Why is it in Sci fi films, they have sounds of things in space?!
Question: When in fact, space is a vaccuum, and nothing can be heard?
Does it annoy anyone else?

Does it annoy anyone else?
yes. to the point my friends don't allow me to go to theaters to see any movie doing with space.
it seriously urks me
because it lacks drama.
Some Shows like Firefly and Serenity play with silence in space, but im not sure if its consistant throughout the episodes.
Because sci-fi writers generally aren't scientists - and explosions are so much more impressive with sound.
The only one I can think of without sound in space is 2001.
Yes it is annoying - but I understand why they do it.
also there are no explosions in space - again 2001 is the only scifi movie to get his right, and yes it does annoy me
Moviemaking has to go for drama and for what much of the public expects~sound and explosions.
Gene Roddenberry said that "Star Trek" started out with silence, from the opening sequence into the episode. But, when they ran the title shot, it simply didn't "work". They knew it didn't make sense to have sound or even for the set to rock as it did. But, for the same of drama, they had to cave in to the illogicial thing to do.
No, I don't let it annoy me. We make concessions in many ways. There is no music and/or songs playing in everyday life, but we accept musical scores and songtracks. Movies have always had to allow for certain elements.
Why not be more upset by rapidfire births in improbable settings? It's rare for any film to show a woman in labor for days, as they are in life. That's just one of the many things I could list.
I've been a science fiction fan practically from birth because my father loved this genre. He never nitpicked, and neither do I. If there was no sound in a sci fi film, I suppose they could fill in with music. But, music in a film is as artificial as sound in space. Hey! Even Kubrick used a soundtrack! If he's such a purist, why did he do that?
because a space battle on the movie screen would be really boring without sound.
DUH
The same reason they show the stars whenever people are in space. Most people don't know that you cant really see them (or in this case hear) and it would be definitely too weird to translate for most.
Even myself.
I mean if i didn't hear the engines at the end of that under shot of the Imperial cruiser in the beginning of Star Wars, it really would have killed the scene.
Don't be so anal.
Movies are all about the suspension of disbelief.
I mean really, do you think that sending multiple nuclear bombs into the sun , like theyu do in Sunshine, would reignite it at all?
Come oooonnn!
would you really want to watch STar Wars, where they have the massive battles in space with no sound, Just watch Serenity, it is really the only movie I can think of that has no sound in ths space scenes
