That site is fascinating.

The author writes from a physics background. While I pick up on some of the more obvious physics flaws in movies, my background is in life sciences, so I tend to really notice those flaws.

Like in the X-Men movies, where people have super-human powers because they are mutants. Really? None of their “powers” are even biologically possible. Plus, a single mutation isn’t likely to cause much of an effect at all. We all have about 200 mutations in our DNA that our parents didn’t have, and, to my knowledge, those mutations have given no one any superpowers.

If you ever saw the recentalien invasion movie movie “Battleship”, you’d really enjoy the “science” in it.

I have a computer science background. I have never seen a single Hollywood movie that shows computers used in a realistic manner. 99% of the time, the computer talk is pure gibberish.

My biggest pet peeve is showing someone "hacking" or otherwise operating some piece of software and there is no feedback on the monitor (in otherwords, they type but what they are typing doesn't appear on the screen).
