Neil DeGrasse Tyson wanted a bit more realism in Gravity, it seems:
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I had to roll my eyes at some of that. I can't tell whether he's joking around or whether he actually did not like the movie.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
and only one of those things would have affected the plot.

And Cuarón fully admits the scientific inaccuracies. It's kind of glaring, and in the moment, I didn't think about it at all, but I think he earned a little sacrificing of scientific realism.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I think he was probably genuinely annoyed by what he sees are obvious mistakes in a movie being sung to the high heavens for it's scientific accuracy. And since when does 7 tweets count as "going ballistic"?? To paraphrase the comments, Chill out, Business Insider, it's just a guy who didn't like a movie!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
well, I'm not sure even sure that he didn't like the movie. he wanted more realism, but he may have liked the movie too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Okay, so it wasn't totally scientifically accurate. It still did a damn good job of it, better than most "science" fiction movies.
He's right about Matt drifting away from Stone, though. She should have been able to yank him to her with minimal effort. When I saw it, I assumed they were being flung outward by the rotation of whatever they were hooked to, but I may have been wrong.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Saw Gravity. Glad I saw it first in 2D, as I did have some problems with motion sickness. I may see it again in 3D IMAX, we'll see. J and I both really enjoyed it. Fantastically immersive and tense.

My Tweets hardly ever convey opinion. Mostly perspectives on the world. But if you must know, I enjoyed #Gravity very much.
So that settles that question.

yeah, I had a feeling he liked it.
