Saw it last night, not impressed.

How did it get nominated for anything apart from CGI ?

....much like Sandra Bullock....I have it on BluRay, graphics stunning, script dire, acting so so (unless you like Sandra Bullock repeating 'no no no no no' a few hundred times).

Haven't see it yet either but the preview clips were enough to make me avoid it so far.

Sandra Bullock may be fit as a butcher's dog but sometimes even that isn't enough.

Well ..not one I bought on Blu Ray ..
I have seen it and although it was OK ish ..I felt it was more a technical homage to the 3D movie experience and as such not enough effort put into the story ..

Yesterday I pre-ordered the Martian on BR ..
Hope I'm not disappointed..
The last one I bought was Interstellar ...and enjoyed it muchly..

Of the 3 recent space movies The Martian I enjoyed the most, saw it on release day in the pictures.

Saw Gravity actually on Google Play Movies, was given it as a free gift by Google for some reason I forget. Enjoyed it for what it was, although her landing so close to land is miraculous.

I will have to watch interstellar again at some point, but whilst it did cost a packet to make, it did not feel worth it.

I've got Hobo with a Shotgun pencilled in for next weeks matinee.
