I'm not exactly boycotting it (I won't be going to see it), but from some previews I've determined that some of the scenarios it presents would be embarrassing to present even as science fiction. The idea that a wave washing over Manhattan could be instantly frozen is difficult to assume even presuming a condition of supercooling, for example.

This isn't even "junk science," it's "non-science." Or "non-sense."

Go see it if you want. Do post your review if you do, though... (and ping me to it?)

I'll go see it just because I want to see the special effects (which do look impressive) on the big screen. I couldn't care less about the so-called "science", either. I had no problems with enjoying Independence Day even though I suspected that we wouldn't really be able to upload an earthly computer virus to an alien system. Unless even on planet Mongo they're forced to use Windows, too.

You have to remember these are the same morons who in "Independence Day" had a woman and her dog in slow motion outrun an explosion in a tunnel.
