Did anybody watch 10.5 on NBC?
California Can't fall into the pacific; the San Andreas Fault is a lateral strike-slip fault!
And no I didn't watch it for that very reason.
I hate movies with bad science!

didnt see it...
but I am the same way...although half the time its just plain laughable...like Armageddon...the bad science in that one made me fall out of my chair laughing in the theatre...during not so laughable points in the plot...
You should definitely check out this one, then:
... that's not food.
Are you serious?
I love his search engine.
Hahah, we were watching that last night, and this dude was all into it. I was just letting it slide until the part where they were hopping around on that asteroid like it was earth. Uh, I dont think that little asteroid has that much gravity folks.Originally Posted by Ike
actually...my favorite was the space station with "artifical gravity" in the wrong direction...that set the tone for the rest of the movie...
I watched the first half of 10.5. I never knew the earth could open up directly under a railroad track and nowhere else for several miles! How life-like.
THANK GOD I'M A SOONER!
We can always hope can't we?Did anybody watch 10.5 on NBC?

I remember reading an article about 10.5 and they were talking to some seismologists who were just ripping the movie to shreds.
One good quote from that article was:
"I wish they would have talked to at least one seismologist before making this movie."
How about "Twister" for bad science? Nothing like having a seeing-eye tornado follow your *** halfway across the midwest.
How about weird science, like you could make a woman from a home computer, yeah, right!
Remember that scene in 'Searching for Bobby Fischer' when Bruce Pandolfini (played by Ben Kingsley) throws all of Josh Waitzkin's chess pieces across the floor? The resulting echo was one you'd get in a great hall, not a room the size of the one they were in. I'm sure it was done for effect, but it's not a science fiction movie... I'm supposed to suspend disbelief to that extent?
I don't think so.
stupid foley artists!
Speaking of stupid foley artists, I was watchin' a movie the other day, had some dude printing something out on an inkjet printer -- the sound effect was that old dot matrix sound. It was a minor detail -- but it amused me
I just wanted to say I hate Michael Crichton. Thanks for making this thread possible.
well since sound doesn't travel through a vacuum you'd never hear anything in space.
So much for space movies.
almost as bad is when they mess up stuff with the guns in movies... my dad always points that out (such as "that gun only holds 15 rounds", etc.) my favorite is when someone thinks a gun isn't loaded just because they dropped the clip out.
When we were watching Stargate GHP's roommate kept pointing out how many times the sound guys added a gun-cocking sound. unnecesary...
"I'm a mother****ing party all by myself."
Yeah. The sonic bomb that Boba Fett used in space in one of the newer movies...
that was just sad.
And don't get me started on mitochondria-COUGH-I mean midiclorians.
Geek check. I failed.
The Dude abides.
10.5 rocked your face off!
I loved the part where they initially thought the nuclear bombs were working to stabilize the fault and one of the president's advisors turns and says to him, "Sir, if this works. You'll be elected for another 5 straight terms." The president's reply was, "You idiot. A US president can only be elected to 3 consecutive terms. It says so in the by-laws of the US constipation."
Then Lil John stepped in and said, "Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! Yeeeeeeeeah!"
