After seeing the first trailer...I thought this movie could be a stinker.
Then, I saw the reviews it was getting...nearly flawless.
Checked it out today...the film is fantastic. Perfect? No. The go-home sequence was a bit over the top and Sandra Bullock HAM'd it up in that sequence. With that said, after thinking about it...its the best and greatest use of 3D in the history of film to this point. This movie was a technical masterpiece. This film should win ALL DA VISUAL EFFECT AWARDS. The always moving, long takes in this film are something they'll be showing film students going forward. That is how good and how impactful it will be on the industry moving forward.
I'm not often sucked into a film quite like I've been sucked into this one. There are scenes that legitimately pulled me from lounging in my theatre chair to the edge of my seat...not necessarily because of a plot device, but the cinematography just sucked me into the screen, my eyes rolling around my skull with each rotation these characters took while hurling through space. Very very well done.
Many thumbs up.
