willland Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I just saw "Gravity" on blu-ray and I am speechless. Not only was this movie an incredible story, everything else about it was unbelievable. From the soundtrack to the video quality. Now this is not a plasma vs LED-LCD, OLED, vs 4K thread but I can't believe that the video quality could considerably surpass what I just experienced on my Samsung PN59D6500 59" TV. The contrast was ridiculous and the colors had to be the most accurate I have seen on my TV. Now this thread is not about my TV, it is really about one of the finest movies(story, video, sound) I have seen in a long time. Did I mention the sound? I know this thread for the most part is exclaiming the video quality, but the audio quality is equally superb. I have never had a movie make my 105lbs Revel B15 walk across the floor the way this movie did. And I have very tacky furniture feet under the sub's feet so it does not scuttle across the ceramic tile.

I thought the colors in Gravity looked as natural as nature itself even though 60% of it was CGI. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psg Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) I just saw "Gravity" on blu-ray and I am speechless. Not only was this movie an incredible story, everything else about it was unbelievable. Up to there, I was thinking the same as you... The story is incredible, as in impossible to believe. The guy played by Clooney had basically stopped moving, yet he unties himself and it's like there's 'gravity' to pull him away. Made no sense. And then the impossible jumps, one after the other... The images were eye candy, but the story? Ah well... Edited November 12, 2014 by psg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willland Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 The images were eye candy, but the story? Ah well... Maybe the underlying story was better. Many references to birth(or rebirth) in the film. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Gravity was and excellent movie. Heck, it was nominated for one of those little satutes. Excellent low bass flick. Sandra Bullock is still a cutie, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Boy Sandra bullock disappeared for a while then came out of nowhere with proposal, blind side, and this. All of which she is smoking hot in. Especially proposal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHASLS2 Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 It was the most boring movie i have looked at in a long time. Video did look good, not much LFE for my taste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Gravity was good... but the character should have died/froze in space instead of making it back to earth. It would have made the movie poignant. As far a clooney floating away... it's momentum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 As far a clooney floating away... it's momentum Not the way i remember it. He had stopped moving at that point. Even if he hadn't, she had her feet caught in ropes and could have pulled him back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 I liked this movie, it was simple but a thriller also. Has anyone seen Interstellar yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnote Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 After watching Gravity , all that came to my mind is there's three hours of my life I'll never get back ! Even worse is the movie is only 91 mins long 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah I thought it was pretty dumb to be honest. From Sandra Bullock's moaning in such a way that she would know which way is up, to George's trademark demeanor even in this ridiculous situation, to the absurdity of finding a perfectly operational yet unmanned space station just conveniently hanging out, the whole thing was ill conceived. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

willland Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Come on guys, it's a movie. Fiction. Make believe. Contrived. Forget about the story line, the main reason for the original post is mostly about the colors. Very realistic and accurate on my plasma TV.

The 3d is so good in that movie its really intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget about the story line, the main reason for the original post is mostly about the colors. Very realistic and accurate on my plasma TV. Bill Agreed. If I watched only movies with things that could happen I would be pretty board. Seeing things we never see in real life is the point to this kind of movie. If the time is spent breaking down what could or could not happen in the movie then you probably missed the whole movie. Its called syfy for a reason. Now the question is why is someone that doesn't like syfy watching this move? Edited November 13, 2014 by Pro-Cinema_Head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paducah Home Theater Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 the question is why is someone that doesn't like syfy watching this move? Just because it happened in space doesn't make it good science fiction. Good science fiction is at least somewhat intelligent and geeky. This just wasn't. I don't consider it science fiction at all really but I guess technically it fits the definition. For some reason older people really liked it. It did really well at the box office due to the 50-60 somethings showing up in droves, probably because they were alive during the moon landings and whatnot.
