I guess you would never watch a sci-fi movie if you wanted the science to be factual and accurate, If it were to be scientifically accurate, it may end up being rather dull.

I never consider the science, otherwise I would ultimately end up disappointed, if I did. I have really enjoyed a lot of movies that people think are rubbish, Matrix 2 and 3 spring to mind. I loved them. It took me away from reality for a few hours. And no, I am not living in denial of reality, just want to escape it for a while. And, in my mind, that is exactly what movies are for..... entertaining escapism.

Don't tell me its flaws, I simply don't want to know! Which is kind of strange coming from a perfectionist If I want something to be scientifically accurate, I will watch a documentary, even though they too sometimes get it wrong.

The more outrageous the better; I want my mind to be taken on a fanciful journey. I want to suspend my beliefs and let the imagination fly. Screw reality!
