Andreas, did they give some clues on who printed the wetsuits and the extra materials on the harness?

It's an XL, but I bought it with the intentions of just shortening it in the area that's covered by the hip belt.

Well, when I say "got in contact" I mean I wrote on their facebook page and they replied. I did send them a PM they haven't responded to yet regarding the webbing which is annoying me the most right now but if you got any questions they said they're willing to answer them

They're also on Twitter

Just watched it, didn't give me the feeling of him being very lonely at all. I would prefer having the story in 2 movies or one 3 hour movie.
But the visuals were stunning! Just the story being too quick.

There is some goofing off with a screen-used helmet in this review:

That's one of the promotional give away Helmets, which looks better than some of the photos that I have seen of it on the web, you will note, since it doesn't have the head harness, it does fit right but the size looks correct.
Okay I have an update for anyone who is ordering buckles directly from AustriAlpin
I emailed them I was still looking for the orange 28mm buckle and the 45mm compact buckle with double female ends. I sent them the product numbers that are listed in their catelog (FC25B and FC90BV). I then got an invoice from them for the buckles the product numbers were FC25OVF and FC45KVV-XL. I asked why they were different and sent them a photo of the buckles that Soulinertia has posted and this was their response:
"Hi Wes,
Sorry for the confusion, the codes you sent were ones from a few years ago, I speak new code so that’s what I entered.
FC45KVV-XL = FC90BV
FC25OVF = FC25B
Thanks,
Kyla"
The only difference is that the 28mm orange buckle is now powder coated not anodized.

I got my orange anodized buckle from a seller on ebay in the UK. He might still have some.
You can also get a stainless one and color it orange yourself.

Hey all, just got back from the showing here in Sweden.
I had made an HTML version of the arm computer interface in anticipation of animations and stuff. Turns out it wasn't shown much in the movie so it'd have been easier to just make it in Photoshop. Oh well.
Here's an GIF and video (MP4) made from it. They should be able to be played from any phone.
I went with the same feel as the numbers shown on the camera HUD in the movie. That is, an update every 2 seconds or so. They also had a blinking cursor but I opted to not go for that.
I know a lot of the paddings are wrong and there's some stuff left to do. But it's a start.
Source, GIF and Video here:

Link to try the HTML in your phone: (unfortunaly a bit of errors right now)

EDIT: Almost forgot! Shoutout to my friend Erik who identified the font in minutes! It's Gridnik. It's also the same font used in the movie for the SOL titles and such.
EDIT2: Added comparison picture that I got from earlier in the thread, but cropped and rotated .

Just got back from the movie. Super cool. A few things I thought were notable:
Also, there were a few shots where you can se how the GoPro can be stowed inside the backpack, and thers where you can see how the top left corner flipped up into the arm that holds the GoPro.
The gray flight suits look alot like those blue nasa flight suits, especially because of the patch layout, but also in the proportions between the lipper pockets and the waist (in alot of the workwear ones the waist is very high and close to the pockets) Pictured:
The 3 velcro strips on the legs are just like the ones that the ISS astronauts have on their hiking pants to keep stuff in their laps. Pictured:
Did anyone else notice the watch that was built in to his suit (right wrist?) I thought it was weird that he had that along with the arm computer. Did anybody recognize the watch by chance?

First off, the movie was awesome, and I too couldn't stop looking at the details on the suit. It was a bit fast paced, could of definitely used another half hour. One choice they made really bugged me, but otherwise pretty much perfect.
That's the watch that has come up in a few links in the thread. Felt a bit forced to have it show up there, but now we know what that flap on the right wrist is for. I mean a mechanical watch in space would serve as a backup for electronic failure of the wrist computer, but still. I was hoping he would wear it inside and it would not be part of the suit, but no such luck. Will have to figure something out.

Please tell me they used an Omega Speedmaster!
