Amph Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity (spoilers inside)

I'm not crazy about Sandra Bullock's involvement, but hey it's Alfonso Cuaron doing sci-fi, so I'm definitely seeing it.

 

I can't see anything since the picture won't show up

 

What did I just watch?



EDIT: Ok, so its an astronaut movie. Ticket=sold

 

Been looking forward to this for a while. Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, although

Spoiler

I take it from hints about the production that Clooney's character bites it in the first act

 

It has my attention, but it is all vague teaser attention.

 

They had me at "Cuaron".

 

I am definitely interested.

 

This is not the same official teaser trailer as the one posted above? Looks very good.

 

Ok, yeah, got me.

 

me too. I've known for 18 months what the movie was about, but the accident sequence itself - did not imagine it looking anything like that. But what's the deal with the space shuttle "Explorer"? Is that not the shuttle? Some kind of imagined replacement shuttle?


?

 

Sort of

 

Yeah I've seen the Explorer replica. Doesn't explain why the trailer shuttle is named "Explorer" or whether it actually is a supposed to be the shuttle. I'd hate to think the movie is set in some kind of alternative past when the international space station was being built.

 

I would take it more as a nod or easter egg. No biggy.

 

Probably just a result of the film being in development before the shuttle program was permanently shelved.

 

The sort of film I'd prefer to see featuring two lesser known actors.

 

good point. Gravity began filming one month before the last shuttle flight, not that there was any mystery about the program coming to an end. Probably didn't expect the film wouldn't be released until late 2013. Nevertheless: a bit late for a movie about a fictional shuttle disaster.

 

Well it began filming then, but it had been in development for many years before that, so I don't think Cuaron was about to let that go so easily. Apparently it's quite the passion project for him.

 

This one is actually comprehensible.

 

So this seems to be getting pretty good reviews so far.

 

I will be watching this in theaters.

 

Saw the trailer when I saw The Worlds End at the local cinema. I'll wait for reviews but if they are good I'll probably go see it.
