Honestly the best film I've ever seen. Wub, you're talking about an immersion experience, try this

^an immersion experience in the IMAX in 3D yes, in the house I doubt it would be that great. Absolutely amazing in the IMAX though.
Re: The two greatest movies of the last decade...
lol no. It works as a surviving in space film very well and also a "how did they do this?" technology show off film but the attempt to bring in the emotional side of things with the character is fucking insanely cheesy trying too hard cornball Hollywood rubbish. Only thing that would have redeemed her cheesy backstory parts would be if she'd drowned upon reentry

Limited plot, shallow script. Pretty to look at but too much style and far too little substance.Kochari wrote:Gravity

What was the cultural impact of Drive?

Kick started the neo-noir market, introduced Gosling to the wider audience in terms of his acting talent (Half Nelson was great but was an indie film and had limited exposure).OGLemon wrote:What was the cultural impact of Drive?

My top two will probably be Amour and A Bittersweet Life. I'd put Oldboy or Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring on there, but they were made in 2003.
Finding it hard to decide on just two, but I'll take:

I'll probably change my mind by tomorrow.
Edit: I changed my mind already. Sorry Wes.

Re: The two greatest movies of the last decade...
No doubt about it. Don't get me wrong when I seen Gravity in the IMAX I was absolutely stunned by it and it's still amazing as a spectacle and for that I'd give it an 8/10, but as a piece of fiction it's pretty poor, the whole backstory to the characters that was just thrown in last second was awful.Riddles wrote:Moon > Gravity
Moon is a far far better piece of fiction, although it stresses me out sometimes

Re: The two greatest movies of the last decade...
I understand the comparison you're trying to make, but you're way off kilter. Drive is a complete movie. Plot, defined characters, no need for protracted back stories to try and establish motives.garethom wrote:wub wrote:Limited plot, shallow script.

Gravity is a thin crispy shell created to wrap around some fancy special effects.

Re: The two greatest movies of the last decade...
Completely fair choices imo.The Lives Of Others, Borat
Amazing films.
two of the worst films I've ever seen.shutter island, the hunt
It's interesting what we like no doubt... I'd highly recommend
'festen' if you liked the hunt.
I would say that Enter the void, Irreversible (?), R, Ghost in the shell 2 (?), Old boy, Chugeogja, The yellow sea, Windy city heat (2003), The one with Ronaldinho chasing a puma in the jungle that Mel Gibson directed, are up there. Oh and I really liked that the Cohen brothers made a serious music film today..
Trier was much better the decade before imo, not that it's bad just not a product of genious like previously imo.

saw Gravity at the IMAX. sick pictures and all, but the film is utter garbage. Sandra Bullocks' is BY FAR the worst female acting I have ever paid for, the ending shots are embarrassingly bad and every dialogue was amongst the flattest I've ever witnessed on screen. what a shit movie.

Re: The two greatest movies of the last decade...
Moon is a subpar rip off of Solyaris
And it is still highly recommendable, but that speaks more of how amazing solyaris is.
Sam Rockwell is great.

Solaris is a cracking film.
However, 2002 so ineligible for the purposes of this thread.

Gravity shouldn't even be in the discussion. I barely made it to the end - even worse award fodder than 12 Years A Slave.
Drive does get bonus points for being an "action movie" that kept me watching til the end... doesn't happen very often. IIRC, I think I preferred Place Beyond The Pines though... saw them both on the same weekend, I think.

hubb: stop bringing Tarkovsky in. or any reference of "films before" - because else, we can just scrap the whole discussion here.
Gravity is a shitty version of 2001.
