Most science fiction movies stink because their science stinks.

Generally, the Star Treks are the best because they consulted with scientists to at least get basic terminology right. (e.g., they don't confuse the concept of a solar system, galaxy, and universe like almost all other science fiction movies do)

Some good ones:

I, Robot (Will Smith)

Predator (Schwarzenegger)

The Alien series

The first Matrix (there is scientific evidence that the universe is a hologram). The second and third Matrix movies stunk in my view, but the first one was interesting.

On the fun side...

Men in Black

Galaxy Quest

Well, the new re-boot the franchise movie fails on that count. Super Novas can destroy life on nearby star's planets, but they do not destroy everything in their path. And I doubt a quantum mechanical black hole containing the relatively small mass of a Romulan mining vessel would threaten the existance of the NCC 1701 Enterprise even it being of zero volume and infinite density.

I like that movie, but it is less accurate than previous Trek films. Even if the phaser battle and reaction to photon torpedos is more realistic.

I completely agree. The last Start Trek movie stunk. I hated it.

I was in the military. You don't go from a misfit to First Officer in a month and then get your own command. Commanding your own ship takes about 15 to 20 years of hard work.

I like my movies to have some sense of realism. The last Star Trek movie failed miserably on this count. I won't pay to see another one.

I have to agree. I mean, it's possible Spock's Mum could of lived had Uhura not bothered the Acting Captain with a concerned lover's question when he was off on a time sensitive task to the doomed planet's surface.

Not only that, how the heck would Chekov know the gender of the person he lost a transporter lock on?

And of course Kirk's apple he was eating kept gaining or losing flesh to it throughout the Kobayashi Maru scene, and the sound of him eating the damn thing would not have been heard outside the simulation chamber, nor would we have heard Scotty's vocalizations under water after the transport to the Enterprise under warp.

And I could go on and on about the problems of that film. C.C. Abrams must of been on drugs whn he made it.

C.C. Abrams knows how to make a movie but not a clue about science. His movie 'Cloverfiled' was also garbage science wise. A big Godzilla monster - no matter how strong - could not survive bombings and shots from tanks. Sorry. Not gonna happen. They even have a scene in that movie where the monster steps on a tank and the tank gets squished. On a manhattan street what would have happened is the tank would have been pushed onto the subway tunnels beneath the streets and the crew inside would have been relatively OK - the tank would not be crushed.

You mean't LOST.

HEROES was not a C.C. Abrams project, I am pretty sure.

You're right. The guy who played Spock on the new one came from Heroes.

Well. I liked Lost too.
