

Overall, the visuals in Gravity are stunning. Do see it in 3D if you can.

Moreover, the movie has gotten positive nods from astronauts that worked on Hubble in regards to getting the details right.

This movie made me think that in the future they should try to make movies as optimized for VR as possible, and let you "be" in the main character's place throughout the whole experience. That's also what will probably kill cinemas, since you'll finally be able to get a better experience at home.

So some dude liked "Gravity"? Good news.

Wow. Big spoiler in the first few comments of the article linked. Should I still see the movie?

Awesome is an appropriate word to describe this film.
