Sci-Fi Movies That Would've Flunked Science Class

Where to begin with 2012? Director Roland Emmerich has made a specialty out of flouting science in pursuit of blockbuster goals (see The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day, elsewhere on this list), but with this apocalyptic thriller, he really outdid himself, imagining that the doomsday allegedly predicted by the Mayan calendar would be brought about by neutrino particles from solar flares that somehow manage to overheat the Earth's core. It's all very silly, but NASA was so deluged with frantic questions from viewers that they felt the need to set up a special website debunking the movie, which they denounced as the most scientifically absurd of all time.
