There's good reason they forego realism in this aspect. Imagine watching a scifi movie where every scene where the camera is in vacuum is dead quiet.

Screw that, Firefly was awesome.

The Expanse has 6 seasons worth of quiet vacuum. The battle scenes are epic and scientifically accurate.

The show is So accurate that they have weird scenes like this

Huh, I should rewatch it. I'm not sure I even noticed that these scenes are quiet. Maybe there's a sound track but no sounds of explosions etc?

[–] Evotech@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Often no soundtrack

The noise you do get is from inside the ships when they are hit. The first 3 episodes are slog but once someone looses their head while in the brig, that when the series takes off.

This is what I want Every scene filmed POV in air, give me the correct sounds. Vacuum POV? That's silent

The first scene in the new Star Trek was brilliant. Crashing sound effects inside the besieged ship, cuts to the outside, silence.

I loved when Interstellar made that one explosion quiet. Couldn't have been a better scene IMO.
