re: How much can bad science in Sci-Fi break immersion?

I just watched Hurt Locker for the first time, I think I sprained one of my eyes rolling them too hard. I can't say bad science has affected me that much, with the possible exception of a horrible time-travel explanation.

I heard too many bad things, so I ditched it. A lot of military films get it close because they listen to their advisors.
The Gold Standard for me is Blackhawk Down - it didn't get every single detail precisely correct, of course, but Ridley Scott's effort is evident.
For science fiction, I don't like the inconsistencies about how long it takes to get places/travel distances - generally it is whatever the plot requires which is off-putting (and insulting to the intelligence). I don't mind sound in space - for engines, I imagine that's the rumble you hear (and would hear) from inside. Although weapons fire and explosions are no Bueno.
