Where was the movie explicitly showing the entire crew of the Normandy (who were on earth), hightailing it back to the ship, and then Joker LEAVING THE SOLAR SYSTEM in order to get to the Mass Relay, then entering the Mass Relay, only to have it explode behind him? The sequence of events as presented in the last portion of the game don't allow for this to happen in any reasonable time frame. It's not like the Mass Relays exploded a week later. They exploded instantaneously, as far as anything the game tells you would lead you to believe.It's not about answering every question. It's about not answering the questions in a self-consistent or narratively satisfying way.I'll also note one more thing about the destruction of the Mass Relays -- Doing that leaves the Krogan stuck on a devastated earth along with the remainder of the human race, and the Turian forces. What are those guys going to eat? And as for "spreading the solution" again, the game explicitly says the relays are destroyed, and it explicitly shows their destruction. There's no way to dodge that the relays are absolutely destroyed, with no consideration of the consequences of that decision for the Galaxy. How's Buzz Aldren's grandson going to see the stars "soon" when there's no effective interstellar travel and no way to get it, since it was established very early on in the series that the capacity for creating Mass Relays is far beyond the capacity of any sentient race in the galaxy?I think this guys review sums it up well for me:[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H_A7SeawU4]Mass Effect 3 Ending and Why We Hate It! - YouTube[/ame]</blockquote>
