Then I judge them like fantasy not science fiction. Sort of like comic book movies and Star Wars movies. You have to have some actual science to call it science fiction. The one who use bad science bother me more than the ones who use not science at all. Matrix is a great example of one that uses very bad science, the idea that you could use human as batteries is not only stupid it is lazy.

...and the Matrix is a good example. I could theoretically accept as a fantasy premise that humans could be used as batteries, even though I know the idea is scientifically bunk, but I can't accept that AND ignore the fact that if the AIs could use organic creatures as batteries, they would have a lot less trouble using cattle or lobotomized humans as batteries. Or just simulate a 'Matrix' set in the year 1600 so your human subjects have no way to escape or cause trouble.
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.
Is there an uncanny valley of sci-fi hardness?

There are ways you could make sense of the Matrix if you try. (Doing so is of course absurd.)

But do you want to tell a story or do you want to make it "realistic?"
