Sure, the story itself was pretty pat--really just your standard "woman-in-peril" flick--but the visuals, the editing, the sound and whole structure of the thing I found utterly thrilling. Intersteller is on my list for certain. Thanks for the reminder of Zero Theorem--I'm pretty much a Terry Gilliam completist, but that sailed so far under the radar that I think I'd forgotten it existed. On to the "to-see" list it goes!Russell Arben Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03366800726360134194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907752.post-87456660161652015362015-01-03T15:46:37.175-06:002015-01-03T15:46:37.175-06:00All is Lost was my favorite movie of the year till...All is Lost was my favorite movie of the year till I saw Interstellar. Not sure the portrayal of the story required control, but I guess in a sense if those you mentioned hadn’t, the movie would have been like the lesser Gravity—full of bogus sentimentality and a boor to watch. Guardians of the Galaxy was great in theatres, and would be in my top ten of the year, but was hard to watch more than 30min. of it at home. Did you see Interstellar? This is definitely a movie needed to be seen in the theatre. Did you see The Zero Theorem? Others I would add to a top ten would be Secret Life of Walter Mitty, if only for two scenes ( Space Oddity and the leopard) and The Book Thief. Think I’ll check out Ninotchka this weekend.
