    Boco Gravity

    It's got a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, a 97% on Metacritic, and critics are calling it the best space film since 2001: A Space Odyssey.

    And it opens TODAY

    I have never even heard of this. I'd be skeptical about seeing Sandra Bullock in a space drama, but I would give it a shot.

    I was going to see it anyway, but with praise like that I guess I'll see it sooner.

    :monster:

    Definitely going to see this as soon as possible. Alfonso Cuáron is an amazing director and it's rare for a film to be this acclaimed.

    Oh man, this movie looks utterly terrifying and the SFX look amazing.

    It looks pretty suspenseful. I'd watch it, though maybe not in theaters.

    I can't wait to go see it.. probably wait till next payday...or longer.

    I hate a crowded theater. I prefer when it's just me and the person I'm with and only a few other ppl that don't sit near me.

    Will the movie theater be cool with your guys lugging your rigs in there and playing while the movie is featured?

    I didn't think much of it after seeing the trailer, but the 98% score has me a tad interested now.

    Yeah guys, this movie was fantastic. The effects were spellbinding, the editing was, well, there were a total of two cuts in about the first 25 minutes of the film, and Sandra Bullock just owned this thing. Seriously, this movie belongedto her on just about every level.

    Also: feels. Holy god feels. There wasn't a story so much as a series of raw emotions, and that's far from a bad thing in this case.

    Great flick.

    See it in the theater in 3D for best results.

    So this is the best movie I've seen in years and why aren't you watching it right now?

    If anyone ever doubted just how wrong Shorty could be, this thread combined with this movie will demonstrate that her capacity for incorrectness is beyond description. If Sandy doesn't win an Oscar for this it will be a crime.

    Going to see it with the parents tomorrow night. All I had to say was George Clooney and my mom was convinced.

    I do not understand and think you are a crazy person or you have a great home theater set-up. Movies like this are what makes the movies the movies.

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    Yeah, I obviously can't say how it actually is on the big screen, but from what the previews have shown I think this is the kind of movie that was meant to be seen on a giant screen.

    And if I did have that kind of setup?
