NASA Names Best & Worst Sci-Fi Movies of All Time

Posted by samzenpus on from the I-want-a-recount dept.

mvar writes "Working through the year-end best/worst movie lists can be a feat of Olympic proportions, but there's one list which is so damn cool you'll definitely want to give it a whirl. NASA and the Science and Entertainment Exchange have compiled a list of the 'least plausible science fiction movies ever made,' and they ranked the disastrous (in more ways than one) 2012 as the most 'absurd' sci-fi flick of all time."

    They don't even list "Capricorn One".

      That's because NASA considers Capricorn One to be a documentary, not sci-fi.

    Two things -
    1. I don't even know how 2012 is considered a sci-fi at all.
    2. If NASA indeed decides to use lasers, they should just go ahead and melt all of John Cusack's roles till date.

    Why would a government agency be rating movies, anyway? The only possible explanation is that they know something we don't about 2012, and it actually is going to be the end of the world. The top gubmint politicians and military brass are confident that they have their secret shelters and caves to flee to, but the masses are being psychologically conditioned to quietly walk right into their doom.

    The worst thing is, the few brave voices that speak out against this stuff tend to get a bullet in the head without warni

    Apparently you're unaware of Newton's 4th Law. "Any natural disaster travels at the speed of the transportation you happen to be in at the time." Of course later Einstein showed that relativistic effects could add or subtract 10 or 20 miles per hour, but only in faster vehicles which weren't available in newton's time.
