Curio: Capturing Gravity

Alexa here. Like many, I saw Gravity this weekend in all its IMAX 3D glory. I was astounded by the experience, since it is as close as I'll ever come to a spacewalk.  Yet, like Nathaniel, I was underwhelmed by what remained. As I watched Sandy's floating tears I thought, Finding Nemo was subtler in conveying this, "just keep swimming" and all that. But, wow, space, man!

With that in mind, here's a selection of alternative posters for the film...

Some of these were commissioned by ShortList Magazine and some found elsewhere, and all seek to capture the thrill of this ride.

I like them all, except for the one with the eye.

Just about ALL of these put me right back in the frame of mind I had while watching that stunning opening sequence. Pit in my stomach and everything!

That second one is so gutsy. Love it.

These are amazing. I like the Avett and the Muller ones best.

But shouldn't that John Mayer song be here somewhere?.... kidding!

Love the retro poster - the movie would have been a George Pal production.

They're all amazing, but the Tom Muller one is brilliant; good stuff.
