So they burn up in the atmosphere? Where the hell does this movie go from here?
The entire movie is Sandra Bullock floating in space.
As dramatic as it seems, she would not continue to drift away from Earth indefinitely. If they were in orbit then her trajectory would continue to be around Earth with merely a slight difference relative to what it was before the accident.
I'm so excited to see this movie!

It's going to be Open Water all over again but in space, without sharks.
.. Or water.
Just like last thread.
I'm calling that one of them survives due to a Disney miracle

What is a Disney miracle if you don't mind me asking?
Calling it right now, the Russians save them all with some dramatically delicate rescue scene either in the middle or the end of the film.

The one thing that im slightly confused with is the amount of debree that hits the shuttle despite the first piece just looking like a satellite, maybe its a space station or something?
Calling it right now, the Asgard comes and picks her up with beam technology then whipes her memory and sends her back then the FBI grabs her because they think she's conspiring with aliens
anyways looks like a cool movie will watch

Something extremely improbable happening in the current situation, leading to a good ending.
I remember as a kid, watching Disney movies, this "miracle" kept on happening. It looks like the protagonist is just about to lose, hope is very low. But then all of a sudden "something" incredible happens in the last minute, turning the tide of the entire situation within a heartbeat. This ofcourse leads to the protagonists victory/survival.
In this movie, I'm guessing that one of them will die, while the other will survive. Even though the chance of survival in that scenario is basically null.
These are all speculations though, and I'm hoping they are wrong.

The correct force would put her way off the starting orbit.
Also, it seems that there is no sound from the background. Maybe this time Hollywood wont use sound in vacuum.

Deus ex machina.
[QUOTE=spekter;41576014]Deus ex machina.[/QUOTE]
Yeah alright, that makes sense. Just thought that it wasn't solely attached to Disney movies nor did it originate from them.

Hmm, well I think that applies to a lot of movies though. Most Disney movies I remember right now do have some sort of build up/hint/foreshadowing to that 'miracle'/thethingthatsavestheday. Whatever, it's not really that important anyway. Just curious, what do you want the movie to be like?
Well, this movie looks like it's gonna be depressing.
[quote]Although the trailer has audible explosions in it, Cuarón has confirmed that scenes in space will be silent: They put in explosions [in the trailer]. As we know, there is no sound in space. In the film, we don't do that."[/quote]
The [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufsrgE0BYf0]original trailer[/url] had sound in space but they've since removed it
[QUOTE=smurfy;41576156]They've definitely at least dampened the 'sound in space' compared with the [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufsrgE0BYf0]original trailer[/url][/QUOTE]
The movie was always going to have no sound. A soundless trailer wouldn't really work, they need to sell the thing.
Is this basically Open Water but in space?
Well the first trailer showed their desperate attempt at getting in the soyuz capsule while the thing burns up in the atmosphere, so yea, i guess this will be open water in space

I too have played KSP and can confirm this.

Also I get the feeling that I just watched the best part of the film.

I thought I heard some faint sounds like when the crane, (I don't know the technical term to it), get's severed.
If this film has plenty of gasp moments, I think it might be better without music.

[/QUOTE]
yes, however a single impulse (that won't kill her) won't ever manage to do that, you'll need a sustained thrust to escape earth's sphere of influence
Well she is still gonna die because there is no way to rescue someone stuck in orbit within time.

Well, I want it to keep the hint of realism. I want the characters fight for their survival, but then realize what their inevitable faith is, and thus accepting it. They are in an incredible hostile environment, and I want to see how they handle it. If in the unlikely case they actually find a way for atleast one of them to survive, I want it to be very thought out. A kind of idea/solution that would impress the audience, not a last second miracle which the writer put in just because he wanted a "better/kinder" ending. Shyamalan did this with the "water kills the aliens" in Signs.

That's not a bad idea at all and honestly, it's the only 'logical' plot I could think of after watching this trailer. Well, I guess it can be 'happy' but I think it's much much much harder to pull off with a topic like this without it being sappy.

A random happy/sad ending out of nowhere works nowhere.

Since this is a movie trailer there is a 99% chance that this trailer ruined the best part of the entire movie
I used to get excited about trailers and seeing what movies were going to be like but then they just blow their load before you've even gone to see the movie; trailers are garbage

Same thing happened to me with Man of Steel. Sometimes the trailers just make better movies than the actual movies you see. Hopefully, this movie will have lots of stuff to show.

This isn't an action movie.

In a movie like this one, I believe an ending which had "understanding" instead of sadness would fit the best. An ending where either character would reflect upon the sight of the planet before him/her has he/she drifted into space, or fell towards earth. Something similar to the speech "pale blue dot", could go through their minds. And they'd have a smile upon their face as they went towards their doom.
AFAIK (don't quote me on this), astronauts are trained to remain very calm in these kinds of situations, and even if the situation leads to a 100% chance of death, the astronaut would still "record" important data and whatnot's that could be useful for NASA and space exploration all-together. Kind of like "Yeah, even though our situation is fucked, we've noticed that..."
