question about movies - Gravity related - if there are errors (like physics stuff) does it bug you and take you out of the movie?

Posted by JenBro Oct 7 '13, 09:26

I don't know if Gravity has these ... it's just a friend gets bummed at how often movies don't check factual stuff - like physics or historical reference - to make sure things are accurate ... and for him it kinda spoils the movie.

Me? not so much - frequently, I don't know they are wrong - but also - I'm willing to suspend my disbelief and go with whatever's put up on the screen for the sake of it being a film and not real lift.

Prometheus had the most glaring one for me, but that movie was comical anyway. comical crap - CQ Oct 7, 09:34 3
- and fast zombies. That pisses me off -- nm - CQ Oct 7, 09:36 2
  - fast zombies are skeery ... was driving home last night - blustery rainy night - dark country roads - and I kept looking for deer and was totally - JenBro Oct 7, 09:42 1

Your pal can post 'bloopers' factoids to IMDb, suspend disbelief... - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Oct 7, 09:30 2
- yep - and I totally get this ... he's just one of those brilliant people that know "stuff" and remembers everything - an idetic (sp?) memory? often - JenBro Oct 7, 09:34 1
  - to clarify too ... the one's that really bug him aren't the complex mistakes - but simple ones - where someone just clearly didn't care to fact check - JenBro Oct 7, 09:38
If there were something glaring, absolutely. Terminator Salvation had one that took me out of the movie and still bugs me.\ -- nm - David Oct 7, 09:28 1
- There were a couple of moments that bugged me a bit. That's why it was an A instead of an A+ for me. Obviously it didn't kill it for me. -- nm - pmb Oct 7, 09:32
