Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that’s an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.

I’ll go first: I think “Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows” was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.

    Was that the laser ship one?

      Yeah, probably! That’s the one where:

      • The Earth’s core has stopped spinning, collapsing the magnetosphere
      • The only way to restart the core is (obviously) to nuke it
      • The crew has to therefore take a ship down to the core, normally impossibly because of temperatures and pressures past the mohorovicic discontinuity
      • But luckily they have Unobtainium! And they make a ship out of it with a laser on front so they can drive down to the core
      • There’s a weird side plot about how the techie guy supporting the team actually invented Napster but it was stolen by his roommate
      • A standard Armageddon-style scifi adventure ensures. Except they go down. Instead of up.

        That was a decent movie lol. Did it end with the tech guy making a computer virus to share the story?

          That is more detail than I remember about it, haha. I should watch it again and see how it holds up.
