A science fiction movie can do just about anything and claim it's possible, and most of us would never know. But it's probably hard to get anything too fantastical past the folks at NASA.
Some years back, they actually named the three most realistic science fiction movies . . . and the three LEAST realistic.
For the MOST realistic, they chose "Gattaca" from 1997, starring Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law. It's about parents having their kids genetically-engineered to produce the best traits.
NASA says it aligns with actual research in genetics, which focuses on studying hereditary diseases in families, and hopefully wiping them out.
Second on their list is "Contact", also from 1997, and starring Jodie Foster as a scientist who finds evidence of alien life.
Third is the 1927 classic "Metropolis", which is about class conflict in a dystopian future.
So what's the LEAST realistic science fiction movie? That would be the disaster flick "2012", which was confusingly released in 2009.
It's followed by 2003's "The Core", where scientists have to drill to the center of the Earth in order to restart its rotation.
Then in third we have 1998's "Armageddon" . . . you know, Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck drilling into an asteroid to save the Earth.
