Just once I’d like to see a movie mock this “asteroid field” trope. Instead of arriving in this area with huge boulders everywhere that you had to juke and swerve around, have them arrive in the asteroid field and see… nothing. Maybe one rock way off in the distance. Maybe have the ship get hit by a grain of sand.
Captain: I told you to take us to the Main Asteroid Belt!
Navigator: I did, that’s where we are!
Captain: But, I thought…
Navigator: How long have you been a spaceship captain? Did you think it was some kind of quarry? Asteroid belts are mostly empty space!
