When watching a science fiction movie, which scientific innaccuracies or oversimplifications annoy you the most? Do any do so to the degree that it makes you stop watching? Or do you just remain in the audience and heckle the actors?
Right now, I’d say “computers being the magical genie of all knowledge” is my top pick. What’s yours?
I see that smile.
I cringe when said computer is only one of several needed to shut down the deadly problem, and each tower is in a station miles apart from the other stations, rather than all together in the same place. Trek here, lose a man, trek to the next one, lose another man, trek to another one…
*sigh*
I heckle. It’s more fun. 🙂
I know. That sounds more and more like a formula for a computer game rather than a story.
And yes, heckling is more fun. It means you can throw things.
