The three-dimensional cinematography is phenomenal in this one! They do not skimp on utilizing the whole environment to their benefit. Birdman and 1917 also have excellent long takes and fluid camera shots.

Definitely and Amazing Movie. I Love this movie, it reminds me of the best times in my life. Absolutely Amazing Reaction Guys . 🙌👏🤝🙏

Considering the IMMENSE quantity of space junk orbiting earth, increasing daily, I am genuinely amazed there has not been a major catastrophe on the ISS from any number of scenarios involving collisions that could propel things in their path with little warning.

Very good film on TV at home but as a cinema experience on a huge screen in 3D it is one of the best you ever get.

MY TIME HAS COME. Hello, I actually recently graduated law school with a concentration in Air and Space Law so I can answer George's question! Let's do this. Alright, so the legal implications under international space law would be significant. Russia, as the launching state of the satellite, would be held accountable under the Outer Space Treaty and the Liability Convention. According to these treaties, states are responsible for their national activities in outer space, whether carried out by governmental or non-governmental entities, and are liable for damage caused by their space objects. The immediate step would involve attributing the source of the debris to Russia and determining whether the destruction of their satellite was intentional (e.g., an anti-satellite weapon test) or accidental. In either case, Russia would face claims for damages from affected states. The Liability Convention specifies that states are liable for damage caused by their space objects, and in this scenario, it would cover damage to the fictional Space Shuttle Explorer and potentially to other satellites and space assets. This could lead to diplomatic claims or even formal arbitration if the parties involved cannot agree on compensation. Also, the Rescue Agreement would also come into play, as astronauts are considered "envoys of mankind." Russia, along with other capable states, would be obligated to assist in the rescue or recovery of surviving astronauts. This could involve international coordination to track debris, assess re-entry paths, and deploy resources to assist survivors. Incredible. It is not often I get to use my education for reaction channels hahahah. Hope you enjoyed the explanation.

I liked this movie and it was amazing on IMAX, but the "floating away" scene everyone is mentioning is a blatant, BLANTANT, example of bad writing and... no one admits it. People will complain and rage against "bad writing" all the friggin time including in instances where it isn't (especially those... the sole criteria for such usually is "I don't like it!") but here is SO BAD AND FORCED that it ruins a perfectly good movie otherwise.

18:30 - it was AMAZING watching this in IMAX!

Being a science nerd, this is one of the scariest movies I've ever seen. Just an anxiety and thought of it happening. It's very scientifically accurate as far as the disaster. I forget the name of it but there's actually a name for that situation where it would pretty much cause a chain reaction and every rotation around it would hit and cause more and more debris which would cause more to bring until it's just an orbiting storm of chaos. All the satellites would be destroyed. It's very important that we track everything in the sky, there's over $8,000 satellites in orbit, 5000 which are American. And it all needs to be tracked along with space trash and natural rocks that get pulled into orbit. That's one of the duties of the space force is to prevent stuff like this from happening. That being said the stage set is not accurate at all, you cannot see the other space station from where they were at. Much less traveled to it. There's a couple other inaccuracies like that that were presented just to make the movie work but the idea in science behind the situation and such as well done and accurate Also 12:32 wouldn't have happened as there's nothing pulling him away. And him talking would cause extra oxygen usage by her but he was trying to keep her focused because he knew that CO2 was getting to her. Him talking is probably what saved her. And you mentioned the 1% auction lasting a long time, that's how much was in the air tank. After it went out he still had the oxygen in this suit but there is no additional oxygen being added

Where does George's dad live??

Imagine watching this in a theater. With 3D goggles. I heard the random guy on the satellite phone suddenly speak Greenlandic, and I cried in the theater. F u c k T r u m p.

I suppose you could watch Pay It Forward (2000) for a non-evil role by Spacey.

Ive always enjoyed how angry this movie makes the annoying nerd crowd. Yeah, its not realistic, who gives a fuck

Watching this in theaters in 3D was amazing!

You should watch Chappie

I saw this in the Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles when I was on holiday there. I don't think I've ever felt so alive while watching a movie. A truly brilliant experience.

If you like space adventures then there are two movies that you should reacting to: "Life"(2017) and "Paradox Cloverfield"(2018) 😉

It certainly is possible to knock out a satellite with a ground based missile - indeed it has already been done. Fortunately the debris created was in a different orbit to everything else so it didn't set off a cascade, but yeah the risk iof that happening is certainly real.

It's NOT realistic. Of course, not "Armageddon" level, but still a lot of fictional elements. "Apollo 13" is still the most realistic movie about astronauts. And even it has some changes from real events.

I remembered China shooting down a satellite and googled it. Turns out that the following countries have shot down satellites: China, India, Russia, USA. So yeah, it is extremely irresponsible but it does happen. Even though most of the bits are minuscule they are going extremely fast so they can quite easily zip right through space stations etc leaving only a tiny hole that slowly leaks air. This has happened on the ISS. bigger bits going at that speed could cause some pretty spectacular explosions. Similar phenomena are experienced outside Earth's magnetosphere, where astronauts reported seeing unexplained flashes. These were determined to be charged particles or dust motes shooting right through their brain and/or eyes.

Historically, Spam is a big deal in Hawaii.

The inciting incident is definitely real. Kessler syndrome is the effect of a collision or deliberate destruction of a satellite which causes a cascade of damage as the debris field expands and damages more satellites. The debris travels at orbital velocities, measured in kilometers per second, so even a small object could impact with the energy equivalent of a stick of dynamite. A small number of strikes on satellites in a hypothetical war could shut Earth out of access to space for years.

actually 'the martian' was greenlit because of 'gravity's' success. it had a huge first weekend.

It's a different kind of experience but I highly recommend Aniara (2018) for more lost in space existentialism.

