So we went to see "Gravity". For 20 minutes. [View all]

It was part of my birthday gift to Miz t.
She was 69 on Monday.
The matinee started at 12:30.

She wanted to see it.
So did I.
We're both big fans of Bullock and Clooney.
Win-Win?
Not so much.

She wanted to see the 2 D version, as opposed to the 3 D.
I was fine with that.

I'll warn you.
It's a VERY INTENSE film.

20 minutes in I was a bit on edge.
Acrophobia?
I dunno.

I looked at Miz t.
She had her eyes closed.

"You OK?"
"I don't think so."
"Want to leave?"
"I think so."
So we did.

The theater manager saw us walking out of the lobby and stopped us.
"Anything wrong? What movie did you come to see?"
"Gravity. It was a bit more than we could take."

He was very nice. Gave us 'raincheck' tickets we can use later.

Well, YMMV, but there's a good bit of spinning both of bodies and celestial bodies. nolabear Oct 2013 #14

I thought the plot was silly. Some great shots of earth, though. mnhtnbb Oct 2013 #5

A therapist friend told me that 2001 scene is the single one most often referred to by patients. nolabear Oct 2013 #16

The other thing that makes it a powerful scene kentauros Oct 2013 #17

True. In fact the ambient sound is damped. Kubrick was a genius. nolabear Oct 2013 #19

I have friends that loved it, kentauros Oct 2013 #20
