Worst movie about space or manned mission

[smlbstcbr]

For me, the worst movie about space is, without a doubt, Armageddon (Willis et al). It is so awful, that when it is showing on TV, I get a very bad headache, stomachache, and a pain that I won't tell for the respect I owe to all of you. So bad, that I qualify it as what an space program of such magnitude is not (and never will be as long humans be humans).

The best movie about space, for me, is 2001, A Space Odyssey
The runner up is Deep Impact

Sorry you're wrong. Try watching Earthstorm. It's like mixing up Armageddon, The Core, The Day after Tomorrow, and Sunshine, taking out the good science, the good acting, and the good plotlines, then half baking what is left.

Not seen Earthstorm but I will have to watch it now as my imagination cannot encompass how it could be worse than Armageddon.

Go to the Goofs page for many of the bad science moments and take note of this one:

Revealing mistakes: After the asteroid collides with the moon, the female researcher examines an important scientific document. On the document's cover page, Astronomy is incorrectly spelled "ASTRONOMEY."

I'll do the same Tough I don't know what risk this poses, I want to remain sane a bit longer...

If you haven't seen it you may want to check out Insultingly Stupid Movie Physics, plus the Bad Movies section of the older Bad Astronomy site.
