A few physical mistakes here! Why would the different fragments travel at different speeds? Why does the tumbling capsule suddenly stabilise with the heat shield forward?
@@halberderdier8073 that's easy to answer: At 1:57 The station breaks apart thanks to debris ( i think). The fragments WILL travel at different speeds thanks to friction and the difference in mass or something like that The Capsule's center of mass (If i said that correctly) and friction will stabilize it back to it's proper position
@@halberderdier8073 because different fragments are already experiencing different resistance from the upper layers of the atmosphere. The descent vehicle was also stabilized because of this - the aerodynamic resistance turned it the right side. I see no mistakes here.
I loved this movie, saw it in the theater when it first came out. And when she emerged from the water and crawled up on shore, I immediately thought of an amphibian emerging from the water.
I had the same thought when viewing that final scene. As if to compress 390 million years of evolution into less than 1 minute of screen time, to show that the human species may have had humble beginnings, but (and here's where the "looking up" camera angle that makes her look like a 30 foot tall giant comes in) we've made it this far -- and by proving that we can put ourselves into outer space and survive reentry, we show that there are even greater achievements just over the horizon of time if we can stand tall and walk tall and not destroy ourselves first.
I got to see this in a theater, the only place to really appreciate a movie like this. For most of the movie I have never sensed so many people holding their breath and sitting so still feeling the tension of her plight.
@@wretchedmusic8782 Getting to space, that's the easy part. Coming back, that's the most dangerous mission. A tiny little capsule hurtling towards the earth faster than the speed of sound, fire is trying to engulf you, air resistance is trying to shred you, and you have to get said capsule to slow down enough so that it doesn't kill you. As Chris Hadfield described it, it's like flying a meteorite home.
The debris that caroms off the Tiangong at 3:06 is such a genius touch. If you watch at slower speed, you can see the capsule wobbles just a little. That hit must have sounded terrifying to Ryan, but I can't imagine how she could be any more terrified at that point. And equally smart not to show her reaction, which is a different kind of film (looking at you, Ron Howard). Her glimpse out the porthole at the re-entry burn is enough to carry us with her in hope and terror through every moment of this freefall. Alfonso Cuarón, cast and crew, I salute you.
They set up the moment, too. There's a near miss while the camera is in a long shot, then they show debris hitting each other so you get to see what would happen if a large chunk hits her capsule. Then a small chunk *does* hit the capsule, as you say, but only after the audience expectation is set. James Cameron does a good job of this. The mass drowning behind a watertight door near the beginning of The Abyss sets up Ed Harris' narrow escape from the exact same situation a moment later, etc.
'Terrified'? Her script consists almost entirely of screaming. The graphics in this film were impressive, but almost none of the physics was anything other than abysmal.
Sceintificly accurate? NO. Spectacular? YES. For me though, the best re-entry scene is the Apollo 13 scene. The built up to it, the emotions, and probably also the fact that it is accurate and a real life story makes it the best one for me.

Except for the special effects, Gravity was an abysmal film. Everything from the "Tag" story to the rest of the contrived script was completely forgettable. I want my $10 back.
I saw it in theaters 3 times! My only regret (and this is minimal) was seeing it for the first time on a regular theater screen instead of IMAX. The other two times I saw it in IMAX, and it was amazing! Sorry you didn't get the chance to see it in theaters, but if you noticed, they recently re-released The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King in DOLBY for 2 days not that long ago. They've done that with a lot of movies. I have a feeling at some point they'll re-release Gravity, too!
@@sebastiandomingos335 Countries use other countries designs for almost about anything. Cars, planes, tools, military weapons, just about anything.

If other countries would like to go to space besides China, US, and Russia, they too will use other countries rockets to do it.
@@bobubob5025 Gravity is not a force. gravity is an effect of curvature in spacetime. being curved, an object traveling through time gets to a denser point in the grid, which gives an illusion of attracting force. Big objects curve space fabric like our earth.

I watched this film in theater w/my mom right after it came out and the end scene (re-entry) was so intense for me that my bowels very literally turned to water and I had to leave the viewing room and find a bathroom and so missed the final scene. It wasn't until the film came out on streaming media that I was able to finally see the end of the film.

