Actual physicist here, too. Yes, the movie isn't perfect scientifically, but a) it's extremely entertaining, b) gets people interested and listening to me talk

Actual physicist here, too. Yes, the movie isn't perfect scientifically, but a) it's extremely entertaining, b) gets people interested and listening to me talking about GR and c) saying Gravity is a better movie (in ref. to science) is imo ridiculous (imo Gravity is a pretentious "sciency" piece of drama set in space, but w/e). Just respectfully disagreeing here. :)
