Cool Videos: This alternate opening to Gravity explains everything

By Alex Maidy

Posted 12 years ago

While everyone has probably seen GRAVITY at this point and made their decision on the film, along comes a video like this and completely changes what you knew about the movie. This video, which bills itself as an alternate opening scene to the award-winning Alfonso Cuaron film, is actually a well constructed joke featuring the one and only Christopher Reeve.

I could say more, but it uses some existing SUPERMAN footage mixed with GRAVITY to help explain not only how Sandra Bullock could have survived her ordeal but also what may have caused it. I could not help but laugh watching this clip because it all makes perfect sense, if not a much, much shorter movie.
