Yes and that chain reaction produced that one huge wave which is why she set her clock to 90 minutes. She should have set it to 85 the second time around to account for it already passing and just to give herself a couple of minutes to spare. I literally mumbled that in the theater when she was resetting her clock.

that's one of my minor pet peeves in a lot of movies

"sun comes up around 6 am, so let's set our watches to prepare".....[character sets his watch to precisely 6am]

didn't bother me in Gravity because I've just come to expect it

Considering that the actors were in spacesuits for much of the movie and were in a weightless environment so facial expressions and body language were out of the question, dialogue was the primary method this movie needed to use to expression the emotions of their characters.

They failed in that in part due to length and in part due to bland writing. I will say that every time Matt was on screen or talking, he owned the movie. Bullock just didn't have it for me. Granted she was way down on the list of actresses sought after for this role so I won't put the blame on Cauron or the producers.
