No actor is as much of a fixture in modern science fiction films as Keanu Reeves. Our experts used presentations and scholarly literature to assess the scientific accuracy of three of Reeves' SF films-
  • Chain Reaction (sonoluminescence, Allen)
  • The Matrix (energy production and storage, Stevenson)
  • A Scanner Darkly (alternative pharmacology, Morrisett)
