Pic related was ok.

As far as the subject goes I guess it had a fair amount of information.

However, most of the homosexuality subplot took over by the last half of the movie.

Would've been more interesting to know more about the achievement itself and how it was made.

>Westworld: The new series on HBO was quite good (it's not a movie, but still)

>ex machina: not as good as Westworld imo, but still pretty good

Both these movies have solidified my aspirations to contribute to creating a means to an end; a machine in our own image that will replace humans like we did to the neanderthals. Humanity can only chance as much as our operating system allows us to.

>>8576311
Ex Machina was waaaaay bettwen than Westworld. The only good part of Westworld was the set design.

>>8576321
The reason I liked Westworld better is because I feel like they went into greater detail into how the AI operates. They did a better job explaining how the humanistic qualities of the AI were synthesized, where as in Ex Machina they chose to leave it more vague overall.

Primer is as close to a """realistic""" sci-fi time-travel mechanic you'll ever see. If nothing else, just following the plot is an interesting mental exercise. Well done for a little indie movie too, and unlike most sci-fi, certainly not tailored to the lowest common denominator.

>>8576235
You mean movies with actually interestingly illustrated scientific content? There are none, and it's just fine like that. You watch movies because you want to see a movie. If you want to learn something about science, read a paper or something.

>Implying you can't watch a movie for "inspiration".

I mean half of what gets people into these fields is media they saw as a child, and plenty of adults watch movies for emotional impact, if nothing else.

There aren't a lot of good *educational* science movies for adults already educated in a particular field, though there's some for laymen, and plenty for kids - and there's plenty of inspirational movies for nearly everyone of every stripe, even if the bulk of them are intellectual equivalent of junk food.

Granted, most movies are also about the dangers of science, rather than the benefits. I'm sure some modern astronauts and cosmologists were nonetheless "inspired" by say Cosmos or even Contact.

Moon's pretty good, but yeah, more the consequences of science type of flick.

One of the best books ever.

Shit, only to think about it I am already in a space ship!

Contact is great.

>>8576737
This is a total spoiler, but I do like how it takes the opposite approach to the HAL9000 type of entity - where the semi-AI actually has more humanity than the humans that programmed it, simply because it's designed to maintain "Sam's" emotional wellbeing.

Was totally not expecting that.

>>8576733
No, just no.

What exactly should a movie like Moon inspire scientifically? I really don't see it. There may be Sci-Fi elements in the movie but it still doesn't make me think about science. The actual topics the movie deals with are of emotional or maybe philosophical nature. Scientifically it didn't inspire shit. If you are watching this sort of movie looking for that, then so be it, but I don't. Movies are movies, it's about characters, stories and relationships and stuff like that.

Best AI human can ever want.

>>8576758
Meh, I'll give you that it's definitely more emotionally driven movie than professionally inspirational, yes - there are movies that are otherwise, perhaps, but they are few and far between. Though nearly any sci-fi, even the bad ones, can inspire youngins not already trained in a particular profession to gravitate towards a certain field.

Still a good movie though - and maybe it'll inspire some angsty teen to develop a more human than human AI ruleset though, or some future genetic engineer to think twice about mass producing human clones. (Suddenly wishing this board had spoiler tags.)

Kinda wrong there, Neanderthals were cousins of sapiens, not ancestors.

>>8576395
It had some good points, but broke down into absolute, total horse shit about two thirds of the way through. Find it cringy and difficult to watch after that point.
>>8576485
As i said above, appreciate the first two-thirds, but when he doesn't get length contracted to oblivion by being anywhere near the black hole, you can stop relating it to science in any way.

>>8577069
Well, if the black hole is large enough, and devoid of surrounding incoming matter and energy (really being the bigger issue), you can, theoretically, enter the event horizon unharmed.

Albeit this particular black hole passes neither test. ...and then there's the tesseract "interact with my daughter backwards in time" crap, that fails even on the basic logic level, let alone science. But meh, LCD movie probably inspired some youngins at least.

>>8577040
>mpchc
Never heard of, I use MPV with custom settings instead

>>8577078
The prevailing idea just now is that you actually can't pass an event horizon unharmed, regardless of the radius. Part of the Black Hole Information Paradox.
But yeah, the reasons for him not being annihilated near to this black hole is a different one from why he wouldn't get annihilated (literally) from entering a larger one.

The Martian was really dope.

>>8577152
NTG, and it's been decades since I've seen it as well, but IIRC, it was one of those flicks where the man's identity and sanity is just slowly disintegrating due to some guilt in his past that's gradually alluded to in brief chunks - going through hell to reach redemption sorta thing. Seemed more religious-philosophy oriented than science to me.

Not that it was bad... It's all a blur now though.

Yup, that one, basically some autistic math nerd "memorizes"/unlocks the secret to Pi, and slowly goes insane. Not confused with "The Life of Pi" of course.

Fun thriller, but not exactly "inspirational". Also, for some of us, it may hit a little too close to home.

Not a movie but this book left me speechless.
It's sci-fi so there obviously have to be made up physics but they are more detailed than the knowledge that the average casual scienve channel (Vsauce/Veritasium etc.) covers in regard to actual physics

>>8577221
The problem with the book really was that it's just accurate enough to get all the meme nerds into the boat, but overall it was pretty much wrong. Starting with the fact that no earthly plant will ever grow in martian soil, especially not fucking potatoes.
