$16 Worth of Gravity

So, just saw Alfonso Cauron's Gravity and spent the extra bread (< a hip word for money...in like 1982) for the dollar store ray ban 3D glasses.   Worth it.  I honestly don't enjoy 3D movies, ever since the glasses stopped being fashion accessories for Back to the Future characters it just hasn't spun me.  Always feels like a waste of money afterwards.  However I had no regret dropping the SIXTEEN DOLLARS (that is insane) for that 3rd dimension, as this whole flick was more about experience than story.  There is a single tear drop that is worth the price in my opinion, but overall it was a great use of the gimmick and I'd encourage you (lone reader) to fork over the dough (they really liked to use food in reference to money back in the day huh?) if you plan to see this film.

Also, this is one to catch in a theatre, 3D or not, I just can't imagine it being the same on a smaller screen without the impressive sound and scale.

Review wise, let me just say it was great, however it is no Children of Men, if we are for some reason comparing it to the director's prior work.  I'll add further thoughts once I've had the chance to sleep on it, but if you had any apprehension about dropping the cash on it....don't.  $16!!!  + no regrets = great film.
