Neil deGrasse Tyson, who we can safely say is the most famous Astrophysicist, took to twitter to rant about ALL the problems with the movie Gravity (which was released this past weekend and made over $50 million).
Now, if you weren't one of the many who saw this movie this weekend, you are NOT going to want to read his tweets. So in other words, SPOILER ALERT. You've been warned.
The film #Gravity depicts a scenario of catastrophic satellite destruction that can actually happen.

The film #Gravity should be renamed "Angular Momentum"

ARE YOU TELLING US THAT GEORGE CLOONEY DIDN'T HAVE TO FLOAT AWAY...AND DIE?
Despite his complaints, Tyson admits he did enjoy the movie.
What did you think of Gravity?My Tweets hardly ever convey opinion. Mostly perspectives on the world. But if you must know, I enjoyed #Gravity very much.
