This post was supposed to be made two days ago, but I've been in and out and super exhausted since that point, so I haven't exactly had the time to sit down and type up a blog post as of yet. Now that I've gotten the time, I can sit down and share my amazing experience with you all.

Seeing as I took my flatmate NIL with me to the screening, before we start, I'd like direct you guys to NIL's post on this adventure if you would like to read it. Also, a huge “Thanks!” to both Klout and Warner Bros for giving me the opportunity and tickets to go see this movie and experience the awesomeness of it.

Now, let's jump into this post. 가자!

Although I was given these tickets and this overall experience because of Warner Bros and Klout, I have not been compensated to give any particular form of review or opinions on what was seen, in fact, I wasn't told to do this whatsoever. This is a post done on my own volition and not because I was asked to do so. Out of respect for both companies and those are planning to view GRAVITY when it hits the cinemas, I have opted not to include too many details of the movie in this post and will refrain from giving a proper review until the movie is fully out.

As per usual, all opinions and words are my own and as they are mine and mine alone, they should be taken as they are.

On the 17th of this month, I got an email from the amazing Klout that alerted me that I was eligible for a new perk. While I was excited, I won't lie that I was a bit hesitant seeing as how my first and only perk from Klout before this one were samples of Merrick Purrfect Bistro and I have no cats. So needless to say, I was expecting something small and not at all something I would necessarily need to accept as a perk. Imagine my shock when I got over the hesitation and opened my email to see that the perk was to go to a screening of the upcoming movie GRAVITY. I won't lie, I spent the next half hour in shock and squeaking silently. It was terribly embarrassing, but nonetheless, I quickly completed all the necessary steps to make sure I reserved my spot.

I wanted to go for an earlier screening, but all of the earlier ones were not only full, but had already came and went. Depressing, but it's all good. All that matters is that I got to go. I do admit that having to go on a Thursday is not ideal for me, but who am I to be picky (Beggars can't be choosers.). Nonetheless, I was excited. It wasn't until Thursday rolled around that I had a true mini-attack. There were circumstances that led me to believe that I wouldn't be able to go, but thankfully...crisis was averted.

For this screening, I initially wanted to go with otto because she and I hadn't been out together in a while and I missed her, but she told me that she couldn't go. So I instead went with NIL and it was a pretty chill time.

Selcas: NIL and I took a picture in the cinema's lavatory. We looked bad ass and I genuinely loved my outfit (but I'm a sucker for things that are black or neutrals).

We left the house at around 5:45 and we were aiming to get there way before 7pm so that we could make sure they had the right name (they didn't, they had my government name and really that was so cringeworthy to hear). Surprisingly enough, I underestimated how far the place was from our home and we only ended up getting there at 6:50. I won't lie. When we got to where the theatre was, I was immediately taken aback by how many people were already in line. The line initially wrapped around like three stores and behind me were even more people. It was so long that they had to split the line into 3 sections so that people had a way to get into the stores. It was the longest ten minutes of my life while waiting for 7 to hit and the line to start moving.

Despite how long the line was, it didn't take long for us to get in. The line moved surprisingly fast and when we got to the theatre's entrance, a woman from WB was waiting for us on behalf of Klout and directly after giving her my name, I was permitted to go right inside and take a west where there was an orange paper. Of course, there would be a bloody problem though because the two men at the door tried to stop me from entering. Can I just say how much of a huge "No!" that was? I was definitely not going to be stopped. After a quick mumbled explanation, they understood and permitted us entry. Klout reserved pretty much the front rows starting from the fourth row and stopping at the tenth or so row back. (I might be wrong because I didn't bother going back that far.) Since we arrived earlier than the allotted time, we were there sitting for a good couple minutes.

When it was the time for the movie to start, almost exactly at 7:30 as stated, a man in a black suit introduced himself as "Agent Black" and basically told us that he was there on behalf of the WB and that cellular devices were to be turned off and that if they weren't, "his men were walking around with night vision where cell phones come up as recording devices" and "he didn't want to have to ask us leave". I kid you not. Let me tell you how I really couldn't have cared any less about that threat otherwise, but I decided to not be a twat and just turned off my phone. What was really ironic to me was the fact that I was using a Kindle and Evernote durng the movie to write down notes and thoughts about each section of the movie and I was never asked to leave, even though my Kindle was bright (despite the low brightness I had set it to). So yeah, Agent Black was Agent Bullocks in my opinion. Not to mention that no one was really walking around like he said they would.

Despite all of that, I thoroughly enjoyed myself at the screening and GRAVITY was really good.

Goodies: The Real 3D glasses, my Kindle, and the orange reservation paper. Of course I had to take a picture of this since it was so monumental to me.

So let's talk about this movie, eh? I'm completely excited to talk about it as much as I can. Let's start off with the basics.

What is GRAVITY? GRAVITY is an hour and thirty-one minute long 3D film co-written, co-produced, co-edited and directed by Alfonso Cuarón (the force behind the amazing Children of Men Pan's Labyrinth and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) and also co-written by his son, Jonás Cuarón. It stars Sandra Bullock as Dr. Ryan Stone and George Clooney as Matt Kowalsky. What is GRAVITY about? GRAVITY is about medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone is on her first Space Shuttle mission, accompanied by veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky, who is commanding his final expedition. During a spacewalk, debris from a satellite crashes into the space shuttle Explorer, leaving it mostly destroyed, and stranding them in space with limited air. Without a means of communication with Earth, they must cooperate to survive.

