As a scientist (I love saying that, makes my degree worth it), I would say;

Day after Tomorrow, they're literally outrunning climate change on foot.

In Pacific Rim they talk about Dinosaurs having two brains. Which is again not true.

Any movie that depicts invisibility.The retina needs to absorb light, if it was invisible you would be blind.

The martian on the other hand is quite good on the science front.

I swear I've brought back some but maybe I just didn't check for a heartbeat.

Ding ding ding we have a winner. Day after tomorrow is number 2 on the list. Even Elsa couldn't cause an ice age in a matter of days.

Space movies are the worse, in gravity they are spinning on a line, cutting a rope wouldn't do shit because friction and gravity are non existing.

Also any space movie with sound because space is a vacuum so no sounds in space. Or firey explosions due to lack of oxygen lol

If you can rejuvenate supermarket pots of herbs, you've got powers beyond the limits of science.

One thing you need to separate is the science that would make a movie impossible to work/be cinematic vs science that is fabricated/ignored for little to no reason at all. Oh and how much of Sci fi vs Sci fantasy is it.

I can't remember the exact quote but I think it was during the filming of or editing of Lord of The Rings somebody asked about lighting "should the light be like that, where is the light coming from for this scene?" and the dude replied "the same place the music is"

I always remember that story from Prof. Brian Cox. Apparently Danny Boyle brought him in as scientific advisor on "Sunshine" to check the script for any inaccurate science. "Sure," says Cox, "what's the movie about?"

"It's about a group of astronauts on a dangerous mission to reignite the dying Sun using a nuclear bomb."

Cox. "...."

If you think they're bad, you should see a film called 'Electric Dreams'.

This is why science fiction is inferior to fantasy. I will always believe in the possibility of going through the back of the wardrobe into a land of eternal winter, or sailing across the sea to where the wild things are, or of the Dread Pirate Roberts and Princess Buttercup. But those daleks would never have conquered any worlds with kerbs.

In fantasy you can just say 'A wizard did it'

If its in a universe that's not set where we are then anything could be scientific.

It's some bullshit that they say the Robots need two pilots because they are so big. Then they say something like they got the ideas from Dinosaurs that also have two brains.

Then they try and kill the monster by shooting it in both its brains.

In the 1900s scientists believed that Dinosaurs had two brains, but its since been proven two brains play no advantage in any animal. Including the small one in everymans pants

But they didn't

Jules Verne was laughed at until he wasn’t.

Maybe that pot plant still has a chance…
