Five Sci-Fi Movies That Actually Got the Science Right

abcnews.go.com — Recently we praised the latest sci-fi blockbuster Iron Man for including so many real-world technologies. It makes a change, since all too often Hollywood's use of science involves shocking blunders. So, to give credit where it's due, we have picked out five more sci-fi films that go against the grain, and contain some accurate, plausible science

  • skmice2, on 05/11/2008, -1/+6Digg probably didn't detect it because of the different URL and title ... but in any case, even though the printable version doesn't have any images, it's on one page and that is a large plus.
  • MakiMaki, on 05/11/2008, -1/+6Honestly, I didn't see the story you posted in the duplicate filter when I submitted this one... so this wasn't intentional at all. In any case, I always submit the printable version when there's more than 2 pages. Don't assume.
  • Chemosabe, on 05/12/2008, -0/+3I'd nominate The Andromeda Strain over pretty much all of these.
  • DeepFriedFetus, on 05/12/2008, -0/+2Not surprisingly, all wonderful and prolific films.
  • anotherjeff, on 05/12/2008, -1/+3I'd rather read the printable version, anyways. Good job, MakiMaki.
  • hoopadoo, on 05/11/2008, -0/+2I have never seen Solaris; this piece has me curious enough to go check it out.
  • rovsky, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1dugg for awesome simplicity of the site....and Gattaca.
  • Ninjao, on 05/12/2008, -0/+1If you have not seen Gattaca I highly suggest you do. It is one of the best sci-fi movies out there.

    And if you feel like something different(in a good way) I suggest watching "The man from Earth"
  • MikiMac, on 05/11/2008, -1/+1don't forget Back to the Future. they foresaw the flux capacitor.
  • doctechnical, on 05/12/2008, -1/+1I'd say that the alien going from kitten-to-human-size inside of a day (WTF was that thing eating before it started on the crew members?!?) disqualifies Alien.
    In it's place I'd put Forbidden Planet.
  • inactive, on 05/11/2008, -7/+5This was submitted an hour before you submitted it. All you did was take the URL and change it to the printable version.
