Like I said pedantic. This isn't a physics simulation for a thesis on space travel. It's entertainment. This effect is a de facto standard in movies, games etc. for many years now. It emphasises on the chaos and lack of control the absence of gravity can cause.

Wouldn't that make it the opposite of pedantic though? Ignoring physics that is. I guess you're saying there's no plausible explanation though. I was totally expecting something else in that scene by the way, maybe some biotics or... well just something else... :P

No, it would make it the pure definition of pedantic :p
Who knows if the entire thing shook right after the gravity was lost, but really it's mostly a cool effect you will see in any space hollywood movie, where gravity is lost in a spaceship. Just saw it today in Passengers for instance :D

From the look of it (16:48-16:51), there was a lot of friction while the cryo chamber was sliding along the floor so when the gravity field failed at 16:51 it could take off because of a slightest surface irregularity. This is supported by the fact that the chamber's rear side is the first to take off, as if the front side has hit a bump.

Since the game have been out on EA access, or whatever it's called for a while, I'm guessing most of you have watched the beginning of the game like me. Can anyone explain what's happening with the cryo chamber that are about to crush or at least ram in to the main character at this point? https://youtu.be/clyZILeFHBc
From how everything else is reacting it would seem like it's supposed to be an effect of a failed gravity field but if so, why would that make the chambers movement change direction?
Edit: The part I'm talking about starts at 16:30'ish. Apparently I don't know how to make the video start at that point with the link... Sorry about that
