Science Fiction movies should stop being inaccurate

Fiction gani..

A poor excuse. Like any genre, there are rules to be followed in the specific genre, even though it's tagged as "fiction".

McGyver is a good example.

pero sa mga movies nga mga bag-o ron.
mura'g realistic na kaayo (mura ra ha)
kay ang mga katalagman lang hap, like 2012 nga movie, gibase baya to sa mga possibilities nganong ma-ingon ni-adto ang mga panghitabo
nanglimbawt lagi nuon akong balhibo
ug usa pa, ang US ron, nagkalot ug nagbuhat na baya ug depot para sa mga opisyales nila.
nga makasupport sa human about pila ka years.

will superheroes not be able to fly because there is some sort of a strong electromagnetic force called "gravity" which pulls him back to the ground?

correction, electromagnetism and gravitaty/gravitation are two different forces...

ang argumento diri,

nga unta, ma-accurate ang mga sci fi movies.
then, it will be sci fact movies.

sci fi movies, for entertainment.

[coolnezz]

it's called "science fiction" for a reason.....

I have no qualms with your beliefs and opinions about science fiction movies. Pero please remember that the issue here is that kids nowadays tend to be led into pseudoscience because of some bad sci fi movies that tend to skew real science. And, what's worse, sometimes some really bad sci-fi movies even discourages kids to pursue science as a career because of how "immoral" or "evil" scientists are depicted in some of these so-called sci-fi films. This is the main reason why there is concern for this. Nag-unsa ra man diay si Dustin Hoffman, nagpa-sikat-sikat? Ano namang makukuha niya sa endeavor na ito? Naniniwala ako na genuine yung concern nya, equally as genuine as my own concern, brought about by the alarming number of kids I encounter nowadays who have totally the wrong notions about basic scientific principles (ga eskwela intawon pero science basics dili kabalo).

Kayo, kung gusto ninyo manood ng sci-fi because it's fiction eh wala namang komokontra sa inyo ah...ang topic dito is about what can be done so that science education will not be skewed and distorted by bad movies. Just like what Phil Plait is doing in his website:

Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: The Bad Pages

So instead of posting something that slightly skews away from the topic, why don't you post stuff that would actually help in this endeavor?
