Andromeda Strain (1971)

>>6693017
what's it about?

>>6693025
google it son

>>6693025

A research satellite carrying a virus from outer space crashes near a small town and infects and kills all the residents.

Not usually into sci-fi but I like the book and the movie captures the atmosphere quite well.

the essence of /sci/

>>6693037
dude ur cunt

Good Will Hunting is pretty good

>inb4 NOT REAL SCIENCE

Space Odissey and Moon, besides A Beautiful Mind. I hope Hawking's movie will be nice.

>>6692976
I hated a beautiful mind. I just really hate it when mental illness like schizophrenia is pictured as full blown hallucinations like that. Sure it's hard to do on film, but voices in the head wouldn't suffice? I just think the film's a really poor portrayal of Nash.

>>6693017
I just watched it and I gotta say that this is the greatest scientific movie I have ever watched

>I just really hate it when mental illness like schizophrenia is pictured as full blown hallucinations like that.
I disagree.
*a mental illness like schizophrenia is pictured
*mental illnesses like schizophrenia are pictured
>I hated a beautiful mind.
*A Beautiful Mind.

oh fuck off, English is not my native language

>>6693401
My native language is Spanish, yet I speak better English than 99.(9)% of the people I know. Also, one does not need to know a specific language to know movie names are capitalised.

>>6693376
Nash said the movie was completely inaccurate as well.

>>6693416
your autism is showing

The movie captured the grief and sadness of an individual suffering through schizophrenia quite well, but the movie itself focused too much on drama and "mystery thriller", that ended up getting in the way of Nash's much more subtle experience with schizophrenia as well as his developments in mathematics and science.

It still was quite beautiful to see it become "overcome", even it was a little rushed, however! Great movie overall!

>>6693416
*then

>>6693471
are you trolling?

>>6693416
And that goes... where?

Oops.
>>6693482
meant for >>6693471

such a great movie

>>6692976
What the Bleep Do We Know?

>>6693416
Of course know movie names are capitalized, my grammar is as good as a native speakers' if I want to be. I just don't feel like taking the time, because nobody should give a fuck on an anonymous message board.
>>6693509
Primer is good, I feel that I should rewatch it though.

I really liked this bizarre movie called Computer Chess, Pi was also pretty good.

>>6693416
And BTW, Only the first letter of movie titles is capitalized in my native tongue Finnish.

>>6693509
Yes, watch this. One of the greatest time travel themed movies ever.

Life of Pi, it's a very good biography of the number <span class="math">\pi[/spoiler]

I liked A Beautiful Mind, but it's more about psychology than math. After watching it I started to always make sure that my net of friendships form a connected graph so to be sure that all my friends are real. It isn't connected anymore since I moved to a university in another city though... whatever.
I don't watch that many movies, are anime ok too? I liked Steins;Gate and Robotics;Notes (never watched Chaos;Head), in particular Robotics;Notes is quite believable as a not-too-distant future.

Donnie Darko

Actually is A.Beautiful.Mind.2001.Bluray.1080p.DTS-HD.x264

I'm not sure if Jurassic Park can be considered a science movie, but I really liked Jurassic Park a lot.

>>6692976
If it's fiction it's an escapist waste of time, how about some documentaries? One of my favorites is "The Engines That Came in from the Cold." You can watch it here:

worth watching now because of the whole RD-180 debacle with Russia right now.

>>6693841
Get Virgo.

>>6692976
thinking about watching Gattaca (1997)

is it a good movie?

>>6693067
fav movie

>>6693875
Yes. Very good.

>>6693067
At least it's original ;)

>>6693376
Some schizophrenics do have visual hallucinations you know... Auditory is just the most common.

Bump

>>6692976
>dances with windows

Garbage.

>>6693017
i was about to post Pi but saw this.

i'm new to /sci/, but perhaps since it's the biggest passion in my life it's a better /fit/ than /tv/

>>6693768

It shouldn't be prioritized over more immediate concerns in our lives but reading and/or watching good fiction that explores interesting ideas and themes is definitely worth anyone's time. Broaden your mind.

GATTACA is top tier and if you think otherwise you are inferior DNA and should be exterminated

>>6693693
No the Secret is a wayyyy better account of quantum mechanics and contemporary physics.

just watched, GOAT movie

also took me the whole movie until I realized GATTACA comes from the nucleotide bases of DNA

>>6697282

>>6693511
Beat me to it.

>>6697392
Watch it before you bang it.

>>6697398
Already did. The ending had potential,but they fucked it up

>>6697398
>Lucy
isn't that one of those movies where people only use like 10% (or part) of their brain? I never understood this. How can you even think that you use 10% of your brain.

Are they talking about the neurons in your brain and implying that 90% of your neurons don't work?

>>6697423
It always pissed me off that Morgan Freeman prances around spewing misinformation concerning science in films after he's flaunted during interviews that he loves science and he's narrated science documentaries.

Fine, if you want to star in a movie which espouses idealism and rejects objective reality but, fuck, don't spread the 10% myth the biggest trope in false science facts.

Im def gonna see that movie about Turing. Should be a good one.

>>6697398
that's what she said

>>6697663
Same. Hope it's good.

>>6697398
>this chemical is present in tiny amounts during gestation
>if we give an adult 1000x the amount, they become superhuman!

What more do you need to watch to laugh at it's "science?"

>>6698689
Do you not like the Avengers either?

>>6698692
I thought this thread was about real science, not fictional heros

>>6698692
Not for its science, no.
