Although it may come as a surprise for fans of the film, the animators and writers for Finding Nemodid a lot of research to present audiences with the scientifically-accurate movie they got to see in 2003. And no, the talking fish and seagulls are not the scientifically accurate part. The team behind the iconic Pixar movie hired consultants like ma...
While the notion of a self-perceptive A.I. is barely original in the sci-fi zeitgeist, Spike Jonze’s Heris founded on some thoroughly researched theoretical science that could quite possibly come to be a reality at some point this next decade. Prominent computer expert and futurist Ray Kurzweil commended the picture’s science, maintaining that the ...
Frequently admired as one of the most scientifically-accurate movies ever, Contact was an adaptation of Carl Sagan’s sci-fi novel, the only one of his career. Contactis about the quest for alien signs of life, and what ensues when they are revealed through communication from space. Radio waves are used, exactly imitating what SETI really does, and ...

Showing an ultramodern civilization in which genetic alterations have been wholly adopted and each embryo is tested for looked-for characteristics, hence producing a “master race” society reminiscent of Nazi Germany, Gattacahas only turned out more alarming as the technology it illustrates has approached reality. Actually, most of the movie’s genet...
The Martian’s production team aimed for the best possible rate of scientific accuracy, like the novel's author, Andy Weir. The set designer went to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory to study spacesuits and read NASA blueprints. Actors and staff ultimately met with numerous astronauts, observing them and learning the ropes. NASA has emphasized nine spec...
Interstellaris famous for being spot-on concerning visuals and CGI. Theoretical physicist Kip Thorne assisted in creating the film’s enormous black hole, Gargantua, where the astronauts travel. The film shows Gargantua in accordance with all known physics’ laws. Gargantua is orbited by a planet, and one would believe it’d be torn to shreds by the i...
It should be obvious that a movie telling the true story of the canceled Apollo 13 lunar landing would be technically correct; yet, Ron Howard’s 1995 movie should be applauded for putting in the effort to emphasize the mission’s science. Even though it’s a film with Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton, Apollo 13nearly has a documentary-like sen...
One of Stanley Kubrick’s best movies is a pinnacle of sci-fi cinema; also, one of the most scientifically accurate films. Kubrick and co-writer Arthur C. Clarke (author of “The Sentinel,” 2001’s basis) methodically studied the science of space treks and according to SFGATE, the STEM community was pleasantly surprised by 2001: A Space Odyssey’s accu...
