The science in science fiction
The BBC is carrying an interesting story on the dismally bad science used in some recent sci-fi flicks like "The Hulk" and "Matrix Reloaded". I think the problem is particularly heightened and noticed by audiences when the movie-plot itself it pretty damn bad. Mark Ward agrees.
One can forgive Luke Skywalker, Captain Kirk and Flash Gordon for monkeying with the laws of physics in the interests of a rip-roaring storyline, but does bad science make a poor sci-fi film far worse?
The article also links to Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics, a great site to waste lots of time on.
