        .@neiltyson clearly didn't like #Gravity - a movie breaking box office records. Yet he complains about reaching the public about space #Odd

        @neiltyson Probably because we don't get enough of them. I'll take more zero-G films, please.

        @neiltyson "Why be impressed with Einstein or Newton when Copernicus had it down pat" - silly rhetorical ploy :)

        @neiltyson Because this one is thrilling, which 2001, while still a great film in its own right, is not.

        @neiltyson How would a #SharkNado fare in zero #Gravity? Is this addressed in the movie?

        @neiltyson because it's one of the best movies of the last decade maybe? An amazing cinematic experience.

        .@neiltyson Because movie technology has impressively improved in 45 years. Keep knocking "Gravity" if you'd rather people worship "Avatar."

        @neiltyson I vote the drama, tension, emotion, and long takes. Especially the first two long takes.

        @neiltyson @EwaldOthmar We should be glad that Sci-Fi is trying to get more of the science right, at least. Though some oops moments occur.
