Am off to see this tonight at 9.45pm, can't wait - will report back with thoughts

Edit:

I'll just leave this here...

Marky · 5 Jan 2011 at 20:28

Yep I'm going to see it tomorrow

Looking forward to it

Saw it this evening. Excellent film. I felt extremely queasy during the amputation scene though. I mean, light headed, ringing in my ears, hot and clammy queasy.

It's very realistic.

TripleT · 5 Jan 2011 at 21:36

Read about it when it happened and it's a great story. I just don't know how they've made a film out of it though... I'll wait for the BluRay.

Trailers I've seen have looked like it will be worth a watch. Hopefully get to see it sometime over the weekend.

apparently most people spend most of the film facing backwards

Don't.

Just got back from seeing it. Very intense, especially the amputation scene - I'm fairly familiar

p) with breaking bones etc, and found myself gripping my girlfriend's leg very tightly - extremely realistic. Overall, as has been said - not Boyle's best work, but not far off either.

Another impressed and shell-shocked cinema goer here. Very gripping throughout. Not the sort of story you'd expect to contain a mix of humour, drama, tension and unmissable revulsion - seeing as it's essentially a man trapped in a hole for 1.5 hours - but it does entertain and hold one's attention. Definitely worth a watch!

8/10

Found it very boring, the "gruesome" bits really aren't much to harp on about if you've seen some of the things the internet has to offer. Considering I really enjoyed Buried I expected to like this after reading such positive reviews as it's the same sort of thing.

3/10 from me.

Gustov · 6 Jan 2011 at 17:57

3/10 is a ridiculously harsh verdict. It's a good film but IMO not Danny Boyle's best.

For me, Trainspotting and Slumdog are superior productions.

Read the book, its very good, although it did nearly make me faint, very very grusome.

A friend went to see this last night and didn't get to see the end as a women did faint during the amputation scene and they had to stop the film.

Marky · 6 Jan 2011 at 18:21

I will be slapping someone if they faint during the film tonight

haveaniceday · 6 Jan 2011 at 18:23

Tummy · 6 Jan 2011 at 18:43

Meh it's okay. IMO not Danny Boyle's best work. Can confirm the above is true though, even though you're exaggerating they didn't pass out either, they were sick and had to leave.

Really? There's still a few articles that mention passing out.

Tummy · 6 Jan 2011 at 18:46

I do like Mr Franco who's the playing the armless dude in this.

Really enjoying the opening music / shots

Gustov · 6 Jan 2011 at 19:02

tut tut!

I really hope you're not posting in the cinema

People who use their phones during films deserve a bazooka shot to the face.

Tummy · 6 Jan 2011 at 19:04

Nah wouldn't break the wittertainment code of cinema coduct (that's for anyone that listens to Mark and Simon on the BBC)

I'm sat at home

Tummy · 6 Jan 2011 at 20:21

I have to say I really enjoyed that.

Not his best work, but it's well shot and the sound / atmosphere is very well done. It's alright

thecomputerguy · 6 Jan 2011 at 20:22
