The trailer was cartoonish to me.
I've obsessed on shuttle missions my whole life since glide tests.
MMU was being flown around at a very silly rate. Anyone remember the MMU and how "fast" it moved relative to the shuttle?
Yeah. Slooooooooooooooow. Not that it was used much.
I don't think an astronaut could even keep in control trying to fly an MMU like that.
It all looks authentic as far as appearances, but the motions and frantic camera angles scream
standard issue BS from Hollywood by people that don't understand how things work in space.
I'm just too familiar to enjoy things sometimes. Armageddon was one dopey thing after another for instance.
Though if it makes people want to support NASA great, but I can't choke down this stuff sometimes.
There was a Battlestar Galactica Episode around this same premise... I wonder how much of it was ripped off for this movie?
I'll go see this one. Children of Men was amazing.
I'm also pretty sure of a Star Trek Voyager episode that shares a similar plotline.
After that "Detached" trailer in July, I have been avoiding all trailers to this film. And I've to wait for an additional week till October 11 for its release here.
Some of the reasons and excuses people have given online not to watch this film seems genuine, sad and at times hilarious to me.
Many will avoid this film and then will continue to complain about the lack of original films in Hollywood. Again, this concept isn't original, but it's an original sci-fi film not based on existing properties.
I loved Children of Men and I will give Alfonso Cuaron a chance any day.

She also finds a floating mailbox while out in space that allows her to talk to Keanu Reeves through some sort of postal time warp.

Seriously though, while it's visually cool and all, which I'll agree with, I have no idea what other purpose for the story will be. They've practically showed the entire plot of the film in one trailer. It's not hard to know what happens at the end of the film. It's based off of real world technology, and unfortunately, it's not very simple or cost effective for NASA to send up a vehicle, like a shuttle, to search the vast open space.....Yea...
