Surprisingly, “Arrival” scored even lower.
Most science fiction projects almost always lean towards fiction rather than realism, as the authors try to make their film as entertaining as possible. There are only a few exceptions to this rule that manage to find a balance between a clear image and the exact sciences.
Thus, “Interstellar” only reached 7th place in Collider’s rating, although it is often called one of the most realistic science fiction films in history, but the top five is, to say the least, unclear.
5. “2001: A Space Odyssey”
With director Stanley Kubrick’s renowned attention to detail and author Arthur C. Clarke’s background in physics and mathematics, it’s no surprise that the film has its fair share of scientifically accurate moments.
The absence of sound in space, the depictions of weightlessness, and even the design of Discovery 1 are all based on real research and personal experience. And the fact that the film came out before man had even set foot on the moon makes its accuracy remarkable.
4. “Gravity”
This picture is often compared to Interstellar, and it was this film that was actively praised by Daniel Gama, a former NASA astronaut:
“The film captures what it’s like to go into space perfectly – much better than any science fiction movie. Now that I’ve done three spacewalks, I can tell you it’s true.”
3. “Gattaca”
The thriller, starring a young Ethan Hawke, explored eugenics and looked at real-life medical procedures from an unexpected angle.
Humans have long been able to artificially inseminate embryos and detect genetic defects through a process known as preimplantation genetic diagnosis, so Gattaca was quite accurate in this regard.
2. “The Martian”
Watney’s use of human feces as fertilizer for the Martian soil is the most scientifically accurate plot point in The Martian.
He grows potatoes using a method that NASA researchers have successfully reproduced under extreme conditions similar to those on Mars. Other fun moments include the Martian refuge, the way Mark synthesizes water, and the life-saving rocket.
1. “Apollo 13”
Ron Howard’s classic 1995 thriller has been called “the most realistic space movie ever made” after an interview with retired astronaut Chris Hadfield. The film’s depiction of scientific aspects, such as the explosion on the ship and the buildup of carbon dioxide, were as accurate as possible to what actually happened.
