Delta Baryon

Was honestly an interesting movie with a lot of comedic aspects (relying on tropes) that incorporate some areas of science fiction and theory that aren't used nearly enough—in other words, megastructures. It manages to keep you entertained for two hours of your life and has pretty decent effects, however, its level of scientific inaccuracies...is insane. I get it, it's science fiction, but there's a certain level of accuracy you have to maintain to make it science fiction and not just fiction. For example, "the moon is entering an elliptical orbit"...that's the ENTIRELY wrong word for it. The moon's orbit is ALREADY elliptical, along with the Earth's and just about every other celestial object. This is ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SCIENCE that they're getting wrong. Then there are points where they're just rambling about "scientific" things that make no sense whatsoever. The reason I hate this in science fiction is because it snaps you out of the world and downgrades the experience. They get most of the big details (gravity [sort of, they get some things wrong], mass, Newton's laws of motion, yadayadayada) right, just mess up...everything else. Well, enough about the science, here's some stuff about the movie: Centering things on the Kardashev scale was definitely interesting, along with tinkering with self-aware AI vs benevolent AI, but there are some plot holes I'd like to see tied up if they ever make a second movie. For example, how they didn't destroy ALL the evil AI... Tl;dr: A partially scientifically inaccurate movie with pretty effects and a cliche plot revolving around a divorced couple, "alien" AI, and a not-so-random guy who loves info dumping about megastructures. But all that (somewhat) doesn't matter because pretty pictures keep you entertained. /gen
