Forget everything you have learned and remember nothing that you have forgotten.

After barely passing Earth Science and failing Chemistry due to a combination of attendance and attention deficits, my guidance counselor thought it best for me to take a sequence of business classes so I could graduate high school. Because of this I never took a physics class. My path through college didn't wind through a physics class either. Anything I know about physics I've learned from Hollywood.

Intuitor.com has brought it to my attention that this is a bad thing. More often than not Hollywood doesn't take its physics seriously, so Intuitor.com decided to review movies based on their portrayal of physics.

Here is a list of the four movies that earned an XP rating — "physics from an unknown universe":

The Core

Watch the movie and read the review.

Avatar

The Day the Earth Stood Still

Star Trek

While these movies may be entertaining, they won't help you pass your AP Physics exam. It's important to know the difference.
