I've watched it 3 times, and I don't think I've managed to get through the scene after waterworld when he's watching videos of his aging children without tearing up.

Just caught part of it a couple days ago and it was this scene. Definitely still felt it

I think the thing that blew me away the most was the water world itself. I've had all sorts of crazy ideas for strange planets, and read even more in various sci-fi sources, but that shit was just amazing.

Yeah the science nerds cant see past the science to enjoy the movie for what it was - This and Gravity are amazing movies, now they just need to turn The Expanse into a movie and i'll be stoked.

Wait what? While it obviously wasn't perfect, I thought the science was remarkably accurate for a Hollywood project dealing with such heavy physics. My only real complaints about the movie are things like the incredibly predictable space madness trope, or how he gets reunited with the daughter he thought he lost forever then decides to leave 2 minutes later.

I mean, it makes a little bit of fucked up ass sense in a way. She probably made peace with never seeing him again decades ago, and with her limited time left wanted to spend it with her real family. And as far as she's concerned, it's only been what, a couple months at most since he last saw her? It's just really fucked up and awkward though.

Xexx, did the 10 episode TV series pass you by or something?

Stellaris has a mod with this movie's soundtrack and it's absolutely perfect for the game.

you know The Expanse is on TV and pretty good, right?

People that complain about the science being inaccurate have no idea what they're talking about

The science is only about 99% accurate and that 1% rustles my jimmies.

love has no place in science

I dunno about this movie, but NDT has given gravity his seal of approval for accuracy. Fuck the haters, these two movies are great. The waterworld scene didnt get me too much as him visiting his daughter in the future who is now extremely old. Shit, i cant even finish typing what happens in that scene without getting choked up.

I feel like it's the logical conclusion after his origin story on Mars. He goes out again, and this time it's all too much for him.
