Yesterday we went to The Embassy Theatre to watch Gravity. This is the premier theatre where Peter Jackson shows his movies to the world and was completely refurbished in 2003 for LOTR: The Return Of The King. And since the premiere of the Hobbit it got upgraded with the new Dolby ATMOS surround system. This gives you a true 360° sound feeling including sound from the top.
And it was f***king awesome! The whole cinema rumbled with low frequency sound effects and combined with the movie it was a really great experience. I even would say this is a must to visit if you are in Wellington or nearby for vacation.
The movie with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in the main and only visible roles was a really great and deep experience. But this flick won't work on your small telly with crappy sound. This movie in my opinion only works in a great theatre with great surround sound. That being said for me it was a very intense experience. I would it compare a little with 2001: A Space Odyssey by Stanley Kubrick but only the feeling and the sense of realism. The story itself is much much simpler, almost not existent and in the end a bit too exaggerated for my taste. Nevertheless it is a must see for all space lovers and it is from start to finish an audi-visual bombardment for your senses.
