The only factual error that annoys me is that when they watch the stars at night it's not real stars on a real sky. Those constellations don't exist.

I don't like the Kubrickesque sequence either, but other than that, great movie! Thumbs up.
I think I'm in the minority but the 2001 sequence really moved me.

I saw "Love & Mercy" 14 times in the cinema this summer. I looked forward to that sequence the last thirteen times. It's a head rush.

They were in the Griffith Planetarium, so technically they weren't supposed to be real stars. Doesn't explain the constellations not being real though haha.

As a star-gazer I get the problem.  We ALL have our little "things," including me.  I got really excited when I saw a film yesterday that actually showed Orion rising.  Then again, 99% of the films don't bother and we're supposed to be focused on the characters normally anyway, so I just let it go...I love this film so much, I'm not about to quibble with the artists!

To tell the truth, I said that a bit tongue in cheek... angel

Nothing beats seeing the Milky Way around Sagitarius and Scorpio in the Australian desert though. So far. Smiley

I remember reading that Neil Degrasse Tyson complained to James Cameron that the stars in the movie Titanic were all fake and not factually placed. Cameron, for a DVD re-release, not only put in the real placement of the stars, but placed them exactly where they would've been on the night the Titanic sank.

I'm a fellow stargazer here myself! I'm just starting to get into astro-photography, I may make a sandbox thread if anyone here has any interest discussing space subjects (upcoming meteor showers, eclipses, etc), as well as posting any photos.

The Sandbox would be the place, and I'm certainly interested.  Caught one of the S. Taurid Meteor Shower last Sat early morning and loved it.  Time to take the discussion elsewhere, I think.  Thanks Rab!  Maybe PM me when you put it up, if you feel like it?

Need to jump in!

I Have not been out very much for years but have been an avid stargazer as well since childhood. Great idea to bring this topic to the sandbox...something else besides the Boys to check into with our online friends. Rab...good to see you are still here.

Anyone remember the big dud Halley in 1986? Went to Texas for that....fun trip but that had to be the biggest disappointment relating to astronomy in my lifetime. But then we got Hale -Bopp so it's all good.

Back to the film....the 2001 montage was one of the best sequences of the film.

Indeed. It made me feel like I was watching a masterpiece.

I respectfully disagree. angel To me, that was epigonic and seemed forced. Good for you that you were able to enjoy it! Smiley
