I thought it was pretty clear that "solve gravity" was a phrase that was intended to describe the logistical problem of getting an entire civilization free of Earth's gravitational pull. They needed to "solve gravity" for Plan A to work.

The massive scale of the Star War's ships are being put into perspective.

May not be a popular choice, but I always liked the updated x-wing flyby from "New Hope":

This has always been one of my favourite shots. Right before Serenity is to be captured, they burst out of space with an army of Reavers hot on the trail.

I disagree. Spaceballs:

No contest:

Boy, did it ever. I kept asking myself if they hired a narcoleptic drunk organist who kept face-planting on the keyboard during the scoring sessions.

I asked what the hell were Jessica Chastain, Casey Affleck, Michael Caine and Topher Grace were doing there.

Absolutely and positively loved Hans Zimmers use of the pipe organ. Hearing those deep bass pedals in IMAX while onlooking a black hole and vast landscape is incredibly powerful.

The force is not fucking benevolent.

Star Wars Episode VIII: 5 MORE MINUTES

"Solving gravity" refers to solving the gravity well problem. It takes a ton of energy to get stuff from Earth into space. Given they are trying to launch an entire orbital habitat from earth into space (and all those people!), it makes a lot of sense that they would try to find a way to feasibly do this with the…

Somehow, I don't think anyone will ever plausibly put "subtle", "under-stated" and "Hans Zimmer" in the same sentence. I'm sure he's a fine human being, but I'll never forgive him for the interminable Inception flatulent sea monster synth-horns. Blaaaaarp, blaaaarp... BLAAAARP fucking BLAAAAAARP.

The score was great! I loved all the crashing and booming.

Oh yeah. Exactly right. This is the most frustrating part of the movie. However it's SOOOOOO pretty. You gotta see it, just lower lower lower expectations.

What I get from this is great spectacle, poorly written in really silly ways, which is what I have been saying about Nolan for 6 years.

There've been rumors of a character collecting Sith artifacts forever, now. I have to imagine if Luke wanted Vader's helmet he wouldn't have waited 30 years to get it - seems to me like a guy who finally found a thing he'd been looking for.

I Am Legend would have been such a better movie had they not gone with the albino CGI Gumby's running around. Practical effects (at least for the close ups) would have been more realistic and personal. It's just one of the reasons the film starts out so well but then get's progressively worse.
