Given how bright it is, at a distance of 93 MILLION miles...I believe it.

At the height where the pressure is equal to that of Earth's atmosphere, the temperature is 180 Kelvin...meaning -93 Celsius. So pretty chilly.

It was a fine movie. I'd wholeheartedly recommend it. My criterion for a 'great' movie is whether I'd want to watch it again...and again. I'm borderline. I'd certainly never watch it alone, but I'd watch it with someone else one or two more times in my life.
One key reason I'm not jumping to call it great is that the metaverse stuff has worn out its welcome, in 20 years it will be seen as a movie fad / temporary subgenre.

Reply to comment by dkf295 in ELI5 why is jury duty a requirement? by [deleted]
It's not "taking days or weeks off" from life. You said it yourself, it's a pain in the ass with laughable compensation (that is taxed!) No one has the "means or desire" to miss their regular life for that.
They need to make jury duty worth everyone's time. The way it is, clever but unscrupulous people will finagle out of jury duty because it pays shit and their jobs don't have to pay them for the lost time.
So if they want a demographic of the overall population, they need to entice everyone to actually want to do it. Make the process more efficient, require employers to pay regular wages, etc.
