GRAVITY and 47 Ronin Trailers
Amazing work by Framestore
GRAVITY – Detached
GRAVITY – Drifting
47 Ronin
This is what aintitcool.com has to say about the early screening of Gravity! So proud of this team amazing work!
Some quotes:
“Gravity is a fucking masterpiece.”
“This is not just next level shit, this is several levels ahead of next level shit, & quite possibly the highest level shit you could possibly make.”
“It’s beautiful, and awe-inspiring, and profound (and a little scary too), everything you thought it would be since you first thought about going to space when you were a kid.”
“It has some of the best uses of first person POV shots I’ve ever seen, making you feel like you too are hovering right over the Earth, so close yet so far away.”
“Sandra Bullock’s character has no family down on Earth. No friends. Her job is up in space. She’s struggling to get back to survive, but in truth, she doesn’t have much to live for down on that planet, so why even go through the effort? To me the film is about apathy and isolation. It’s about people today not knowing why they should be excited about living but only knowing they don’t want to die.”
“This cut still gets my ultra-rare 11 out of 10 rating though, & it can only go up after I see the 100% completed version. Congratulations Mr.Cuaron, you sir have changed the game.”
