No, it looks more like some sort of collision between Shuttle, Hubble
(look quick, its there), a Soyuz, and the International Space Station.

Not really sure what to make of that. Somehow, they all go kablooey at
the same time in that promo. And they somehow do this without turning
the nearby spacewalkers's spacesuits into Swiss cheese. And somehow
everything but the spacewalking astronauts deorbits and burns up (look
quick, we see that too) in the atmosphere, from "372 miles up" before
the astronaut's air supply runs out (something like 10 hours).

In other words, about as realistic as "Apollo 18" or "Armageddon".

Aside from Hubble, which just can't be anywhere near there, ever, the
only explanation for all this is some sort of terrorist attack. Maybe
a few bombs smuggled onto the Shuttle and Station? Ridiculous, yes,
but at least only implausible, and not totally impossible.

Right, and gravity is not going to bring most of it down for several
months.

There is no failsafe recovery from impacting natural or artificial
debris of anything over a cm3. Even as little as a mm3 could
terminate ISS if it hits a critical component. So, what's your point?

Well ISS is very vulernable to debris impact, Plus it looks like
interesting movie

This movie looks like something out of your twisted imagination. On top
of that, it suspends the laws of physics as part of its cinematic
license, which I absolutely hate in a movie that appears to reflect
reality.

I got so ticked when I watched the trailer (after lunch on Friday) that
my coworkers wondered what all the swearing was about. I certainly
won't pay to see this movie.

Maybe, but this movie sure doesn't show your ordinary debris impact.
To do all that destruction, it would have to be something the size of
Hubble smashing into both the Shuttle (which wasn't docked) and the
Station. Even the Progress collision, which was pretty violent, only
caused a relatively small leak on Mir, which was promptly sealed off.
If you want to see an MMOD impact in the movies, watch "Mission to
Mars", which actually handled it pretty well (the rest of the movie
stinks.)

Plus it looks like

It actually looks like that "Star Trek: Voyager" episode where Tom
Paris and B'Ellana Torres were marooned outside in their spacesuits
after their Shuttlecraft exploded. I think "Futurama" did it, too,
with Fry and Leela.

But really, this is just "Open Water" in space.
