What is the most scientifically accurate hard SF movie?

Interstellar?

I read "The Science of Interstellar" recently and although there's lots of artistic license in the movie they did employ Kip Thorne for visualizing much of it (including the brane math) and tried to make the most "accurate" depictions of black holes and theoretical wormholes etc.

The criterion is a well-known movie in which the technology is completely convincing and no laws of physics are broken.

My own choice is Europa Report. I didn't come across anything that offended my overdeveloped sense of scientific realism. On a par with it is Apollo 13 though the latter does make the crew react in ways more excitable and emotional than their real-life counterparts did.

Europa Report seems scientifically accurate to me. One of my favs.

Isn't Ad Astra meant to be pretty realistic?

I'm probably a bit late with this post, but for me, the best use of "hard SF" in the cinema would have to be the 1971 production of "The Andromeda Strain" from the novel by Michael Crichton, directed by Robert Wise. It concerns a group of scientists (who for once look like scientists, rather than a bunch of film stars) trying to prevent a plague spreading after a microbe from outer space has been brought to Earth in a space probe. It's well worth checking out, but whatever you do, avoid at all costs the dismal remake.

Santa Claus Conquers the Martians ?

I thought Moon Zero Two was pretty decent as hardish sci fi. Was a bit off on a few things, like a sapphire asteroid, but otherwise decent.

Gravity shows debris moving slow enough to be visible to the human eye and Kowalski cuts himself loose needlessly since he doesn't actually exert any weight on the parachute cord.

So it is bad because it allows the audience to actually observe the debris, and it is scientifically inaccurate for someone to make a mistake?

Or is the mistake yours for mistaking mass and inertia for weight?
