I'm going with Thor 2. I actually liked Gravity as well but I had a really bad theater experience with these two teenage girls constantly talking along with a guy who kept answering his phone and describing the movie to whoever called him. Also is texting during a movie ok? because I can't go to a movie without 4 or 5 people texting or going on the internet on their phone. I find the lights are kind of distracting, but maybe just need to learn how to ignore them.
Easy The World's End probably followed by Star Trek Into Darkness. Sadly the two Marvel outings this year have been quite underwhelming after the high of The Avengers.

this is all heinous. i go to the cinema on monday or tuesday mornings, when it's only ocd nerds like me who don't even eat in there, i cannot handle the behaviour in evening shows at all, so inconsiderate.
i go to the cinema a lot, i enjoy a lot of what i watch but it's rare there's even one film a year that i really like - last examples are Blue Valentine, Hunger, and The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford.
this year what i enjoyed most was Emma Thompson's performance as P.L. Travers in Saving Mr. Banks.
I had a great time at Pacific Rim and saw it at IMAX 3 times...Thor 2 was really fun too. This conversation will probably be different, on my end, after I see The Wolf of Wallstreet next week.
Hmmm, probably either Riddick or Fast & Furious 6. Whatever, I fuckin love Vin Diesel. He makes great, dumb action movies that are right up my alley.
I wanted to like Star Trek Into Darkness more than I did. I'm not even really a s Star Trek fan, but I cannot stress how much I loved the 2009 movie. Into Darkness wasn't terrible, but I don't feel like it was even close to being on the same level as it's predecessor.

No way in hell is texting okay in a theater unless you can find a way to do it that makes it completely non noticeable to those around you, if I feel like during a movie I have to have the option for someone to be able to contact me, I sit in the very back row so the only person the light is effecting is me and me alone. You are in a dark room with lights flashing in your face, tell people to cut that crap if it's annoying you! Maybe it's all dependent on where you live/the type of people with you but I've had a few people doing that at the theater I go to and when I asked them to stop they did, all but one guy. It's never on us to ignore them it's on them to not be asshats to us.
I hate those kind of distracting bastards. Idiots have no etiquette. Why did they come for a movie if all they wanted to do was use their cell phone throughout? I went for Hobbit a few days ago and was almost about to shout out loudly in the theater for everyone to shut up and watch the film (people were also continuously talking and laughing loudly)
I changed my seats instead; went and sat up front.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, it seemed like only me and my dad seem to care about these things in the theater we go to. Maybe most of the people going to my theater are just rude, because no one listens when you ask them to stop. I actually think it is kind of weird that people pay money to go to the movies but spend all their time on their phone.
Its probably between Pacific Rim, Iron Man 3 or 42 for me. Though I really need to see movies like The Wolf on Wall Street and Saving Mr. Banks to see if any of those films change my mind.
Edit: I also should of seen The World's End when I had the chance.
Pacific Rim, The World's End, and Fast 6. Gravity was excellent as well. I wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did because the trailers were really silly, but it was a beautiful yet simple film.
I saw Out of the Furnace the other week, too. Really enjoyed that.
I've only watched like 2 2013 films, and Only God Forgives was trash, so my favourite film of 2013 was New World, a Korean undercover cop gangsters n shit film with the greatest elevator fight scene I've seen.
Elysium. I thought District 9 was pretty good, but not the holy grail as it was made out to be. But Elysium just stuck with me. I enjoyed just about everything in it, from the characters to the world to the art design. And the action just hit hard. Surprised by the meh response it ended up getting.
Man, I just realized I saw a stupid amount of movies this year.
Mine is probably Prisoners. There are a ton movies that came out this year (or are about to come out) that I haven't seen yet, I have a lot to catch up on.
Prisoners, The Place Beyond The Pines, 12 Years A Slave were all fantastic. Didn't see the hobbit yet though and The Wolf of Wall Street isn't out yet. I think I'm giving it to prisoners though. There was nothing incredible original about it but it had me glued to the screen for the entire time.
I hear Wolf of Walstreet is awesome. Haven't seen it yet though. I've only watched a bunch Summer blockbusters this year, of which none actually makes the cut - because I forced myself to go and watch The Hobbit: Smaug's Desolance a few weeks past - and yep, that's been my favorite movie going experience of the year. Follow by Pacific Rim maybe? Who knows.
I only had a chance to see The Hobbit, Pacific Rim, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. I really loved Catching Fire but I have to give it to Pacific Rim. I doubt I'll have a chance to see Gravity in theaters but I hear that one is great as well.
