Comment on ...but with a whimper. (2009-02-17 15:06:25)
There is a short story from Asimov called The Last Question that deals with the end of the universe. Interesting read: http://www.multivax.com/last_question.html

@brisingre: that's exactly how I feel about science fiction movies. If you can't get the science right in your movie, don't talk about it. There are several annoying "oddities" in BSG, for example artificial gravity: where does it start acting against a body and where does it end? How does the shape of the hull determine the shape of the gravitational field? How does the landing bay work? If there was gravity, the ships would instantly fall when in range of the gravitational field because they are still in the vacuum of space (i.e., no lift). Also, there was this episode where Helo and Tyrol got rid of the ashes of (they thought) Hera. They were standing inside the Raptor with the door open (in the range of gravity) and when they dispersed the ashes outside the raptor, it "flew" like it was in vacuum. Also, the combat suits which become vacuum-proof by grabbing a pair of gloves and a helmet. What the hell is up with that? But, still, it's a good series, because the actors make up for it (somewhat. Kara needs to kill some more people.). I enjoyed Sunshine and I would say it is a good movie. Why isn't it great? The actors weren't that great, the dialogue could have been better, the science regarding the plot of the movie was fucked up.

Sadly, it is missing the yourmom epoch.

@njch412: I love science fiction, but I like it the most when the authors go to the sun and back to make it as realistic as possible. For example, I love BSG, but there were scenes when I would just want to jump out of the chair and yell "WRONG, BEOTCH". There are so many ways to avoid bad science in a movie and it ticks me off whenever that does not happen.

@AlecDalek: @POLYONYMOUS: Thanks for your valuable input. Sadly, Alec, you are wrong. A star does not die out, i.e. dim in brightness. A star either goes nova, or loses enough mass for its gravity to shrink and cause its volume to expand (red giant phase). Sure there are other ways a star can go frak itself, but our sun being the dull star it is does not really have many other options. Brian Cox (kudos to him for being a passionate speaker about science) repeatedly stated that he did in fact advise the producers about the science involved, but in many aspects his input was not really taken into consideration so they basically pulled sciencey stuff out of their collective asses.

The science in this movie made me cringe again and again and again.

@beep beep: "Apparently, the boy’s dad already has 9 other kids and the girl’s mum has 6. So…stupidity runs in the family. " There, fixed it for you.

Imagine the pressure on this kid when he grows up. His father will be like "when I was your age... fuck, I fucked your mother before I got anywhere near of drugs"

My granpa has a tractor similar to that one, drove it a couple of times when I was younger. Lots of fun, but the clutch is a huge bitch. Oh, and that is definitely Romania. Tractors are generally found on the beach late at night or in the very very morning dragging something that looks like a plow to cycle the sand. The most probable thing is that the water was full of algae and they were mobilizing the tractors to load them up and clean the shore. Romanian beaches are quite dirty unfortunately.