Here's the thing, I (well, we, cause I think NIL felt the same way) went into this movie expecting it to be in your face and obnoxious as most 3D movies as of late are. Like I mentioned earlier, the last movies in 3D I proper enjoyed were Avengers Assemble and Polar Express. Normally, I find 3D movies completely unnecessary otherwise. However! This movie. This movie right here, GRAVITY? It couldn't have been done in any other way, in my honest opinion. The beautiful thing about this movie (and kudos to Alfonso Cuarón for accomplishing this feat) is that it's just that...absolutely beautiful. The beauty of the movie is kept intact and even heightened with the addition of the 3D and it left me shell shocked. The beauty of space, the sunrise, the darkness, the stars...the silence. It was so perfect and sometimes, I felt like I just wanted to be in the film and sink into the abyss willingly.

In addition to the beauty of the aesthetics, the acting was amazing. Not many people know this, but I go up for Sandra Bullock. I've loved pretty much every movie I've seen with her in it and if I haven't, it wasn't because of her. Her acting is absolutely amazing to me and I love that she's so versatile as an actress. So seeing her in this movie and seeing her act with such emotions was simply outstanding. The fear and dread in her eyes and speech sent shivers up and down my spine and the scenes in which she'd shed tears or talk about her past, I could just feel my heart break further and further. When someone can act so well that I can connect with them, they've done something splendid.

George Clooney was also really good. I love that he and Sandra were the complete offsets to each other in the movie because when I first heard about who was cast, I immediately thought of how different of an approach they take as artists in their field and how it would only work if there was a way to work in that aspect. Thankfully, Alfonso Cuarón obviously knew what was needed and implemented it almost flawlessly. Where Dr. Ryan Stone is anxious, subdued, and more often than not, irresolute, Matt Kowalsky is confident, outgoing and tenacious. Where Dr. Stone is serious, Matt Kowalsky is drily humourous. The dynamic between the two and how they play off each other is simply perfection and it reminds me of some of my own mates and I when we converse.

Of course it wouldn't be a proper Alfonso Cuarón film if there wasn't any dread, drama, or a combination of both admist all the beauty. So far, I've done well in the fact that I haven't spoiled the movie too much, if at all, and I won't do it now. Just know that GRAVITY will alter your ideals on space and being in space a tenfold.

“Life in space is impossible.”

GRAVITY is about desperation, loss, sadness, letting go, and most importantly...what determination and courage really means. It's a movie that tugs at your heartstrings and reminds you of how human you are. It's a movie that drags you to the edge alongside the characters and pulls you back just when it becomes too much. It's about suffering and living and the change of perceptions.

...and I absolutely recommend it, especially if you're a fan of Drama, Suspense, or Sci-Fi movies. Hell, if you're a fan of Alfonso Cuarón, you definitely need to jump on board and see this movie.

GRAVITY opens on October 4, 2013 in the United States and Canada. As for the United Kingdom and elsewhere, I'm not exactly sure so check out your local cinemas and see what they say. And thank you again to Klout and Warner Bros for the opportunity. I know I've said this a lot in the post, but I definitely cannot say it enough.


So after I jacked a crap ton of the 3D glasses and we left the theatre (no, I'm not kidding...I have a box of 'em now), we were heading out when we saw something that made my little 'ole fangirl heart burst into a thousand little pieces of excitement...the huge arse promotional posters for Thor: The Dark World.


First of all. AHHHHHHH!! The picture does not do the posters justice. Everything about the posters were perfect and as soon as I saw it, I looked at NIL and tried desperately to tamp down my feelings before just saying to hell with it and spazzing briefly as there were people around. You guys don't even know how excited I am about this. Second. If you know me, you know my love for Loki. Not just Marvel's Loki, but Loki in general. I love Norse Mythology and I find Loki so disturbingly beautiful that I can't even with him sometimes. Also, we know I have my (terribly hidden) crush on Tom Hiddleston. So you know I had to get a picture beside the poster, right?


I don't know why anyone would expect a normal picture from me. At all. I love Loki but bump that, I will never take a serious picture in the midst of fan attack or while standing beside a Loki poster. It's a thing I do. Deal with it. Also, I had to zoom in on the picture and paste the zoomed in version because that was far, far more amusing than it had any right to be. Also, if you aren't following me on Twitter or haven't seen yet, I'm working on trying to get Tom to look at this picture because I've no idea what shame is. Y'all should help out and click this link to retweet.

Hey, do you think Klout can get me to screening of Thor: The Dark World or no?


And that's about it! Another adventure come and gone, another post typed and made. I hope you lot enjoyed the post and let me know if you're gonna go watch GRAVITY when it comes to a cinema near you down in the comments below. ♡

Until next time, lovies. Remember, I love you like I love cream cheese frosting. Well, I love you like I love strawberry cake topped with cream cheese frosting. Nomnomz.