Wow! Real or not, this scene is very powerful and strong in the effects of reentry to earth from space. I guess I'm cheering her to make it back home from the near death experience that she went through. For me, watching the movie for the first time, it got me emotional because she survived all that at the end.
Beautiful but unrealistic: torsion and drag forces would have ripped open all docking lid connections, tumbling would have torn her apart, probably ripping off her head and arms. Unlikely she still could have pressed any button while tumbling. The software would not be able to recover a stable position at that time anymore and hot gases would have cut already into the pressure shell cabin. But still beautiful
This movie is super unrealistic but I don't think you are correct. 1. Airlocks open inwards, its basically impossible to open them outward without ripping the structure of the station apart and at the point where that mattered the atmosphere wasn't thick enough. 2. When the reentry vehicle was tumbling with the service module and chunk of the station attached she was pretty much right at the center of mass. So despite spinning pretty quick she wouldn't be subjected to that much force. 3. Astronauts train to be able to remain coherent and control their craft while tumbling randomly. 4. The software didn't really do anything to regain stability, a capsule shape is naturally stable in the correct position which is why everyone uses that shape, it falls into a stable position on its own.
@@odstwingman But her headphones floating peacefully in the decelerating and rotating spacecraft were inrealistic. That reminded me of the scene in "Contact" with the floating medallion near the shaking face of Jodie Foster character.
@@odstwingman It's not that the software couldn't do anything. It's that the thrusters the software controls are designed to be powerful enough to rotate the capsule itself but not the extra weight from the service and docking module attached to it but yeah the capsule itself is designed to aerodynamically orient it's shield down during re-entry.
@@MrAlexOrex Yes it is a bit unrealistic. Also she shouldn't be surrounded by burning debris while re-entering. The debris would break into tiny pieces that are easily slowed down by air resistance while the soyuz capsule she's in is one large heavy object that is harder for air resistance to slow down meaning she would zoom far ahead of all of the debris.
I still think the appropriate ending for that movie would be that she crawls on the beach after all of that and is immediately attacked and eaten by a bear.
@@deniskhaidarov9166 Tiangong was never planned to be in the same inclination as the ISS. The shuttle at the beginning of the film is Explorer, which doesn't exist, flying STS-157, which also never existed. The ISS did then and does now exist. Net realism change is 0. Tiangong did not and _now does_ exist. Therefore that is a net increase in realism
Funny thing, the CSS is planned to have a co-orbiting space telescope roughly the size of Hubble called Xuntian, to be launched in 2024. Of course it wouldn't be serviced by a crewed vehicle, instead if it needed to be serviced it will rendezvous with the CSS and the station's robotic arm will grab it and hold into it while the crew EVA over and do whatever need to be done.
@@lewismassie at the movie's release, Tiangong-1 was in orbit. It was a single-launch station, there weren't plans to upgrade it, but it did exist. But in any case, the movie shows Tiangong(-1) and the ISS as being, for all intents and purposes, rendezvoused, which isn't really excusable.
This moves me so much. She was ready to give up, only to be REBORN in fire and water. She crawls onto the shore, digs her fingers in the wet sand, and breathes 'Thank you.' My god.
2:30 So I know that that person is inside of the capsule, and is therefore protected from the thousand degree air rushing by at whatever Mach speed that dude is going, but the capsule is SPINNING, which means two things. First, the capsule would be exposing different cross-sections of itself to the atmosphere and potentially increasing resistance and temperature while doing so, and secondly, it would be exposing sections of itself that are not outfitted with a heavy-duty heat shield. Those capsules are designed for a PLANNED re-entry, which has the capsule facing its bottom down at all times, not a tumble where the whole thing is being exposed to the extreme maximum heat. So yeah that capsule would be destroyed the moment it has anything other than its bottom heat shield facing the earth
@@lucioahr You can get away with it in movies that are interesting or mostly realistic, but unfortunately I found this one boring. Which then actively encourages the watcher to try and pick out faults, even if they don't know entirely what they're talking about, to try and entertain themselves. :P
Well, it should theoretically be passively stable heat-shield first, so even if it loses all control it will stay pointed the right direction, which does seem to happen later on.
This movie clarifies how inhospitable space can be. It is a very unpredictable and dangerous environment. We should be thankful we live in a secure place like earth.
Not necessarily. Look up Soyuz 5, they had similar issues with the service module not separating and the capsule oriented the wrong way. But they survived. I hate to admit it but this reentry sequence is fairly physics-accurate.
it was best and epic in 3d.. i was late for the film but i walked in glasses on and omfg i was stunned it was during a space walk and they were looking back at earth.. felt like i was in orbit for a second
That heat shield and that parachute are what separate us from cave men, and the years of engineering it took to make that capsule work 100% of the time. Full faith in it

