Are you the guy or girl astronaut?
Still amazing. People saying the CGI looks bad should have their eyes checked.
Is this movie 3D by the way?
When I saw the trailer in theaters before Pacific Rim, some guy in the row behind me yelled "Well that sucks, not gonna see that one!" Dude thought everyone was there to listen to his comedy show or something because he was yelling comments like the whole time.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing this.

This is I hesitate to go to theaters. I prefer to wait for DVDs to be able to watch them in my own controlled setting. I'm basically a continual year behind movies now.
Gravity is the type of movie that'll probably drag me to theaters, though. Some are just meant to be experienced on imax....
There are probably other, more complex shots in the movie, with less CGi on the characters, but the scene from the trailer, we see several times, moments with the characters in the suit shot from behind (so with the face not visible) which means is 100% cgi.
Now i'm sure they took Sandra Bullock and shot all that in green screen in one take, but when everything but the faces is CGi, it looks less impressive, to me, than an extended take with a real set and 200 extras walking around.
In the first instance you can theoretically cut and paste if something goes wrong, and you can adjust every little detail, since you're creating it in post production.
In the second case sure you can retouch stuff in post, but you're still much more tied to what you actually shoot, in that one take.
But maybe i'm missing something here.
I wouldn't mind some clarification.

If you actually want to know,
this is the tail end of the shot, if I'm not mistaken. The single-take starts fairly normally as we're introduced to the characters and the ship working. It then leads up to the chaos you see here.

Nice.
Are there any other directors who incorporate long single shots like Cuaron? It's seriously some masterful stuff.

Children of Men is surealy among the most impressive.
Other good examples, from the top of my head:
Russian Ark (the whole movie is one take).
Touch of Evil.
The Protector.
HardBoiled.
Carlito's Way.
Old Boy.
The Mirror.
And then of course Bela Tarr uses a lot of extended shots.

Not sure if I want to see this. The premise is scary as hell, but I have a feeling this is a high budget Buried or Open Water in space. If I'm right I'm not interested at all.
I cannot believe that people are complaining about this clip/trailer. It's stunning. 90 seconds of auteur driven, cinematic splendour.
Poor CGI? Puffy spacesuits? I'm baffled. This clip is seriously impressive. Is it aimed above some people's heads or where they expecting something else?
Heard the same thing. I hear Elysium "doesn't deliver". Make of that what you will.

Two more:
- Hitchcock's Rope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_(film)
Sure, not an effects film, of course, but I was very impressed with how well staged and acted everything was in each ~10 minute long take. Also maybe the first of its kind?
- Whedon's Serenity opening shot.

I think I remember when the camera swiftly moves to the right that was a seamless cut...The editor did a good job at hiding this. That was done in two takes but it certainly did fool me

That trailer was part of a 5 minute clip they showed at Comic-Con.
In the panel, some guy asked Cuaron how hard is it to film these long takes. "It's not hard for me at all, it's hard for everyone else that works with me."
They cut the best parts out. There's so much more to it.

The scene in Goodfellas where Henry takes Karen out on their first real date.
A scene in Kill Bill vol 1 right after the bride gets to the House of Blue Leaves.
I've never seen it, but I've read that Atonement has a very long tracking shot in it.
Open water destroyed the ocean for me
I think drowning is a contender but yeah, I agree w/ you.
I can't think of a more badass way to be honest. God I want to go to space so bad.
I think its a great way to go. This is what Michael Jackson should have gone, not some lame cardiac arrest.

I think that with drowning you do not even have the chance of thinking about the positives and negatives in your life. The things you would have done differently, or how much you always wanted to say that you love your family and wife.
You can when you slowly die in space. That alone makes it the most terrible death for me.

Being swallowed by a whale might be up there
based on that YouTube video from yesterdays thread

I mean, you could always just pop your helmet off if you wanted to make it a quick death.
