The whole thing is impossible to happen like this. Basically, the satellites are not even remotely at the same level as everything else.

Tiago Ferreira

Sure. Not my point. Literally the Chinese space station is nowhere near the same level as the ISS, etc.

HansD

No the orbits are completely different, and even if they weren't the timeline is extremely compressed. However, that I can forgive. Compromises must be made to make a movie like this. A real Kessler Syndrome event would take decades, but once started it would be unstoppable (with current tech.)

Tiago Ferreira

Sure. I'm not against the concept. I was just answering George's question in the middle of the video about how this wouldn't happen. At least, not like this.

Saw this in the cinemas when it came out. Probably the truly great 3D films.

Corrido

saw this in 3d at the cinema it was the most intense thing :)

Alfonso Cuarón is still such an underrated film marker, he elevated the Harry Potter series onto another level, this movie is also a great example of how a space movie could be done in a new and interesting way. He doesnt do really big movies rather smaller ones which is also a great thing. everything in the movie when they are in space (an not on the station) is CGI except for their heads which is crazy for 2013 to look that good

A friend and I went to this in the theater baked out of our minds-edibled and blunted. I don’t remember having a very good time, but I remember the movie quite clearly.

"Why couldn't she have used the soyuz to get home?" I think there were a couple reasons, but the biggest was the parachute had already deployed. Even if she could have gotten it down they couldn't have landed.

Jeff K.

Plot twist: At the end we find out she landed on North Sentinel Island. Cue the Curb Your Enthusiasm music, cut to credits.

Hi George, Space Nerd here. As others have said, this whole movie is "The Kessler Syndrome - The Movie" where space debris creates an ever expanding chain reaction of bits that shred everything in it's path. It's hypothetical (currently) because space is BIG and the pieces are small, however, it's happened in small scale already. Two satellites collided in 2009 and now there is a patch of debris orbiting the Earth and a few years ago China used a missile to destroy a satellite. They claimed it was because they had "lost control" but really it was a weapons demonstration to the rest of the world that China had the technology to missile orbital platforms. Traditionally, we use the last of a platforms fuel to do a de-orbit burn but if it has no engines (or we've lost control) we have to just wait for stuff to come down on it's own. In some cases this is very quick, in others they'll be up there for over a hundred years (ENVISAT). If you want a really cool visualisation of everything that is STILL in space, go to https://stuffin.space/ It's a live map of everything up there and includes lots of junk from the apollo and mercury era.

Yes! I originally watched this on my lousy TV screen, so you should miss out too! :-) Seriously, I (still) eagerly await the opportunity to see the movie in the best conditions possible.

Dove Satellite constellation (>150 satellites) orbits about 400KM/250Miles from earth, roughly the same as the ISS.

Gravity: a "Space" movie taking place almost entirely in Space, with unbelievable Space effects, and which is gradually revealed not to be about Space at all.

HansD

OK, but perhaps make a mental note to avoid blanket statements like "the whole thing is impossible to happen like this" when your answer to George should be quite a deal more nuanced. Just a friendly suggestion.

HeyHeyJK

Same. And I'm super prone to motion sickness in movies but I don't remember any issues watching this in 3D. Maybe the suspense and adrenalin overrode the dizziness. It was a great movie-going experience for sure.

HeyHeyJK

This was a great movie-going experience seeing it on a big screen in 3D. However, now anytime it comes up, all I can think of is the fantastic joke that Amy Poehler told at the opening of the Golden Globe Awards the year it was nominated. "Gravity is nominated for best picture this year. It's a film about how George Clooney would rather float away in space and die than spend another second with a woman his own age." The crowd lost it and they cut to Sandra Bullock who was laughing so hard. If you ever need a good laugh, watch any three of the Golden Globe openings the years that Amy and Tina Fey co-hosted. So incredibly funny (how could it not be with those two?). 'k, bye!

