While you can still count on one hand the number of science fiction films that
portrayed science and its practitioners with any level of accuracy, it appears that
the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is finally making an attempt to help
Hollywood do a better job in this long-neglected area of cinema history:

To quote:

The Science & Entertainment Exchange is a program of the National Academy of Sciences that provides entertainment industry professionals with access to top scientists and engineers to help bring the reality of cutting-edge science to creative and engaging storylines.

Their blog is interesting:

Not that guys like Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay won't continue to ignore
physics and other aspects of scientific reality at their whims (Armageddon has to
be one of the biggest violators of science I have ever seen in terms of a film with
lots of resources and money that could have done better if they so chose, and
the similar film Deep Impact which came out in the same year - 1998 - proved
that), but now they will no longer have an easy excuse when they say they didn't
have the time, money, or people to get the science right.

People get a lot of their visceral "education" about science and the world in general
from films, whether they or anyone else want to realize it or not. So the least
those responsible and able can do is throw in a few facts now and then with their
cinematic product while the public consumes their five dollar container of popcorn.

There isn't much hope for this year's crop of crap, but maybe by next summer....
