'Gravity' teaser trailer - General

[QUOTE=booster;40592037]I bet one of them will survive thanks to a Disney miracle.[/QUOTE] This doesn't look like a typical hollywood movie so I don't know what to expect. I mean the setting is just out of this world.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;40589560]unless the explosions or arm pushed her away with a velocity change of several km/s(the g-force would kill her in that short amount of time), she will still be in an orbit around earth.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty rusty on zero gravity physics but wouldn't the explosion probably throw them off the geosynchronous orbit?

[QUOTE=Novangel;40592709]I'm pretty rusty on zero gravity physics but wouldn't the explosion probably throw them off the geosynchronous orbit?[/QUOTE] The distances here are huge, an explosion would probably only change the orbit apoapsis and periapsis by tens or hundreds of metres; not really a noticeable change in orbit when geosynchronous is at 46,000 km.

Filmed on location.

We need more space movies set in... reality. And more space thrillers. Event Horizon and Moon need some modern brothers and sisters. Edit: By reality I mean kind of modern civilization, not something in a thousand years.

Event Horizon? Reality?

Holy shit my heart is pumping blood fuckin fast, that made me nervous.

I don't like these kinds of movies. The whole plot of "They were part of ___, now ___ happened and they have to get out!" Has been consistently hard to pull off without being dumb. Also, it's kind of hard for me to suspend disbelief in movies like this (and movies in general), and I know too much about the ISS for this movie to not bug me.

[QUOTE=Novangel;40593108]Event Horizon? Reality?[/QUOTE] It's what came to mind.

Watch as the girl is the only survivor and gets picked up by a space shuttle

[QUOTE=booster;40592037]I bet one of them will survive thanks to a Disney miracle.[/QUOTE] This is the guy that made Children of Men, I don't know what you're on about.

Theres gonna be an "OHSHIT SPACEX GIMME DAT DRAGON" aspect to this isn't there? Granted they showed a shuttle here so this would be before spacex had its cool stuff...

I like Alfonso Cuaron so looking forward to this

Sound in space is just... ugh It would be way better without it, IMO.

oh fuck no I can't handle this kind of horror movie jesus christ Just drifting in space until you die aaa

Imagine watching this on ISS [editline]penis[/editline] what the christ happened oh god im so sorry

-i brought great shame to my family-

-it is time for me to commit sudoku-

-how did this get here i am not good with computer-

oh my, this is embarassing am i the new champion of quadposts now

[QUOTE=RIPBILLYMAYS;40589292]The only way gravity would pull them back would be if they pushed against each other[/QUOTE] lol you'd have to push a dude pretty fuckin hard to get him out of orbit

I have to say, dieing by slowly orbiting the Earth, albeit alone and trapped, in your final moments would probably be the best way to go

sound in space clear visors 0/10 would not science

[QUOTE=JohnnyMo1;40595023]sound in space clear visors 0/10 would not science[/QUOTE] To be honest, if they can't get simple shit like that right I don't have much hope for the movie. I'm kind of surprised how everyone is praising the trailer because it seems like it will be an awful movie to me.

Q: Guys, guess who would go to see this movie if it had no sound. A: A very small amount of people. Just because the movie has sound in the vacuum of space, doesn't mean it will be a bad movie. There is such a thing as artistic license. EDIT: Not directed at the 2 above posters.

If they could make that work, I think it would be really interesting.

EDIT: Not directed at the 2 above posters.[/QUOTE] Sound doesn't add anything to the movie. It doesn't feel like space when there are tons of noises you'd only expect to hear on Earth. I got this very strong feeling of watching these people in front of a green screen because it didn't sound like space at all. It completely destroys every last bit of the atmosphere of being set in space.
