On Sunday (day six), I went to watch Gravity on IMAX 3D. It was good - I would give it an B+ or A-. The visuals were awe-inspiring. While watching it, you just take it for granted it that you ARE in outer space. I didn't even question that, wait, you can't really film in outer space - can you? But then as impressed as I was, I was oddly not swept away by the movie. It wasn't that I didn't care - I love Sandra Bullock - always have, and I did root for her. But yet, I didn't get that feeling that I kept waiting for - to tell me that man, I love this movie. I usually get that feeling when I am touched somehow, and Gravity, even with Sandra Bullock's sad mom story, didn't really touch me. It had all the elements (an individual with a broken heart fighting the odds to survive AND to be reborn, to both let go (of the past) and not let go (of life and the future)), so it should have touched me but somehow it didn't. My heart didn't sing. So in the end I was more in awe than in love. Anyways, it's still a must watch on IMAX 3D. (But do watch it on bargain matinee because normal IMAX 3D prices are ridiculous; people who are forced to take off days without pay cannot afford to pay full price.)