Sevnthdragon

A few things. Great reaction first and one of the first I’ve seen. I’d imagine if you have motion sickness issues the big screen wouldn’t be the move for watching but I will say this was a movie made for 3D, really made me feel like I was there especially during the ratchet sequence. Thing 1: she was hallucinating in the pod from lack of oxygen not quite dreaming. Thing 2: she likely landed in Singapore/thailand there isn’t a topography like that in America. She told she would be rescued because Houston was broadcasting in the blind and space agencies what world over monitor space as a whole not just over their individual countries only. Thing 3: she didn’t shoot the landing pod at earth because despite fuel needs and orientation for the heat shield to work, one definite need is the parachute which was already deployed when she got to the pod initially.

Dan Holmes

Watching this in theaters in IMAX opening night was life changing.

Sean Hennessy

regarding the missile shooting it down, that is NOT how they do it normally, but has been done in the past. Generally they will do a controlled decent and allow it to burn up in the atmosphere. That is the plan with the ISS coming up.

CalmDwelling

gotta do ad astra very soon :D

Inkpendude

what do you mean is not about space?

Rupert Purcat

Didn’t Putin do that a couple of weeks ago?

Happy Hanukkah

Briefly (since my original answer got eaten up): I mean that the movie is essentially about Stone's (Sandra Bullock) internal journey, not her external one. Similar to how Rambo (First Blood) is not essentially an action movie about a one man army. Of course, these movies would not have been as successful if the superficial trappings had not been as impressive. And if anyone enjoyed these movies on a purely superficial level, I am non-condescendingly happy for them; we could all use more joy.

Happy Hanukkah

And yes, I absolutely would go to Space.

Redrum Ritual

A movie taking place in Space called Gravity. lol

Anna Kyruin

Apparently Ryan's pod ends up in Lake Powell in Arizona, so not at all distant from safety.

Den Radar Ryan

Neil deGrasse Tyson went on a hilarious rant about Gravity a few times. Apparently is very scientifically inaccurate especially in regards to the events with George Clooney's character among other things making sounds, etc lol Apparently this movie is slightly worse in regards to scientific accuracy than "Armageddon" (1998) which had space shuttles flying in space like F-18s lol. I enjoyed both flicks however but was bummed by it not being accurate. "The Black Hole" (1979) is still the king of bad science movies but I liked that, too. The robot was cool lol ;)

Ruben VL

I recall being disappointed when I saw it in the cinema, as it received quite positive reviews, but the scientific inaccuracies kept pulling me out of the movie. This movie needs to be accurate imho.

Jeff I.

Well, that area looks like a brown desert and not lush green. All the greenery was added later, and it is supposed to be ambiguous exactly where. Looks like somewhere tropical to me, like the lush parts of Central/South America or the southeast Asia region.

Adam K

I don’t think that’s quite fair. Neil deGrasse Tyson said he really liked the movie and appreciated all of the scientific accuracies. He did point out the flaws (hair, tears, Clooney’s death scene, etc) but that shouldn’t take away from what it got right, and an understanding that yes, sometimes you do take liberties with facts for the sake of good movie making.

BobbyDigital

I guess its to be assumed that she landed someone in Asia, probably near or in China. But in real life, the place it was filmed was either in Arizona or Utah. With some digital effects to make it more lush and green. And I assumed those plants she was crawling through on the bearch were something that grow mainly in Asia. Not sure what plants they are just a guess. But thats what they looked like to me. Awesome freaking movie. I got this on a digital copy when it came out along with my first really nice tv. A 60" Vizio which was the #1 black friday item at Walmart that year. People stood in line for hours to get tickets for a few items. This was theain one. I overheard somebody in the gardening section on the phone saying, "So he doesn't even want it?" And set it down on a table. And then I see several other people looking at each other who also heard the conversation. So I snatched it up and found my sister in the check out line payed for it and we bounced! Lol anyway this was the first movie I watched on it. And I am still amazed at how incredible it looked then and still does now. Really enjoyed watching this it brought back some memories for sure.
