An action-packed science fiction movie could be really entertaining, but just remember the mention of “fiction” in the word and you will realize how scientifically inaccurate these films really are. Enjoy this list curated by the Phraset review team.
The Day After Tomorrow In the 2004 movie, global warming leads to the next ice age after a series of catastrophic weather events. One major occurrence is that the ocean current stops. The movie embellishes how dramatic and quick the change occurs, which makes for good entertainment but not sound science.
Armageddon
Bruce Willis saves the Earth in Armageddon by landing on the surface of an asteroid set to collide with the planet. He detonates a hydrogen bomb at the center and splits the asteroid into two pieces, so they float by the planet. Even if Willis had the perfect most powerful bomb, the odds of not knowing an asteroid “the size of Texas” will hit Earth in less than 20 days is quite impossible.
I Am Legend
The goal for Will Smith in I Am Legend is to develop a vaccine to cure people from a virus that essentially wiped out humankind. The virus mutates and becomes airborne. Infected people spread the disease by biting others. As for Smith’s character, who doesn’t have the virus, his blood won’t help him create a vaccine because vaccines train the immune system to recognize pathogens by first introducing traces of the virus to the body.
