I think it's a stretch by far to call either Interstellar or 2001: A Space Odyssey most scientifically accurate movie. Using a correct simulation of black hole is one thing, but this alone does not make necessarily make it very accurate. This is not the first time I am seeing this, and I don't know it pops up everywhere. There are parts in the movies which make me cringe, like bending gravity by hands inside a black hole, and giving some strange bar code. Or the highly incorrect approximation of probability from TARS. If I were to select an interesting scientifically accurate sci-fi movie, I would select martian or primer. The later is more consistent than what is evident on watching it for first time.
- ovrdrv3 9y agoI think he was talking more about "mainstream impact" than accuracy in his comment. How many average Joes that maybe didn't care for science and space are now interested because of movies like this? And for ones that already liked science and space it was awesome to see an abstract thought (more dimensions) put into play in Interstellar, that maybe got them even more interested in making contributions towards teams like LIGO? Although there was a lot of silly things in the movie I would like to think movies like those are pretty inspiring nonetheless.
