- Asimov is better I think.
Why read the last book in a trilogy first???monospaced - An 11-year-old kid who didn't know it was a trilogy, whose school library only had that book of the trilogy. That's who.i_monk

Passengers has 31% on Rotten Tomatoes, but I still want to see it (eventually) just for this scene:
- It was good enough for a space movie. I was entertained.err
- I also enjoyed it. Would'nt call it good, but way better than a 3% rating.jagara
- *30%jagara
- Caught it on the plane two weeks ago. It was alright, but kind of flat and the story structure was pretty weak.i_monk
- erm.. why would she suddenly not be able to push against water? she's not an antdetritus
- Because pushing relies on creating pressure to displace the water. Without gravity or an opposing surface, the water is free to flow around her.i_monk
- Look up videos of water experiments in microgravity. Water clings and tries to form a sphere around anything inside it (surface tension).i_monk
- Surely it's the pushing that creates the pressure to displace the water though? She's inside a greater gravitational attraction (ship) so isn't central body?detritus
- And sure, surface tension would be more of an effect in zero gravity, but still only on a micro scale, not a human one.detritus
- ..I think, anyway. I'm not going to pretend I'm a hydrodynamic physicist with a speciality in zero gravity condition or whatever.detritus
- it would sploosh all around the place and risk drowning as if many tiny 3 dimensional waves, but she'd not get glooped in a bauble and unable to free herself.detritus
- I NEED AN ANSWER HERE.detritus

Watched this last night. It's not bad at all. The time loop gives it a tight focus so it does get repetitive in places.

James Cameron’s first directed feature/short (1978)
- Ramanisky20
- had some cool bits, but it's a shame Zach Snyder never gets a good writer/director to help him out. Also, his fans are mental.PhanLo
- nice world building elements but were overshadowed by all the action sequences - will do great to help Netflix expand into new markets like chinaSlashPeckham
- bad actingApeRobot
