Pretty Much Wetting My Pants Over This One

That Sandra Bullock, what an actor. Though I think hearing her breath heavily and wince like that they whole movie I might go off my own nut. But it looks like a nail biter doesn't it? And how can you miss with George Clooney involved. Now THAT'S a movie star.

I can`t watch that. I just don't see that ending well!

You grab a piece of shielding tiles and ride the wave through the atmosphere then you pull your shute or flight wings and glide back to earth, crashing into boxes the people on Earth have set up.

Don't you know nuttin'?

Kal said...

You are right. George Clooney is too young to die.

Why Sandra Bullock is a major movie star is beyond me.

I never heard of this flick being worked on..!?!

Looks pretty cool, actually.

The only tertiary effect I can see on the human race is the pharmaceutical industry producing enough anti-depression meds for the entire female population if Clooney bites the dust.

You HAVE to look at residual effects, people.

I LOVE Soyuz spacecraft design.

Kal said...

There is so much wrong with you. Okay. Let me dump you in one of those Soyuz toilets and we'll just watch you crash land is Khazikstan.

Thats a terrifying situation for sure. Sort of like "Open Water" without the sharks. Though I do think Sandra Bullock sounds a bit too "panicky" in this trailer. Sure this is a dangerous situation, but I want to believe that astronauts would have undergone some kind of training exercise for what to do if you are separated from your craft.

Its a bit of a harsh divide when it comes to space horror movies. You want to capture vast and frightening possibilities of its sheer emptiness, yet astronauts are often the people we see going up there, and they're trained to deal with it. I'm sure this is just for the trailer and that the vast expanse of the big screen will make it all the more terrifying.

It will take an unbelievable last minute save and that will ruin the story. There is no scenario I can imagine where these two survive. They are just on borrowed time.

Kal said...

And I assumed that the Russian escape pod is also destroyed or beyond their reach.

david_b said...

Oh, Caaaaaaal, don't hate on folks.

It's alright. I just enjoy the beauty of Soviet spacecraft and technology.

Besides, it looks like a fun movie.

david_b said...

Oh, and by the way, I've spend FAR MORE TIME in the Middle East than you ever will, sir.

'...I'm just sayin'....'

Kal said...

That's not something to brag about. The Middle East is a shithole.

Soviet spacecraft had one moment of style and that was SPUTNIK. Since then it's all junk. It's like when you mix all your Legos together and makes something that is suppose to support life. Safety of the pilot occupant always seems the last concideration. Why the landing on land?? What is wrong with a water landing??

Mike D. said...

Excuse me for being blunt but... HOLY FUCK that looks intense!!!

david_b said...

"And, just where did the Canadian spacecraft land, Uncle Cal..?"



You're always open yourself up, aren't you..?

Ah, visiting the Cave always brightens our day. Hope all is well.

Kal said...

We had no choice...it's the only way back down to Earth since the American's punked out and the Chinese got all secretive. You think I like Chris Hatfield returning to Earth after keeping the planet safe from alien invaders in a piece of Soviet Junk and landing in some Kazak Farmer's shithole field...well then you don't know me very well.
