NASA Ranks Sci-Fi Films
January 10, 2011 5:53 AM Are you a fan of Sci-Fi films? Do you think the men & women of NASA are? I’m not a ”Treky’, nor a fan of the Star Wars movies mostly because, I just don’t buy it. If there are alien life forms out there I don’t think they have two eyes, a nose, mouth and speak perfect English with thick make-up on.
I do buy the idea of the Sci-Fi film ‘Starship Troopers’. A planet of giant bugs that wants to take over earth. If another planet out there can sustain life, insects would be likely.
A helmeted robot lands a flying saucer in a park in Washington, D.C. Dinosaurs freely roam a small isle off of Costa Rica. The Mayan calendar accurately predicts the fiery end of the world. Are the plots of sci-fi movies really that far-fetched?
Of course they are. But NASA, whose space engineers are apparently also sci-fi movie buffs, has compiled a list of the most — and least — realistic science fiction films of all time.
They saved a particular amount of ire for the Roland Emmerich’s end-of-days epic 2012, which they deemed the least realistic. Rounding out the list are other apocalypse flicks The Core and Armageddon.
The most believable? Gattaca, a 1997 love story set in a dystopian future. Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park and 1951′s classic alien invasion film The Day the Earth Stood Still also make the grade.
What Sci-Fi do you buy?
