This set me to wondering: what ranks as the most unrealistic space movie?
To
qualify, it has to have some pretense of realism (this excludes Star Wars
etc) votes anyone?

"Starflight: The Plane That Couldn't Land", maybe.

Was that the one where a plane ended up in orbit and followed a shuttle down
in order to use it as a "heat shield"? I actually gagged on my drink when I
heard that while watching the movie. I guess they writers didn't understand
what a heat shield actually does.....

Some say Armageddon was bad but I actually kinda liked it. It was so silly
and funny, right from the start, that I never took it seriously as a Sci-Fi
story. Just a comedy - drama.
