EDUCATIONAL PURPOSE
We select movies that have an educational purpose, contain as much science as possible, with a fair amount of science fiction. We will stop the viewing at key intervals to discuss and learn: what are the scientific elements; did they get the science right; is there a cinematic technique that highlights the science; etc. The movies will generally be rated PG or PG-13. Some mature language may be expected. Parental discretion is advised.
