But if you watch it on HBO on a couch on your 10 foot screen, a very familiar environment solely ruins the experience that Cuaron is trying to convey.

true, but that just shows the weakness of this as an overall film

it's a cool gimmick with interesting visuals dependent on a very idiosyncratic viewing experiene

otherwise, it pretty much sucks, as the "HBO experience" shows us

It's not the point though. Gravity is more an experience than anything else. Its point is to convey the isolation, terror, and atmosphere of space. If you're in a room that you're heavily familiar with, that's just not going to happen.
