"Dano's poll about Gravity last week was about isolation, but I think it shares a close kinship with submarine movies, and The Abyss"

also, not to get on the anti-Gravity bandwagon, but I had a thought how the beginning sequence could be improved (Spoilers) (and raise those hackles!)

The way the voices are disembodied in the beginning gave me a very dreamworld sensation, such that I expected through the whole movie to come up on a final scene showing Bullock waking up from a hallucination/life-before-your-eyes/it-was-all-a-dream. I think the opening would have felt more grounded if they had shown Ed Harris in mission control, and the third astronaut's face, and maybe even a quick scene of the Chinese and Russian crews going about normal business. That would have also provided some additional sense of what was at stake during the crisis.
That probably would have given the movie more of an Apollo 13 or Armageddon feel, and less like Cuaron, but, I think it would have been better. So says I.
