Technonerds go to movies strictly for entertainment, and of course, the most entertaining part comes after the movie when they can dissect, criticize, and argue the merits of every detail. However, when supposedly serious scenes totally disregard the laws of physics in blatantly obvious ways it’s enough to make us retch. The motion picture industry has failed to police itself against the evils of bad physics. This site is provided as a public service in hopes of improving this deplorable matter.
It even comes with its own rating similar to movie rating systems:
- GP = Good physics in general
- PGP = Pretty good physics (just enough flaws to be fun)
- PGP-13 = Children under 13 might be tricked into thinking the physics were pretty good; parental guidance is suggested
- RP = Retch
- XP = Obviously physics from an unknown universe
- NR = Unrated. When a movie is obviously a parody, fantasy, cartoon or is clearly based on a comic book it can’t be rated but may still have some interesting physics worth discussing.
In other words, if you like physics equations and movies, this is for you.
