That really looks amazing. Unfortunately the only Cuaron movie I saw was that Harry Potter one. It will launch on the 10th here in Brazil, so I'll definitely look for it then.
Also, since there's no more "buy my book" for 30 seconds, could the episodes go back to its 5-6ish minutes of glory?

Man just the footage gives me chills, if anyone else here has played Orbiter Space Flight Simulator you know the abject horror of finding yourself floating 3 feet from safety but without enough fuel to actually reach it, or overshooting by a few meters and realizing you have too much momentum to turn around and try again.
Seeing astronauts flying around like ping pong balls is a terrifying, exciting and eerily realistic prospect.

maybe one day. it looks interesting when i saw the trailers several times at the movies but never really thought much of it at the same time.
Every trailer sounds similar nowadays, or at least has the same darn sound effect. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2jUhnCU9iA]DVS BSTrD said:
OT: I'm glad to hear the movie is good and has decent action; I was afraid it would be 80 minutes of Bullock soliloquies as she floated off into space. Also, thank God Bob got rid of that "joke" advertisement for his book.
Just watched him in a good supporting role on Netflix streaming just yesterday: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2139843/?ref_=sr_3Ken_J said:
I dunno if I want to see this. Just looks like "Deep Water" but in outer space. If they live, it is going to feel like BS to me.
Every time I think of this movie I'm reminded of the awfully padded space sequence in FFVIII. I was thinking about skipping this one because I was fairly sure that it was going to be overly long sequences of talking before and after 1 big action sequence, but knowing that it goes on throughout changes my perspective a bit.
It would seem to be from Space Camp ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceCamp ).vxicepickxv said:
80 minutes of 2 people falling and it was good? I'm not convinced. I'll wait for it to air on TV.
Also, I wish Bob would pick an accent and stick with it. At least the book plug is gone.

Agreed. Every time I see some new info for this movie it seems like the writers watched Space Cowboys and some of the crazy stuff done in Kerbal Space Program and said "let's combine the two!"MinionJoe said:
Sorry, way too much of that says to me "not even the remotest possibility would this shit EVER happen!" The biggest one would have to be Bullock's character who would never pass the psych exam. NASA doesn't want that kind of emotional baggage doing critical operations in orbit. And while the most obvious, not even remotely the only thing.
Might be great for drama, but if you're interested in the reality of space exploration, you'll spend the bulk of the movie screaming obscenities at it.
Right up until the shutting of the space program NASA was using the same shuttles as in the 80's so that's accurate. The Russian satellite is BS though.Sgt. Sykes said:
Everytime I see anything involving this movie I flash back to the final episode of Family Matters.
