Film Sound Community Exchange - "Gravity"

I thought it might be fun to run down things we enjoyed in the new movie "Gravity" starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. Be warned there are potential spoilers in the thread and I encourage people to use the "Spoiler" BBcode flag to censor the really big plot points.

For me, I was a huge fan of all of the rolled off, muffled sound work when outside the shuttles. At times I thought it sounded like basic EQ, others maybe contact mics, and sometimes even hydrophone/underwater stuff. I'm sure it could have been a bit of everything. There were a ton of moments where the music and sound design blended extremely well together as well. And how about that surround mix during the opening shot? Loved it! Overall I thought the mix was "stellar". Muhaha.
What did you guys think? I was a little bummed to see the sound team get shafted during the first few big credit roles when the movie was over. Costume design was called out right away and I think there was maybe 3-4 different costumes. Not new for sound to be missing out on the love though.
