"See? Now you've got me thinking about the movie a lot more than I thought I would be."

Me too. Maybe it's more than just a theme park ride, after all. And worthy of at least one repeat viewing. In IMAX 3D, of course.

Btw... where do you find one of those dome-shaped IMAX screens? I live in NY and I've never seen one.

I think the smartest thing he did was leave out that sort of ham-fisted crystal clear declaration, which is a blessed relief considering the ham-fistedness of the IMAX aspects. I think it's a nicely ambiguous finale to a movie that has pushed all the buttons in its audience's collective brains that tell it to not look for ambiguity. That's where I think the film is really really smart.

There's also the possibility that Cuaron didn't include that kind of ham-fisted crystal clear exposition because the character doesn't die.

Another take, and as Cuaron says, not the only one, and it doesn't mention death dreams:

Oh lord. I am going to stick with a literary interpretation rather than an Access Hollywood-like examination of "the real life drama of celebrity break-ups" offered there.

There was more to the article than the "Hollywood Insider" stuff, check the whole thing toward the bottom.

I will.

I don't think my interpretation is excluded by what the director says. A "rebirth" comes after a death.

Personally, I prefer the more optimistic take on the ending. The tagline for the movie is "Hang On". And I think that's the message that Cuaron was going for. That even in the face of extreme adversity, life matters, and is always worth fighting for. But I like the fact that he's okay with leaving it open to personal interpretation. I guess you get out of it what you bring to it. Reminds me of the quote... "We don't see things as they are, we see them as WE are."

Boils down to a matter of opinion, ultimately. Some see her dying, others don't. Moving on.

I think it's a hopeful ending in that in says life goes on, the world keeps spinning (shown literally in the film) and even the time of our death we are still learning and knowing more.

Saw it in 3D today not IMAX

Outstanding movie. Best use of 3D since the process was used in House Of Wax. Not a big fan of the newer 3D except for Avatar and now this. . It holds your interest from beginning to end. Should be up for numerous Oscar nods and it should win for special effects without a doubt. Both parties are perfectly cast for their parts. Had no intention of schlepping into NYC and paying a kings ransom for IMAX. You feel totally isolated watching it and 3D helps that feeling immensely.

Can anyone explain the difference between 3D & Real 3D?

Saw it yesterday and loved the 3-D!

Did anyone else notice that the first few shots of Sandra, without her helmet on, showed what seemed to be a giant mole on her eye lid, right at her lash line? I kept thinking, "Is that a mole, or a huge clump of masquera?"

Roxy, to answer your question, it can be very confusing as to which 3D format is best.

The oldest polarizing/passive format is actually Real3D or RealD. This is my least favorite, because it usually offers a dimmer/duller image.

IMAX 3D has a much higher and brighter resolution, so it looks better. And Dolby 3D is supposed to be great, but I've never seen a film projected that way.

Thanks for the info Best

Still confusing in that there are no real 3D'S anymore. Oh well

I saw this yesterday. I saw it in 2D on a regular screen. Let me preface my thoughts by saying that I do NOT like outter space movies, and anything to do with outter space has always bored me to tears. That being said, Gravity was truly GREAT. I think this is the first film of 2013 to actually live up to its hype. I do not know how they did this film, and how they made it so interesting and intriguing, but they hit the nail right on the head. Sandra Bullock should be taking home the Oscar IMO. If you are skeptical about seeing this (like I was), my advice is GO.

I hope you find it interesting and intriguing and that they hit the nail right on the head.

I'm sure it will be very good and I will write a review saying how it was good and I liked it and if I could ask George Clooney an interview question I'd ask him if this is his first movie it was so good.

I would ask him how he made the role his own and hit the nail on the head.

Finally, saw this today and it was visually stunning. It also had me on the edge of my seat. I honestly think this was Sandra Bullock's greatest performance ever.

I liked her better in "The Heat".

This year's "Crash."

Well, maybe that's overstating.

It has way more visual interest than Crash.

But the screenplay is nonsense, the characters nonexistent, and, for me, after the first half-hour, once the "oohs" and "ahhs” of the 3-D (which I didn't see as essential) wore off and Clooney disappeared and we were left Sandra Bullock doing her little human-emotions parade, I got pretty bored and stayed pretty bored, except for **SPOILER** the five minutes that old George showed back up to tease us. It was obvious that this was a dream sequence, though, and I knew I'd be bored again shortly. **END SPOILER**

And did we all enojy how the soundtrack went suddenly tribal in the final sequence? That's LIFE, man. My jaw hung open at the audacity of the unearned bombast of it all.

And in re: Namo's conjecture about what happens in *that* scene, I definitely didn't see that while watching the movie, and reflecting back, I still don't see it. One can choose an interpretation that makes a piece of art more interesting for them, and, hey, that’s cool. I’d love to think of “Gravity” as more than gorgeously shot, reductive tripe, but I don’t think Namo’s interp was Cuaron’s intention. And I don’t begrudge him his choice to view it that way, but, for me, it just obscures the fact that Cuaron didn’t make a very interesting movie.
