Movies magic comes from the suspension of disbelief

Armageddon. The whole mission to the asteroid where they have to drill a hole and blow the thing up. It could have been an interesting movie, but the whole space mission blew the movie for me.

I can suspend reality for a movie like Star Wars which doesn't pretend to be real, but when a movie attempts to be realistic and fails, it is very noticable.

Apollo 13 proved that you can have a scientifically accurate movie and still be very entertaining.
