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.
I loved when Interstellar made that one explosion quiet. Couldn't have been a better scene IMO.
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?
Often no soundtrack
Screw that, Firefly was awesome.
The first scene in the new Star Trek was brilliant. Crashing sound effects inside the besieged ship, cuts to the outside, silence.
BSG? Firefly?
This is what I want Every scene filmed POV in air, give me the correct sounds. Vacuum POV? That's silent
