Gravity

The 3D effect is best

PlayStation 4 pro plays it as long as you have a 3D display TV. Mine is 9300D Sony 65" which plays this with immersive experience. One of a kind experience.

Good movie with simple storyline. Visuals and DTS HDMA 5.1 audio are excellent. 3D is good, would've been better if the aspect ratio could be in 16:9 (full screen), like cameron did in Avatar 3D BD.Gravity, this movie has many long shots which we could rarely see in any movie. 3d depth is very good and don't expect much pop-outs. Liked the audio very much, even smallest sound (tightening bolt, etc) can be heard.Amazon delivered quicker than scheduled. 2BDs in the box, one is 3D movie only BD and other one is Special features BD with movie in 2D. Surprisingly it has Hindi Dobly 5.1 audio which is not mentioned in Amazon specs. In this area Amazon should take care in writing detailed specs of d Disc being kept for sale.Great and a must movie to keep in ur 3D collection.

I got it at a great discount from Amazon, so I'm not really upset about the packaging issues (not really a steelbook but a metal pack, and the terrible stickering job all over the box). Gravity in 3D is well mastered, and is now my 3D demo disc of choice. The 2D version is great when you have more viewers than 3D glasses, and it packs in a good number of extras as well, which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. I would count this as a complete experience at a price that's totally worth it.

The Gravity BDs (both 2D and 3D) are - in one word - Spectacular. The AV quality is beyond comparison and hence, regardless of the packaging, this film is a must-own on Blu.Coming to the Metalpak edition by Warner Bros China (I think Sony DADC India can be blamed for taking the decision to market this edition as a Steelbook, but not for any other reason), this is everything a Steelbook is not. The surface is too glossy and is, needless to say, a fingerprint magnet. The quality of material is also inferior, as the one I got had been slightly dented upon delivery. The artwork is more prone to scratches here. And adding insult to injury, the leaflet containing the disc specs is glued to the back of the package, which upon removal resulted in sticky leftovers on the Metalpak surface...So, if you're going for a true Steelbook for this film, then get the UK one for a couple of hundreds more. For me, the discs are in pristine condition, so this will do for now...

Already saw this movie at theater and was blown away by it. The blueray quality is simply awesome, but since the movie takes place at space , we certainly cannot expect much of vibrant colours except black. The director is brilliant in contrasting the difference between the start and the end of the movie. It makes the view that even all among the chaos , there is wonderful space in mother Earth.

Great pricing by Amazon. Superb Science fiction movie based in space full of thrill & suspense with awesome visuals & a very different kind of action in space. The movie being a multi oscar winner and at an such an unbelievable price, I had to buy this movie DVD.

This review as the title suggests is not for the movie or for the Amazon India service ('Cuz we know both are Good). Sony India must be thinking that Indians are fools to invest their hard earned money and buy such cheap metalpacks being sold to us in the name of steelbooks. I'm an avid collector of steelbooks having almost 300+ steelbooks in my collection. So it's fair to say that I'm capable enough to judge a steelbook. Just like the crappy steelbook treatment given to the The Great Gatsby, this one too reeks of CHEAPNESS on the whole. The spine of the metalpack is the worst I have seen. I have used better quality steel pencil boxes in my childhood! I don't even mind the j-card being stupidly glued to the steelbook (which actually comes off after a hell lot of efforts) BUt a STEELBOOk has to BE a STEELBOOK. Period.Sony India please don't test our intelligence and give us the same quality what you sell abroad. Please avoid buying this. The Amazon UK version or any other international versions is a far better buy than this crap!

Good movie; Good service

La película no es mi favorita del director. Respecto a la edición está excelente, contiene material extra interesante y la versión sin banda sonora para más inmersión en el silencio del espacio. la caja venía un poco maltratada de la esquina pero es mínimo el daño, no se nota a menos que revises muy a detalle. La caja es muy llamativa pues tiene un acabado mate, un poco brillante, una buena adición para colección o si eres fan de la película, el precio es excelente.

