Going back to the asteroid one last post on this.

Just rewatched the asteroid field scene. I understand the perspective argument, but we don't have enough information to dissect the physics. You don't know how fast the MF is flying, whether the big one is stationary or moving, the direction or speed at which the smaller ones are moving, etc. We see the MF approaching "one of the big ones" through the cockpit, and then we see just how massive it is in the next shot. That's all we really need to enjoy the scene.

Could it be tweaked? Possibly by having it remain roughly the same size the whole time we see it through the cockpit. I've never had any trouble accepting it as presented, though, especially since it is only on screen for a few seconds before the exterior shot.

Yes, you have summed up things well with your post here about velocity and so fourth. And this is a slightly grey area. But you see the position of that big asteroid is straight out the window and they are flying at it like a brick wall like they are going to crash into it. And it looks nothing like the next shot.

Then in the next shot they have suddenly turned 90 degrees to fly across it?. And it looks nothing like what they were heading towards.... All of this happens too fast without any plausible passage of time. Basically it's 2 random shots put together and they are at odds with one another. They don't flow into one another.

I can still enjoy the sequence it's not killing things but I sure would like to see it feel more connected and flow better. The team have brought this sequence up quite a few notches and this is one of the problems still remain. Anyway I think it can work better somehow not sure how mind although I have not the skill to do it myself.
