Gravity

Maybe that part of it was more subtle than lamaros and I thought it was.   

If you lookup Cuaron's spoiler explanations you'll see that it's indeed not as simple as "birth."  It's a very complex cinematic analogy, and done pretty well I'd say.  He put a LOT of thought into it (everything including the subtleties of the location setting as Lakov says). 

One could take it even further and inject some panspermia into it.  e.g. humans were derived from space, evolved via the seas, shedding bonds, and so forth.

My fav. scene though gave me chills:

I mean, you could hear a pinprick during this entire movie even after it was over... and not in a bad way.  People were generally very effected.  Honestly I dont see how it doesn't get an oscar, though as said, the IMAX3D requirement may hold it back.

No, I mean, we both got that, and we were talking about how hamfistedly obvious it was (he was complaining about it, I was saying I didn't mind the hamfistedness because subtext doesn't necessary have to be subtle for me to appreciate it).  Then in the middle of that conversation you popped up and started explaining the "hidden" message that we were discussing the obviousness of. 

See, it's funny.

Indeed. No wonder some misunderstood my alligator comment!

The movie is now out on disc/digital. I rented it and watched it. I had really wanted to see it in IMAX and we planned to go see it in IMAX.

Then I got laid off, so our normal mode of SEE EVERYTHING slowed down significantly.

Loved the FUCK out of this movie. At one point I was juuuuust on the safe side of a panic attack, which made me realize that maybe it was a good idea that I DIDN'T get to see it in IMAX. I'm going to sit with my thoughts and maybe watch it one more time before the rental period ends. And then I'll just buy the Blu-Ray anyway.

This movie almost got me to buy a 3D Blu-Ray player. Almost.  That feature of our new TV will have to sit unused a while longer though.

Don't stress it, because really you'd need an 85" TV to take advantage of the resolution.

Well I finally saw this earlier this evening on my 40" tv at home - so I definately missed out on the IMAX 3D experience.

I still thought it was pretty good, with one minor gripe that was missed.

Guess what?    It was only $4K.  I was stunned.

Wow, this movie was worse than Her.

Now on HBO for us tightwads.

Really enjoyed it, first movie I've seen in a while that I was actually blown away by the FX. Excellent film.

[Nebu]

Wow, this movie was worse than Her.

I think this movie was intended to be more of an amusement park ride than anything.  If that was the intention, it did the job.  As a work of cinematic art... yeah, garbage.

[Furiously]

I think Tom Hanks did it better. In both movies that are applicable.

Paying for HBO is the exact opposite of being a tightwad.

The CEO of HBO is on the record saying that the company does not care if HBO Go access is shared with non-subscribers. So all of you paying for HBO, be a buddy and share it with your friends!

[Shannow]

To explain, I pay less in a month for HBO than the cost of a movie ticket or on-demand movie..:) It also pays for my netflix subscription as I traded my hbo password for my brother in laws netflix password.

Movie is good but only for cinema, special effects make this movie good so it's not the same feeling watching somewhere else.
