10 dumbest moments in sci-fi movie history

You forget that Emporer Palpatine ordered the Death Star commander to destroy Endor! Just as an act of spite if the Rebels managed to disable his shield generator!

... emporer palpatine was just joking "Ha Ha" he and darthie though it would be sort of funy to pretend to blow up endor. But thruthfully they couldn't actually blow it up because of ewoks. well unless they got the ewoks off the planet... or come up with the right way of making them look ugly =_

I suppose they'd have had to back the Death Star off quite a bit before destroying the planet... and we don't know if its engines were operational yet, or if it could withstand the stress of moving under its own power while only half complete.

Uuum are you trying to implly that Minority Report was based in some way on 1984? Because it certainly was not. It was based on "The Minority Report" by Philip K. Dick, Author of Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? (Which was developed into Blade Runner) as well as Total Recall.

 

I believe Terry Gilliam's dystopian film Brazil (where did he get that title, given the nature of the movie?) was based loosely on 1984. Although he deliberately steered away from plagiarism by depicting an ultra-capitalist society rather than an ultra-Stalinist one.

 

The whole of ST: Nemesis was so stupid it was hilarious, esp the bit where Data goes flying out through that air lock.

 

Indeed. ST:N was horrible. The part I hated most? The whole driving around in the desert on a pre-warp planet shooting plasma weapons! Doesn't that violate the prime directive!? Yes, yes it fucking does!

 

What do you bet it also didn't make it into their official report?

 

Three words people: The Sixth Day.

The entire movie, in fact. But ESPECIALLY the moment when the clones wake up after being cloned with full memory of their previous life.

 

maybe they weren't really clones... i mean they could have been just back up actors not cloned actores!! that would be really exspensive ... ^^^

 

Clones... backup actors.... don't even get me started on the S-Club 7: Seeing Double movie..!

BTW: CounselorCoffee & Scaperzrule, since you've chosen the same Farscape character as avatars, are you subtly hinting at actually being the same person?

 

Perhaps. Or maybe, just MAYBE, it was a really bad movie.......

 

The real question is: why did you watch ANY movie with S-Club 7 in it?! You were asking for trouble!


Another really stupid movie: Jason X. Awful. Terrible. Wasted an hour and a half of my life.

 

I believe Seeing Double was the only film they ever made - and that was one too many.

I watched it because I was babysitting some very young fans.

Oh - and that's a nice avatar, Inamorata. Is it Natalie Imbruglia?

 

No. hahahahhaha.

Its me. http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=40253

As you can see, I look nothing like Natalie

The red planet.

I can't remember what the world famous geneticist said exactly but it was something like.

DNA consists of A C T and D (the last should then be G).

 

stupidity is when any movie like star wars or whatever where some god awfully ludicrously powerful superweapon has a shield generator just DANGLING ON THE OUTSIDE OF IT. Ever notice that? in moveis and video games, it's always the damn shield generator that has absolutely no shields! and how the hell does a "shield" work to begin with? electromagnetics? perfect, make a plastic missile with lots of C4 in it and the ship's toast.

 

Speaking of dumb moments in scifi, there are several parts of 'Minority Report' that would probably qualify. The entire movie was a deus ex machina crapfest. Remember the scene in which the automated factory builds a car around the hero without harming him? There were many other scenes that were equally stupid.

I agree that it was a pretty silly movie. But to be fair, I think that they had some sort of machine for altering the clone’s brain in order to give them the proper memories. That’s why they always had to take a brain scan of someone before they cloned them.

 

"At the very beginning (of chronicles of riddick), one of the Mercs says "JESUS". Wow! Amazingly, the son of God made his way to that part of the Universe and was even called by the same name!"

same goes for "then ill see you in hell' - Han Solo - this was an improvised line by han, not lucas. but it stuck. tho hoesntly, i dont care, cos its such an amusing line
