io9 Assesses Bad Movie Physics

Here. Actually I think even this "report card" is not accurate. They claim that 2001: A Space Odyssey has "weird depictions of exposure to vacuum". I thought that 2001 gave the most accurate depiction among all movies so far; namely that you do not explode instantly when exposed in space, but one can survive for a few seconds.

And I also have no idea why Contact has "easy communications with aliens", since the content of Contact was accurately written by Carl Sagan, a pioneer of SETI, one of the few professional scientists seriously considering possible communications with extraterrestrial intelligence..

Do the makers of the report card seem to suffer the same misconceptions from bad movie physics?
