Reply to comment by WakkaBomb in Why do movies set in space always show the people moving so slow? by SireBlew

Guys no -- they are chilling inside of the spaceship. "Hey Mike, catch this wrench you need for whatever thing you are tightening". Guys throws in slow motion other guy reaches and grabs in slow motion.

Is it just for dramatic cinematography?

Imagine hurtling a wrench at normal throwing speed in 0G and then think about how dumb it would be to actually do in a spaceship

They throw it slow because regardless of speed. It's going to make it to its target.

Sure. There are slow motion practical effects that help with dramatic cinematography but I mean...

Here watch this spacewalk there are very practical reasons why they don't move very fast. #1 being safety.

Yes, its to indicate theres a difference in the usual environment.

Its just a thing, like turning a steering wheel when in a car driving straight.
