Matt C 455 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 nonsense! thats only a small surcharge!Those $1.50-$3 surcharges quickly add up, and then even more if you're going for genuine IMAX. 80% of Gravity's opening weekend gross came from the 3D and IMAX showings.

Matt C 455 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I've seen Gravity in both formats -- and the 2D is nowhere near as immersive. I would say the 3D adds to the experience like Avatar did... it's not something the studio threw on to make more money.filmmusic, considering a good amount of people around that age bracket (40-79 year olds) came to see Gravity -- they were perfectly fine. Some were a little frazzled by the experience, but in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'd say if you make it through the Ben Gardner moment, you'll survive the rest. English phase 'I have no time for x' means I'm not interesting in seeing another film in 3D. With the exception of AVATAR, the 3D-ness has detracted from my movie going visits. If the 3D worked for you in Avatar, then it certainly will here as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I agree, its the first time 3D has completely worked for me in a non animated film (Tintin) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 3D has never completely worked for me, though this is easily the best of the ones I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Yet I've never consciously noticed so many of 3D's flaws as here - most likely due to the space settings, strong contrasts, sharp contours etc., and of course the standard 24fps jerkiness. A 48fps version of this might have convinced more people than The Hobbit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 What separates Gravity from most other converted to 3D films ive seen is that Cuaron directed every shot with the intention of it being seen in 3D.3D requirs a different style of shooting.A film like Iron Man 3 features a lot of quick cuts and shaky cam in its action scenes, which dont work in 3D because that style if shooting and editing ruins the immersive quality good 3D has.Avatar, Hugo, Tintin, Gravity all use a lot of sustained, fluid shots which give you much more a feeling of depth even in 2D.DePalma should do one in 3D...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 If you are shooting a film which is almost completely CGI, and you intend to have it converted to 3D, what would be the point of "shooting" it on film.For the exterior scenes, spacewalk stuff everything is CGI with the exception of the actors faces. So even the space suits arent real.Doing that on film has no benefit what so ever.It would be creating a film on a computer, transferring it to film, and transferring it back to digital again so it can be played on digital projectors in the cinema.

Matt C 455 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 I'm impressed with the CGI then if even the space suits weren't real.There's behind-the-scenes photos of Clooney and Bullock... and it looks like they wore half of a suit, while the rest was motion-capture. I find it extremely impressive that they generated the visors digitally, but I guess they did that to control any potential glare from the set lights.

Matt C 455 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Specs on the upcoming blu-ray release.Could "Gravity: Silent Space Version" be a version without score?Seems like it could be an alternate sound mix offered, with the score dialed out. I don't know how it would fare, since Price's score pulls double duty in the film. Sounds interesting though.I don't know why WB is offering a 2-disc DVD for this. Unless "Collision Point", "Gravity Mission Control" and "Sandra's Surprise" are really lengthy -- you could fit all the extras with the 91 minute film on one disc with no compression problems.Ooooooh, THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!!BTW, your "specs" link just brings me to the top of this page.I think Koray meant to link to this page:http://www.dvdactive.com/news/releases/gravity.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Whoops, sorry about the link. I was referring to blu-ray.com's article of it.Either way though according to a poster in the comments for the UK release, the US version isn't getting the Silent Space Version.Also, Cuaron wanted it to be a silent film in every sense of the word, except Guillermo Del Toro convinced him not to.

Jay 37,374 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Tonight Gravity won 7 Academy Awards out of 10 nominations.It won Best Director, Cinematography, Film Editing, Original Score, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, and best Visual Effects.It didn't win Production Design (lost to Great Gatsby) or Best Actress (lost to Cate Blanchett) or Best Picture (lost to 12 Years A Slave)I remember when I saw it, I really liked it and thought it was a great movie. Didn't know it would go on to be a commercial and critical success, and win so many awards. Let alone a best picture nomination!Planning on watching it at home soon, I am curious how it will compare to the time I saw it in the theater, in IMAX....

Matt C 455 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Cuaron delivered a visceral and potent experience -- and he rightly deserved praise for it. That's why he and his son didn't win Best Original Screenplay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They drive around the backlot during the shooting and shout at people to hurry up. Also they constantly remind the crew that time is money and use whips to drive them on with ever hurried pace. But mostly they just drive aimlessly around the studios all day long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
