Also everyone has their own taste in movies, and you have to know what each critic is like. If you agree with that guy 99% of the time, you might not like this movie. I have no idea who that is, or what his tastes in movies are however. That's why I like threads like this.. I have an idea of the types of movies people like, and know how much weight to put in their opinions. (for instance I can guarantee StylinRed will HATE this movie because I liked it so much  )
In my opinion, there are movies where the characters are the highlight (most PT Anderson and QT movies) and there are movies where the plot is the highlight (this movie, Gravity, most sci-fi movies actually). Just like I mentioned after watching Fury last week, the plot was weak but the characters were interesting, so I enjoyed it overall. In this movie most of the characters are weak (but the mains are good enough, and Mathew M was fantastic) and the plot, action, intensity, and visual effects were mind blowing for me.
Overall if you're a sci-fi or science fan, it's an absolute must-see. Especially if you enjoy theoretical physics and astronomy.
I just can't get it out of my head, and I'll probably go see it again on IMAX next week. |
I was so choked to find out the differences between IMAX and 70mm IMAX. I just assumed that IMAX was IMAX.
I'm going to catch it in theatres this weekend, and if it's worthy of the drive I'm going to head down to Seattle to watch it in 70mm IMAX to soak it all in. From the reviews I've read, it's really a different experience when you watch it in IMAX and expecially 70mm IMAX.
