<Forward> Is the sci-fi movie you're watching reasonable?
Every year, many science fiction movies compete for the box office, but are the sci-fi movies you watch reasonable? According to reports from the UK's The Times, NASA and the Science & Entertainment Exchange selected lists of the most logical and least logical science fiction movies. Many box office hits were included, and once the list was released, it sparked heated discussion in other media and online. However, according to subsequent foreign reports, NASA experts and the Science & Entertainment Exchange later denied ever having created this list.\ The list selected the seven worst science fiction movies and the seven most scientifically plausible science fiction movies, as follows:\Worst: \1. "2012" (2009)\2. "The Core" (2003)\3. "Armageddon" (1998)\4. "Volcano" (1997)\5. "Chain Reaction" (1996)\6. "The 6th Day" (2000)\7. "What the Bleep Do We Know" (2004)\Most Logical: \1. "Gattaca" (1997)\2. "Contact" (1997)\3. "Metropolis" (1927)\4. "The Day The Earth Stood Still" (1951)\5. "Woman in the Moon" (1929)\6. "The Thing from Another World" (1951)\7. "Jurassic Park" (1993)\ The report pointed out that "2012" is considered an unusually bad scientific film. The movie depicts neutrinos released by solar storms supposedly causing the Earth's core to heat up rapidly, which in turn triggers earthquakes, tsunamis, and land sinking—but this is not scientifically accurate. After the film's release, NASA experts had to rush to clarify the scientific inaccuracies, even setting up a website to explain them. As for the movies rated as most logical, they largely did not compromise scientific facts and balanced entertainment with science.
