Yes, the idea is terrifying. However, the movie is not a horror movie. It's supposed to be intense, thrilling, suspenseful... any of those I'd accept. Scariest movie ever, no. |

I agree. Saw Gravity Friday night in IMAX 3D and it is the definition of thriller. The director did a fantastic job of ratcheting up the intensity and then giving the audience some space (pun intended) and let everyone get back to neutral. This is the best movie I've seen in years.

I saw it when you originally posted it, but forgot about it. Apologies. And if you don't think I get emotionally vested in movies, you haven't paid any attention to my posts in movie threads. I get very invested emotionally, it's about the only thing I want in a movie - to make me feel something. I'm especially fond of movies that make me sad or particularly angry. In fact, I think you and I have been on the same side of some of those discussions with others. I didn't find Gravity scary. I did find it intense, thrilling, suspenseful, and at times sad. |

The following actresses all were offered and declined the lead role in Gravity before Bullock accepted:
Angelina Jolie (twice), Natalie Portman, Jennifer Lopez, Rachel Weisz, Marion Cotillard, Carey Mulligan, Blake Lively, Scarlett Johansson, and Olivia Wilde. Oops. They are all probably kicking themselves now.

Not saying it's not true, just shocked so many wouldn't jump at chance to work with AC. But, I'm glad as hell they didn't go with the above list. It's weird bc I'm not a Bullock fan, but her age, demeanor or whatever just seems to fit more in line with a doctor selected for a special mission simply based on her professional expertise being an asset to NASA.

Scary depends on what you are scared OF.
