Five Million Years to Earth is a HORRIBLE film!!  It's one of those schlock
things where the scientist sees something inexplicable, dreams up a 
ridiculous (i.e. almost totally unsupported by evidence) explanation for it,
and this explanation is taken as fact for
the rest of the movie.  Movies like this spread more wrong ideas about science
than creationism!  (well, maybe I'm exaggerating a little...)  If it
were about the occult it would be a pseudo-science fiction film.  Perhaps it
should be called an anti-science fiction film?  In fact, the more I think
about this, the more I like the connection with creationism.  The 'science'
in a movie like this is very much like the 'science' in creationism -- based
on nonunderstanding of what science is really about, based on jumping to
conclusions, etc.
