Still wanna watch this movie, I haven't seen trailers (try to keep that to a minimum) and I like Gosling. Anybody here seen it?

Watched it twice, cried both times. Probably could have had a few minutes cut while still tight if you care about that kind of thing, recommend watching in IMAX since it's a space movie. One notable annoying science inaccuracy that felt particularly blatent was jurer gur pragevshtr jnf haonynaprq sbe ab ernfba but that's forgivable.

Just came back from the show. Loved it. Might go back for an IMAX viewing. I liked the book as well, and thought it was a good adaptation.

Cried a lot.

Yes. I really enjoyed it. Visually spectacular, pretty faithful to the book (as far as I remember the book) and Ryan Gosling was very good in it. They were even fairly faithful to the laws of physics (relative to other Hollywood movies, anyway).

Yeah, my wife and I saw it earlier this week. I thought it was an excellent adaptation of a very good book. My wife, who hasn’t read the book, didn’t like it and took a nap. (I think that’s a pretty minority position for most people who have seen the movie without reading the book.)

The book is very good and the movie is pretty faithful to the book. They did an amazingly good job of making Rocky into a real character.
