One thing the movie “Gravity” got right: when things exploded, they did so silently, unless Sandra Bullocks character was attached to it so that the sound could pass through her space suit. If her character couldn’t hear it, the audience couldn’t hear it. Of course, there was the musical score, which of course her character probably couldn’t hear (unless you assume that the stress of the situation has driven her nuts and now she has her own soundtrack playing in her head).

In February, a new Blu Ray of the film will be released that will have an audio track *without* the musical score. Instead there’ll be long patches of little more than Bullock’s character breathing and bumping around in her suit. I suspect that might get old after a while, but it might also be an interesting experience.
