Engineer breaks down popular film scenes

From exoskeletons to self-driving cars to suits that recycle bodily fluids, these engineering concepts are often part and parcel of modern filmmaking. But how realistic are these depictions?

Professor Michael Milford, electrical engineer and Director of the QUT Robotics Centre, is a self-confessed avid movie geek.

In 2018, Milford spoke with create about the depictions of engineering in movies such as Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and classic action flick Speed.

“When analysing engineering concepts in the movies, you’ve always got to ask yourself, ‘How realistic is this?’,” he said. “‘How much of this is Hollywood magic?’”

Now, Milford is back to debate the viability of engineering concepts presented in five further films, including sci-fi blockbuster Elysium and psychological thriller Leave the World Behind.

Watch the full video below, and share your thoughts in the comments.
