Irish panned the flick a bit, but that was AFTER he had actually seen it, so he has a referent from which to draw his opinion.
By the bye - I have been to the Mugar Omni theater many a time, Irish! I live in Marlborough, MA.
Yeah Sedai, and I always say this whenever I tell someone about a movie, my opinion is my opinion you know, and believe me, when discussing cinema I know my opinion differs from a fair amount sometimes. Trust me, I can completely see why Gravity received such rave reviews, why people liked it, and I believe I even noted that the special effects and 3D were great, probably the only time I will admit to enjoying a 3D movie, but for me, and me alone, I expected really engaging characters, a deep story, etc,etc, and that is my fault, and honestly I don't even think the movie was marketed that way, so I have only myself to blame, but thats my opinion, and as far as I know, no one is paying me for that lol.
But yeah, generally speaking, an individual should see the movie in question before commenting, otherwise its just....gossip....
Go OMNI bro, I'm down in Dallas,TX, the OMNI was a staple for us kids growing up lol
