ELI5: What would it be like navigating through an asteroid field

I’ve seen a handful of SciFi movies, and people flying TOWARD an asteroid barely dodging it just seems weird. They make it look like asteroids are slow moving. 


What would it really be like?

/sorry if this has been covered.

In reality, most asteroids are thousands of miles apart, and detectable from a long range. So it would be very boring. The only time you would see a densely packed field like in the movies is a debris field, which is also detectable from a long range.
