This was the only part of the movie that totally did not work to me, because the way they. They depicted it was thatas the gravitation of the earthEarth correlated with the direction in which people fall, not as a malfuntionmalfunction of the artificial gravity. And if it iswas a random on/off malfunction, this would only cause people to bounce around a little, which would look clearly different from what was shown in the scene. If they are in free fall, the microgravity would not give rise to the dramatic forces in that scene. If the friction of the earthEarth atmosphere was supposed to cause the fluttering and rotation of the ship, they would already be incineratingincinerated. Anyways it

It seems an unlikely weakness of such an advanced vessel not to be designed in an aerodynamic fashion that avoids such dramatic fluttering. Otherwise I enjoyed the movie.
