Basically I need movies that have some sort of scientific background to it and write if it is valid or not.

Example is like when they travel to the core of the earth and why that would be invalid
or the movie 'day after tomorrow'
or any apocalyptic movie

up to 6 movies.
willing to pay 10-25fg each movie
I need help writing a SUPER SHORT DOUBLE SPACED ONE PAGE description on why the movie is valid or not

Was going to post this in homework help, but I guess it could go to either.

lol doesn't even need to be like super researched
you can just say how it can or can't happen and basic info

obviously 2012 isn't going to happen and there isn't going to be catastrophe
so someone can do that for example
1 page double spaced is not much at all.

The Core (mentions geology and fluid mechanics, at the very least)
Primer (theoretical physics <-- harder to write about its validity)
any zombie movie that includes an explanation for what did it, e.g. 28 Days Later (biology --> virology)
Gattaca (genetics, gene manipulation)
The Island (cloning)
Angel & Demons (physics - antimatter)

I don't care about the fg though, since I don't intend to write anything about them. Just some ideas.

Hmm, it's just for extra credit and they are only worth 5 points per movie.. but that's not bad since it's just a short description of it.
and the problem is, i don't have time to watch the each movie and never watched any movie related to this.

You can probably find plot lines for Wikipedia. Like, I know in The Core, the Earth's core stops rotating and they want to restart it by drilling down into the Earth's Core and detonating nukes to make it start rotating again. This is absurd for so many reasons. First of all, momentum wouldn't let the earth's core stop rotating all of a sudden like that. Second, we don't have ships that can withstand the immense heat and pressure of the outer core of the Earth. Next, the electronics in the nukes themselves would cease to function under those temperatures and pressures.

The Human Centipede. 100% medically accurate, 100% retarded.

I did a whole study about this movie.

Um it was on my USB I can give it to you if you want.

It was about drilling to the centre of the earth. I was doing Earth Science for a year before moving to Architecture.

Fully referenced, Harvard style I think.
