A pretty horrid film. The main players shocking lack of human compassion really turned me off.

This is funny if you can read and stuff:

This is like getting on a 747 and having the captain explain in great detail that the plane is rubber band powered, then add that it also has four jet engines.

:lol: that was pretty funny

Superman couldn&#39;t really fly, it denies the laws of physics. However he was a comic book character so we suspend disbelief to enjoy the movie.

I have yet to see The Force being identified by modern physicists, but again I won&#39;t get upset about it as Star Wars was just a film I liked.

Sorry if I missed the bit where The Matrix was described by it&#39;s makers as a science documentary.

Check out the full site, it makes for interesting reading. I like a good movie (hated Matrix mind) but it is quite good fun to read how the physics of the movie would bear up in the real world.

It&#39;s because of midichlorians.

Everybody knows that. :rolleyes:

i liked the matrix, but i think they should have left it at that. i think it came to a natural conclusion and should just have stopped rather than the sequels, whether they were originally planned or not.

i also liked the first men on the moon (which used anti gravity panels to get there). i liked journey to the centre of the earth which let&#39;s face it didn&#39;t really deal with the heat issues. lord of the rings was good too.

see, suspension of dis-belief is an important thing for these types of movies. you may think the matrix is shite, cool we don&#39;t all like the same thing. however to decry it or poor physics you really need to accept that is true for a lot of other movies as well. [/b][/quote]
It&#39;s all the episodes of MST3k that I&#39;ve watched that makes me laugh at things like silly physics, I find if a film is interesting then suspending dis-belief is easy otherwise it&#39;s ripe for a spot of "MST-ing."

Want inexcusable physics?

Watch Armageddon. It made me laugh, and this physics-teacher I know slightly miffed.

The site I linked to has a movie review of Armageddon. I like that movie though cos BW was in it. :01:

Sometimes I actually think that site is a little bit narrowminded, in some of its reviews.

But the Armageddon one hit the spot perfectly.

:lol: Ha ha this site is great. I love hearing science nerds bitching about the physics in movies. Sure, they make a good point but c&#39;mon it&#39;s a movie. Go bitch about something else. ;)
