Saw the preview the other night while watching the NBA finals. At first I thought, wow, looks good... Then I thought, Sandra Bullock floating in space--I could stand watching that about 5 minutes.

I had the exact same reaction. I have a hard time seeing Clooney or Bullock as astronausts to begin with.
 
If this is set in more-or-less current day, with available equipment, any cast-adrift astronauts would be doomed, which would mean the movie is either a terrible downer or unrealistic.

I think you're right--it might be the casting. Would much prefer a Wahlberg / Theron combo!
 
Cuaron directed "Children of Men" which was pretty awesome, I like Clooney in most of his movies, so I suppose this could be good.

Seems to be lifted to some extent from "Marooned" (as Shread points out).

Remember the part where Jim Pruitt's suit rips and he drifts off into space?

I've been doin' it since I was a young kid and I come out grinnin',
But I'm fightin' gravity and gravity always wins.