I have never done a review of a film quite like "Gravity." It would be hard to place it into any one recognized film genre. This is a story of survival that may be similar to those you have heard of, such as Aron Ralston's story in the film "127 Hours." But this is placed way above our own familiar environment, in a setting usually reserved for aliens and futuristic galaxy travel: the vast emptiness of space. Words cannot fully justify the extent of this experience, though I will try my best. But this is really something you have to see for yourself.Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is a medical engineer, currently on her first mission in space aboard the space shuttle Explorer. Matt Kowalski (George Clooney), a longtime astronaut, is her commander. While attempting to fix a telescope, they are suddenly warned by Houston of an impending crisis: a Russian satellite was blown up, and its debris has spread into other surrounding satellites, all of which is now heading in their direction. No sooner do we hear their warning when, like a speeding bullet, the crew and ship is suddenly torn into by an intense hurricane of smashing satellite-parts, from which only Stone and Kowalski emerge unscathed. And, to make matters worse, the satellite connecting the astronauts to Earth has also been destroyed, leaving them alone in the dark. Think of "Apollo 13," but with no Houston to guide them home.As the film's opening lines state: in space, there is no sound, no light, and no gravity. If separated from your spacecraft, as Stone soon is, you will continue to drift endlessly, unless something manages to stop you. So, after being knocked out of reach from the ship, Stone continues to spin out of control. And director Alfonso Cuarón, with no regard for nausea-induced audience members, takes us right along with her. On one side, we see nothing but desperately empty blackness; on the other, an illumination of the bright orb of our own blue planet, which is now drifting farther and farther away.Throughout the length of "Gravity," there is really no single moment (maybe one) that the camera remains stationary. We either drift along with our two principle cast members, see POV shots through their space helmets, or travel in circling arcs, perceiving them as tiny dots in the distance. In Cuarón's last project "Children of Men," there is a long tracking shot towards the end of the film, in which we see the characters wander through a hectic war-zone. In "Gravity," the extended camera shots are used to similar effect, though, as mentioned, the atmosphere is soundless here. So, as the giant arm of a satellite swings around and smashes into the side of a space shuttle, there are no explosive bangs or crashes. The intensity of these moments comes only through the reactions from Kowalski or Stone: heavy breathing, upset voices, or the labored screams of a person desperately fighting for their life. And, at all times, it is intensified by the electronic spirals of Steven Price's form-fitting musical score.Not since "Life of Pi" or "Avatar" has digital technology so seamlessly fit a movie. Yet unlike these two previous films, the CGI in "Gravity" is not meant to create an alien or dream-like effect. Instead, it serves to create as realistic a world as possible. A tiny droplet of water seeps from Stone's eye, and sails gently out in front of her. A pen floats gracefully around her head, as pieces of satellites soar through the air outside the space module, reflecting on the glinting sun, which has just started to peak its face from around the corner. As harrowing as much of this movie is, this is also, at times, a poetic experience."Gravity" is, essentially, an allegory of the many cycles of human life. There is birth, struggle, companionship, loss, and, through it all, the will to survive. At one moment, Stone is shown floating in a fetal position when first coming inside a space module, her arms wrapped around her legs, as if still inside the mother's womb. This one shot shows Stone's renewed strength of survival after the start of her ordeal. She will soon emerge from this experience, reborn and ready to fight for her life rather than lay down and accept this as the end. It is the influence of Kowalski's calm confidence at the start that finally convinces Stone that she must survive, and that she must take control, despite her losses in her life back on Earth. With the exception of the first twenty minutes with Clooney, this really is a one-man (woman) show, and Bullock manages to carry the full weight of "Gravity." This is the type of performance that deserves Academy recognition, which would make it the second nomination for Bullock in only the last couple of years.At once a virtual roller-coaster simulator ride, "Gravity" is also the most visually splendid film of 2013. And it's unlikely that another film will come close. It is a dizzying, entertaining, terrifying adventure.

Came in great shape.

With heavy hitters like Sandra Bullock and George Clooney you have gone a long way in making a hit. Good story. Great special effects. Sandra Bullock is like any of us put in an extraordinary situation and making the best of it. Exceptional film. Great performances from Clooney and Bullock.
