...Sorry, but no. Couldn't they have used an old arcade that actually could be turned into an interesting story like Centipede or Galaga?

Act I: Ship turns in circles
Act II: Ship destroys some asteroids
Act III: Asteroids were PEOPLE!!
Epilogue: Ship falls in love with asteroid(s)

I'd be shocked if a studio movie actually used inertia in a space battle.