Typically governments will use the last power a satellite has to direct it to crash into the ocean, not launch a missile. But often times -- and especially with early satellite use for decades -- they were just left to decay in orbit with the assumption that they'll eventually be destroyed by atmospheric friction as they descent. By international treaty there are no space-born weapons. However, destroying a satellite with a missile is not really about he satellite disposal. It's a subtle way of declaring to the world that you have the ability to shoot down ANY satellite, i.e., an enemy's. This has been done by many countries -- including Russia. Space experts warn that we have so much debris and satellite clutter in orbit that a catastrophic series of collisions is an increasingly likely possibility. This is so much the case that there is concern that our ability to launch into space risks being prohibited, trapping us on Earth, if we don't reel in our space clutter soon.

Funny fact, most of the spam made in the US is shipped to Hawaii 😊

You keep telling me to subscribe, so I unsubscribe and resubscribe. Make up your mind!

there is a clip to this movie that shows who she was talking to in space before she passed out its called (Aningaaq)

At that point you wouldn’t care about civilization, you’d just want Earth.

Where did she land? You saw the earth during reentry! She was passing Australia and New Guinea heading towards China where the parachute opened. She also saw rounded mountains, like seen in China, and I think she walked out of plants like a rice pattie! China!

The reason she did not land the Soyuz was because she had NO PARACHUTES! It had sprung loose and fouling the space station if you remember. Taking the Soyuz to Earth would have resulted in impacting the ground at 5000 mph!

Regarding him talking to her so much as she tries to get to the airlock -- he's keeping her calm by helping her having something other than her panic to focus on. Yes, she uses up air by talking. But by talking calmly he prevents her from hyperventilating and thus using her air supply even faster. If she panics and dies before even reaching the air lock his sacrifice is for nothing. This is a common technique in crisis situations. No matter what resources you're running low on, your ability to think clearly and calmly is always your most critical resource as it maximizes your capacity to make use of all others.

Only clip you need to watch about this movie: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o4G8Z3aii8pgl5osi=TTGgbyqFmAd6kT9K

"I wonder why?" Because he has so freaking many lol

22:43 A short sister film titled "Aningaaq" can be found online - it shows you what was happening on the other side of this conversation.

It's quite unrealistic and the story is meh, but Gravity is by far the most awesome movie in 3D ever made

One of thee, if not the number obe visually stunning movies I've ever seen. Was so blown away watching it in 3D IMAX I had to see it to more times. Everyone around me eyes were wide open, mouths agasp watching it. Once the shit hit the fan it was a wild ride to the end, so emotional! Not sure people's heart would make it if it was longer.... ❤❤❤

The only option is to move into the next, I grew up with these and loved it. Now in my 30s its pure nostalgia, the first 5 are legit. 3 is out of order but still a fun watch. I stopped after 6 but that one was pretty ridiculous, 7 would be very sad (I've seen the ending) and anything after I don't think I'd watch.

Simone was f'n going THROUGH it at 21:10. 🫠

I saw Gravity in the movie theater…insane experience!! Since everything was so dark and the screen so big, you felt like you were there, freaky, nauseating, yet awesome too!

Kinetic debris ruining earth orbit catastrophe is an actual possibility known as a “Kessler disaster “ where everything in orbit becomes a shotgun blast of debris until it reenters the atmosphere and clears earth orbit. That takes years!

Simone les 60 seconds in: "I know he has those little thruster things to move around but it makes me so nervous that he's just floating around." Me: [Looks around nervously] Uhhhh.....

3:50 cops hate firefighters because firefighters are actually useful members of society

This movie should be seen in an IMAX hemispherical screen theater!

Russia, China and the US have all shot satellites with missiles as anti-satellite tests. Interestingly the US missile was launched from a F-15 fighter. Dunno why they mentioned 600km in the opening title, the ISS is at 400km. Space junk is a very real problem, a removal test has even been test shooting a net out to capture larger debris (a cool vid)

29:35 "There's a ping pong paddle?" "That's how you know it is a Chinese station." People who don't like George can suck it. Comments like this is what make this channel awesome.

Well, for realism. Kessler Syndrome (space debris creating a chain reaction) is a real concern. But the jet packs NASA has used in the past have nowhere near the capacity to do the movement they did, and Hubble and the ISS are on pretty different orbits so transiting from one to the other is also unrealistic. But otherwise it is a pretty cool movie. It was freaky to watch in theaters.

I saw this is a theatre and it was very spectacular BUT then so was Avatar, Star Wars and the Wizard of Oz. It does not make it accurate. The “reality” is terrible, the orbital mechanics are pure fantasy and none of the spacecraft depicted can do what is shown. And in particular a Kessler syndrome does not operate this way. Which means if we are briefing the real thing outside of the space community (e.g. to politicians) we first have to undo the impression based on this flim, before explaining what the real problem is and how we can manage it. Which is a ???ing nuisance! And in part explains why more was spent making and marketing this film than on actually doing something in the real world about the threat it poses to space operations.

Yeah, as another comment mentions, the underlying theme of this movie is about loss. It's a meditation on grief, as she feels untethered after the death of her daughter, and how the desperation of trying to "hold onto something" literally and figuratively as she drifts through the chasm and emptiness of space reflects how someone might feel at the loss of their child.

george, its called kessler syndrome when debris chain-reacts. its both real and a bit overblown at the same time (sort of). we dont have enough satellites to cause it at the moment. and if we did it would only last around 100 years before nearly all of it came back down to earth. there is a thing where stuff inbetween the earth and the moon eventually get pushed into the earth. that being said i think the indian space program proved they could hit a satellite with a missile last and the space community was a bit narky with them for it. the intercept came from beneath exacerbating where the debris ended up. also the ISS has had to change its orbit to avoid a possible collision.
