I'm sure this forum will be divided 50/50 for this one.
-One half being the half who hasn't heard of it/seen it.
-And the other who has seen it, loved it, and I beat them to making this thread.
I saw this movie in theaters when it first came out and I didn't know what to expect. I was invited from a friend and of course my first impression was disappointment because the last thing two things he invited me to were Epic Movie and Stomp the Yard.
So I went into the theater expecting to leave it with disgust, boy was I wrong.
The cinematography in this is absolutely groundbreaking. Alfonso Cuaron, the director, wanted to utilize the element of real time to make his view into the future more realistic. So what he has is like 10 minute long action scenes that are, that's right, ALL ONE SHOT.
This movie is really amazing, and was nominated for Best Cinematography at the Oscars. It got beaten by Pan's Labyrinth, I think.
It's hard to explain this movie without telling you all the amazing steadicam shots, but just GO SEE IT NOW. It's stunning.
Here is a making of feature.

And here is a little preview of the amazing continuous shots from these movies. This one is great, although this clip doesn't show the entire shot.
WARNING CONTAINS SMALL SPOILER!
