To: A K A Stone (#0) Most science fiction movies stink because their science stinks. Generally, the Star Treks are the best because they consulted with scientists to at least get basic terminology right. (e.g., they don't confuse the concept of a solar system, galaxy, and universe like almost all other science fiction movies do) Some good ones: I, Robot (Will Smith) Predator (Schwarzenegger) The Alien series The first Matrix (there is scientific evidence that the universe is a hologram). The second and third Matrix movies stunk in my view, but the first one was interesting. On the fun side...

Super Novas can destroy life on nearby star's planets, but they do not destroy everything in their path. And I doubt a quantum mechanical black hole containing the relatively small mass of a Romulan mining vessel would threaten the existance of the NCC 1701 Enterprise even it being of zero volume and infinite density. I like that movie, but it is less accurate than previous Trek films. Even if the phaser battle and reaction to photon torpedos is more realistic.

The only thing about the new Star Trek I enjoyed was the actor who imitated Bones. He was spot on in copying the character. Beyond that the remake was crap from a science stand point, etc. Godwinson  posted on  2011-03-07   9:19:05 ET  Reply   Untrace   Trace   Private Reply   Replies to Comment # 5. #6. To: Ferret Mike, jwpegler, A K A Stone (#5) Best science fiction show is Star Trek: Next Generation but all the Star Trek shows were pretty amazing and even the original classical consulted with Isaac Asimov to get the science as correct as possible for a TV show from the late 60s. Star Wars is mythology not sci-fi. The first Matrix movie is amazing. There are experiments that show our universe is one bung simulation and that when we are not looking parts of the universe don't exist - sort of asking of a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound? - The answer maybe that if we are not observing the tree it does not even exist. That kind of blows your mind a little. To be honest comic books are overlooked as sci fi works but comic books took the idea of alternate universes or parallel universes and ran with it and Marvel in the 70s really made an effort to inject real science into the abilities of its characters or to make them sound as real as possible. Comic books have stories regarding time travel, cloning, alternate universes, pocket dimensions, supernatural magick, etc. So I would say comic books are probably the most prolific medium for sci fi right now.
