I read most of the review, even despite his obvious hate for the movie I
didn't want to hear about the end because I may still see it. :)

Anyway, I must admit I was confused about something he called a usual error.
I understand the sound in space, but I don't understand seeing stars out of
windows...... I would appreciate it if one our more astronomically trained
members might help with that. Is he saying you can't see stars in space or
what am I missing?

Thanks

Tom
