nice...

that tag line always peaved me off, strangly no one was bothered about my rants on how sound doesn't travel in vacuum. other space films ie starwars, wouldn't sound as good either

# the original tag line isn't wrong though
kinda enhances the isolation.

I always liked the silent bits of 2001 too.

I've never got this argument about no sound in space for sci-fi movies, Star Trek etc.

The items are producing sound, they just don't carry in a vacuum.

You then have to realise... you the viewer are not sitting in space. There is no camera there for you to hear from.

Why people would argue that they can't hear sound from somewhere they're not actually situated is... odd...

# I don't think so.
One can hear. It's just that there's nothing to hear.

# It's a moot point because they can hear you if you're wearing a spacesuit and a communication device,
and if you're in a vacuum without a spacesuit you'd be dead anyway.
