Default The Worst Aviation Movie of All Time

Star Wars III wins that battle (is flying in space really flying?). I'm
thinking of the scene where ObiWan thanks Anakin for saving his life
again. I don't think I have ever heard cheesier dialog (except perhaps
later in the same film)


Star Wars III was a terrible movie overall. Not only was the dialogue
rotten, but too many of the scenes were too far-fetched even for
diehard science fiction/fantasy fans such as myself. It was simply
impossible to suspend disbelief. It started with the space battle --
spaceships firing hard weapons without recoil, and objects that are
destroyed are harmlessly blown up instead of sending millions of
shards having the same total mass into the defender. Then, the big
battleship is shot down and for some reason everyone falls toward the
nose of the ship even though it is in orbit. If its artificial gravity
is disabled then everyone should become weightless.

But the thing that was really over the top was the final battle on the
lava flow. No one gets burned or hurt until Darth Vader is defeated.
Then, and only then, do the movie makers remember that lava is hot.
Still not hot enough to be a threat to Obi Wan, though.
