Gravity has been released in various editions inclusive of 3-D and one of (if not the) earliest Atmos mix. The special Atmos edition was designed within a gorgeous acrylic folding case, which one should presume is now hitting six figures at auction.
Gravity, directed and purportedly written by Alfonso Cuaron and Jonas Cuaron is a fine film, but there are what I believe to be inaccuracies in the credits.

I'm linking pages which give her side of the story, and I believe her 100%.

The difference between “breach of contract” and “copyright infringement” — Tess Gerritsen - Internationally Bestselling Author
Thanks to my Gravity lawsuit, I’ve been getting a smash course in the law, and one concept that seems to generate a lot of confusion for lay people is the difference between a “breach of contract” and “copyright infringement” lawsuit. Before this happened to me, I didn’t know the difference between
