PROBLEMS

Art or Science?

To attract audiences, many science fiction movies introduce real scientific theories to support the plot and logic, and even hire scientists to be film science consultants. However, many times for the sake of the plot needs, directors sacrifice the science of the plot so that the movies are mocked by the professionals, and the wrong theory misleads students.

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS

  • Create a search and review site for hard sci-fi fans
  • Use scientific topics related to the film to categorize the comments
