Your mom floats in space.

there is gravity in space


NUKE IT FROM ORBIT

He just said float, which oil does indeed do in water.

And I say levitate, which it can in fact do. BAHAHAHA

So I saw the movie today


and


I thought the Colonel was the best, most awesome, and completely badass person ever.

also, the thin atmosphere was pretty cool

other than that is was okay

Yeah, it pretty much kicked serious ace!

I'm not sure if it was thin, so much as toxic (Ironic, on such a pristine planet, no?).
I DEFINITELY recall seeing air rush INTO the control room when the Colonel ripped open the door to fire all of his AR ammo and then empty his handgun into the Scorpion... without a rebreather.

oh

I suppose it could have been rushing in, but the low gravity made me think it would have been thin, and I couldn't really tell which way the air was moving.

also, Jake was hyperventilating when he couldn't get a mask...

And if the air was toxic, then Jake should have died and his survival was a load of bullshit

they can survive for about a minute or two, after four they are dead.



Said in the beginning.

Think of it this way.
If the air is 95% nitrogen, then you won't be able to breathe it.
But if you put on a rebreather after two minutes, you should be fine. REALLY lightheaded, minus a few brain cells, but just fine.

So, the air couldn't have been toxic, so much as 'unbreathable'.

probably same if you put one of there creatures on our world.

Yeah.

Yup.

But how did he get a fire going w/o oxygen? And how come the colonel survived past four minutes?

Because he's simply awesome

Could be some other gas that's toxic, or even too MUCH oxygen (I doubt that other part...)

And the Colonel WASN'T shooting more than 4 minutes.

They didn't say the planet was devoid of oxygen, just that the mix of gasses could not support human life for an extended time.



The Colonel was never without oxygen for more than at LEAST a minute or less.



He shot at the Helicopter thing for maybe a minute, and when he was in the Mech Suit he was breathing air for maybe seven or eight seconds.

Oxygen isnt the only thing that can burn... I hope you all know this by now

I think there was oxygen simply because it is easier for everything to make sense that way

Not every aspect of the movie has to make sense. You have to sacrifice some understanding for any movie to be good. Take Star Trek for example. When they spit out technical mumbo jumbo, you don't understand it, but you still enjoy the movie.

I know that.... I think

what I want to say is, I liked that pandora didn't have a perfect, earth-like atmosphere but it also wasn't some toxic death-cocktail either

We in the Trek Circle call it technobabble.

I'll take my mutliphasic inertial dampers any day.

IDK. I try to avoid technobabble as much as possible...
At the very least, I try to use scientific terms correctly. So, no polycomposites or alloys that can withstand 10000 degrees without melting.

Technobabble is fine, so long as it isn't Retarded and every sentence. I.E. Voyager.

When it gets in the way of the story, then it's a problem.

The Colonel was holding his breath.
