This was the most beautiful track and possible the best track for a score that I've heard in a while. People who have seen it will know which scene this was from. Don't worry, no spoilers for people who haven't seen it.
Gravity is an amazing and intense/emotional film that must be experienced in Imax 3D or the biggest screen available. Alfonso Cuaron didn't disappoint and now I can easily say that he is my current favorite director. With the impressive long-takes and the beautiful cinematography and visual effects, Gravity has multiple jaw-dropping and iconic/memorable images. I'm glad Cuaron chose to use more sound (many people expected the film to be almost silent) because the score is beautiful and it makes you "feel" what you are seeing on the screen. The story/experience alone is terrifying and I was surprised Cuaron added those jump scares.
Dobby freak, I am highly considering it as my favorite movie of all time. I really have no words no describe it. I have never felt so moved or involved while watching a movie than watching Gravity.
Saw it on Imax 3D last saturday. I cried, I laughed, I jumped, even whooped. I was literally on the edge of my seat for most of the movie. The best I've seen Sandra Bullock in and my parents have been her fan for years. By the end my heart was pumping so much I finished the whole credit roll trying to calm it down. Left the theater with a huge smile on my face that hasn't faded away 'til today (exams ). My favorite movie in 2013 or even the last two years. I only regret not being convincing enough to get more people to watch it with me. Have they tried bottling Clooney's charm?
SPOILER One gripe the ending shot. the mountainscape needed just one more shot and pity our last view(?) of Sandra Bullock was an up chest where you can't see her face but after a while I didn't mind it at all it was still a very moving scene. works well with trying to stand from being 'evolved' as they said. Haven't figured out my favorite scene for now maybe the reentry to earth or the escape pod (Soyuz?) scene.
Thinking of watching it again this Friday for a more technical look. I was awed by the vastness of space I forgot to observe the long shot at the start >.<
and I know how much people here like scripts so I found this.
My friend Megan and I went to the Starbucks drive thru after the movie, and I think they were closed because no one would answer, so we kept saying into the speaker "Houston, do you copy? Houston? This is Dr. Jake, Starbucks level dropping to 0%, do you copy?"
'Gravity' Composer Steven Price On The Film's Incredible Soundtrack
This piece contains some spoilers about "Gravity," which is out in theaters now.
Steven Price doesn't appear opposite Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in Alfonso Cuaron's "Gravity," but he may as well be the film's third co-star. Price is the film's composer and his score is so vital and unique that it's hard to imagine "Gravity" working as well as it does without the 36-year-old's contributions.
"When I started out, I thought I was being booked as a music editor for a couple of weeks. That's my background, and this is such a big film I didn't think for a second I was being hired as composer," Price, who also worked as composer on Edgar Wright's recent film, "The World's End," told HuffPost Entertainment in a recent interview.
Price, of course, did get hired, in part because "Gravity" was so different from most normal productions. The film stars Bullock and Clooney as two astronauts lost in space after their shuttle is incapacitated by runaway debris. (The only other cast members in the film provide voice work.)
"With a lot of action scores, you're competing with a lot of noise," Price said. "Say there's a big explosion: the music would conventionally have a lot of Hollywood-style percussion or brass, because that's the only thing that will cut through." But because Cuaron was only interested in allowing sounds that the astronauts would hear themselves, that wasn't necessary.
"You'd hear stuff within their spacesuits," Price said. "If they touched something, you'd hear the vibration that they'd hear, but you don't hear any exterior noises. We kind of knew the music would be responsible for all the other things. I was asked to try and tonally represent things that would ordinarily be sound. You don't hear an explosion in the film, but you might hear some pulsation in the music that reflects it. The score is doing the job of traditional sound, while the sound crew was able to do an interesting job on their own."
Despite all that attention to detail, it's Price's final "Gravity" soundtrack cue, fittingly called "Gravity," that is his score's high point. The track is both an emotional release and triumphant celebration, one that Ennio Morricone might have written on his best day. As Price revealed to HuffPost Entertainment, however, it almost didn't exist.
"That cue was literally finished the night the film was finished," Price said. "We did so many different versions of it. At one stage, there might have been a song there. That theme playing there is Ryan's [the character Bullock plays] thing. It's planted, really, at the very opening of the film, and there are various treatments of it -- most of them quite abstract -- throughout. The idea of the end was a rebirth. The theme was heard there in its most obvious and fully melodic way. It kind of felt appropriate that we went for it. It was to honor what Ryan had done. It was to honor what anyone achieves when they make the decision to live their life."
Gravity has become the biggest live-action October release of all time at the worldwide box office. After taking a whopping $219.2 million in North America and £207.5 million overseas (where it has yet to open in key territories such as the UK), it now has a worldwide total of over $400 million.
Gravity has crossed the $500 million mark at the worldwide box office. The film has grossed $240.6 million in North America and $274.3 million internationally, with a global total of over $515 million. Gravity is the seventh biggest movie of 2013, and with an opening in China still to come, it is expected to reach upwards of $600 million by the end of its run.

tell me if this is alright or not
It's three years old. Haven't read it yet but I will before Friday. Maybe it has the ending of the Mardi Gras story.
Houston in the blind, Gravity must win some oscars.
