"Science in sci-fi movies is rarely all that accurate. We get that. It's OK. Space battles wouldn't be nearly as cool on screen if there weren't any impossible explosions taking place in a vacuum. But some movies take their disregard for the basic principles of science to the next level. And according to Popular Science, the worst perpetrator of 2012 was Prometheus. \nThe crew at PopSci called Ridley Scott's Alien prequel \"a funhouse of ridiculous and horribly distracting violations of science \u2014 and common sense.\"\nAmong those violations include scientists who take off their helmets within minutes of setting foot on an alien planet; a crew of a high-tech mission never having met before the start of said mission; and a super-sophisticated android who can't tell time (\"when asked how long the mission has lasted, [David] says, \"2 years, 4 months, 18 days, 36 hours, 15 minutes,\" not \"2 years, 4 months, 19 days, 12 hours and 15 minutes\").\n\"Just about the only thing that Scott got right with Prometheus was the organizational ineptitude of the mission, which was essentially a doomed-to-catastrophically-fail season of Big Brother on an alien world,\" says Popular Science.\nOuch.\nThe others on PopSci's list, from least to most offensive, are The Amazing Spider-Man, Looper, Skyfall, The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises and Total Recall.\nImage courtesy of Prometheus Movie"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
