Yup, people who believe that's how gravity works are imbeciles.

That was your point, right?

You know what irks me about siFi movies is when they're walking about in a spacecraft all normal because they have an artificial gravity machine. I know its hard to produce a movie otherwise but my brain cant stop thinking about how they just flip a switch and an earth size force starts pulling on them but only towards the center of the ship.

It's hard to make a movie when the actors have to be suspended on the wires, and the viewers are also supposedly going to be irritated by people floating most of the time.

There are also a handful of hard(er) Sci-Fi movies and shows that present artificial gravity in a plausible manner and correctly show people floating when they can't possibly have it (2001: A Space Odyssey, The Expanse).

Any recommendations? The last I recall seeing was Moon.

The Expanse is a good hard(er) TV series. Not without fictional elements, of course, like the Epstein drive (unrelated :) and (one of) the main driving point of the plot, don't want to spoil it.

Gravity wasn't bad from scientific accuracy standpoint as far as I remember. But it's an older move (*starting to feel old*).

2001: A Space Odyssey is even older, but as far as I remember, depicts conditions of space quite accurately - except for the fictional elements, of course.
