We took a trip through decades of the genre and came up with a list of the most important and best hard science fiction movies of all time. They are the essence and the foundations of the book of sci-fi rules that's still being written as we, the audience, become much more self-aware of our relationship with technology, the future, and whatever those two will bring.

The part that had me screaming at the TV was where George clooney's character and Sandra Bullock's character were tethered together. There are attached to the space station via straps. George Clooney releases the clip and immediately goes flying off into space. There's no spinning, nothing at all pulling him away. If he unclipped, he would just hang there.

I'm not trying to be a stickler here, but if you're making a movie about space following the basic details of how things move around in space is kind of important.