The shuttle at the beginning of the film is Explorer, which doesn't exist, flying STS-157, which also never existed. The ISS did then and does now exist. Net realism change is 0.
Tiangong did not and _now does_ exist. Therefore that is a net increase in realism
Funny thing, the CSS is planned to have a co-orbiting space telescope roughly the size of Hubble called Xuntian, to be launched in 2024. Of course it wouldn't be serviced by a crewed vehicle, instead if it needed to be serviced it will rendezvous with the CSS and the station's robotic arm will grab it and hold into it while the crew EVA over and do whatever need to be done.
@@lewismassie at the movie's release, Tiangong-1 was in orbit. It was a single-launch station, there weren't plans to upgrade it, but it did exist. But in any case, the movie shows Tiangong(-1) and the ISS as being, for all intents and purposes, rendezvoused, which isn't really excusable.
watched this during science class and this was the most stressful 4 minutes of my life
Love this scene! You've timed the music better than the actual film does.
This moves me so much. She was ready to give up, only to be REBORN in fire and water. She crawls onto the shore, digs her fingers in the wet sand, and breathes 'Thank you.' My god.
2:30
So I know that that person is inside of the capsule, and is therefore protected from the thousand degree air rushing by at whatever Mach speed that dude is going, but the capsule is SPINNING, which means two things. First, the capsule would be exposing different cross-sections of itself to the atmosphere and potentially increasing resistance and temperature while doing so, and secondly, it would be exposing sections of itself that are not outfitted with a heavy-duty heat shield. Those capsules are designed for a PLANNED re-entry, which has the capsule facing its bottom down at all times, not a tumble where the whole thing is being exposed to the extreme maximum heat. So yeah that capsule would be destroyed the moment it has anything other than its bottom heat shield facing the earth
Yeah, i always criticize non realistic things on space movies. Space and rocket science nerd here
@@lucioahr You can get away with it in movies that are interesting or mostly realistic, but unfortunately I found this one boring.
Which then actively encourages the watcher to try and pick out faults, even if they don't know entirely what they're talking about, to try and entertain themselves. :P
Well, it should theoretically be passively stable heat-shield first, so even if it loses all control it will stay pointed the right direction, which does seem to happen later on.
Look up Scott Manley's video about Boris Volynov's reentry on Soyuz 5. It was spinning quite similar to that and the result is kinda the same.
That Russian cosmonaut that got cooked alive, look him up, this would be her fate.
Returning to earth midst a shower of meteors.
It can't get more poetic than that.
So crazy amazing how both film scene & the music is absolutely beautifully made. Can nvr get sick of it 😍 😭
This movie clarifies how inhospitable space can be. It is a very unpredictable and dangerous environment. We should be thankful we live in a secure place like earth.
This is too beautiful
Love our planet 🌎
Oddly beautiful yet terrifying
That is legit in the end bro
Love how on one side is night and on the other it's day
And also 1:57 idk why i can't stop replaying it
Good editing, whoever put his together.
No tengo palabras para esta escena, es una obra de arte esto y me hace llorar 😢
Perfect song 🔥
I feel like spiritual re entrying to earth 3d. So much love
beutiful scene
Then I watched it on Speaker.
Now When I watch it on earphones, big difference. Yet can't be compared with the emotions while watching it 1st time.
:OO this reminds me of the iss Re-Entry in roblox space sailors!
Yes, I have is badge
I love the parts where it just shows the earth, as you try to find the burning up capsule you end up realizing how beautiful our planet is
To think that all this was filmed on gimbles in a small studio and almost nothing on screen was real !
Obra prima do cinema!!! Uma das cenas mais lindas que assisti.
What the game feels like:
What it really is: Space sailors
Next to masterpiece Space Odyssey 2001 this is one of the greatest movies ever made ❤
Makes me think about the shuttle Columbia and her crew :( rip
Perhaps the best rendition of space since Kubrick's 2001 a Space Odyssey. Everything looks real, with Physics playing a big role.
My kerbals go through stuff like this about once a week.
Even i watch before i wake in the morning everyday 👍😎😀
Sandra Bullock was phenomenal in this movie.
Good movie 😊
3:29 Uhh, is that the heat shield? Pretty sure that's meant to be attached until the parachute deploys
“Houston, the heat shield deployed too early, I think we’re going to have a pr-”**static**
Did any capsule on re entry even ever just fucking got thrown away in history?
Made in China)
(I know it's outdated, Chinese can do a very good tech)
Most beautiful sound track 👍🏻👍🏻👌👌🌷🌷❤️❤️
Had she really entered the atmosphere in this uncontrolled manner, she would have burned up long ago
Or skipped off the atmosphere
but it's Sandra Bullock one of the best paid actresses world-wide, so she was too expensive to burn.
Not necessarily. Look up Soyuz 5, they had similar issues with the service module not separating and the capsule oriented the wrong way. But they survived. I hate to admit it but this reentry sequence is fairly physics-accurate.
@@ExcaliburAero can't do that in a Shenzhou because it doesn't use a lifting reentry.
@@the18thdoctor3 ah, not familiar with stolen technology unfortunately
it was best and epic in 3d.. i was late for the film but i walked in glasses on and omfg i was stunned it was during a space walk and they were looking back at earth.. felt like i was in orbit for a second
고열로 끔찍하게 불타 죽을 지도 모르는 진입순간에 주인공이 비장한 각오로 나는 준비되었다 라며 짧은 웃음을 터트리는 장면이 기억에 남는다.
최선을 다한 사람만이 최후의 순간을 즐길 수 있다. 비록 실패해도 미련과 후회가 남지 않을 것이기에..
My face in front of your post is the same like Sandra Bullock, I must learn some Chinese!
@@carlo70no That is Korean 😂现在这个才是中文
@@stevenfan3943 Oh now I see 😁thanks!
That heat shield and that parachute are what separate us from cave men, and the years of engineering it took to make that capsule work 100% of the time. Full faith in it
When life gives you the ISS turn it into a ballistic missile and send it at a random part of the world just for Fun
Edit: Chinese space station, srry
This is the kerbal way
You joke but there's been reports of debris damage on ISS irl too.. just yesterday
@@whackowafer4765 that would be fun.
@@martinsimeonov1563 yeah it was just the Canadarm and its not like it’s gonna renter
Hmm. That reminds me of someone. Oh right. It was china
I can't stop looking at the bangs.
