Cassandra Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Planet of the Apes (1968) In 1972 a spacecraft is launched from Earth to a planet 300 light years away on a flight expected to take 2000 years. The three surviving Crew Members discover a society run by talking apes who enslave mute savage humans. The lone survivor discovers that the ship has returned to a future Earth devastated by a nuclear war. The main plot whole is who would fund a mission that would never actually return for thousands of years. Why choose a star 300 light years away when the nearest star is 4 light years ago, a mere 30 years flight time? And if the ship is traveling close to the speed of light then the flight time to a star 300 years ago would be just over 300 hundred years.

Starlord Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Indiana Jones has absolutely no effect on the plot of Raiders. Nazis would get ark, get destroyed by ark, ark goes back to being hidden where no one will find it. Pariah and Cassandra 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundog Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Citizen Kane (1941) The primary plot is driven by a reporter seeking the meaning of Charles Foster Kane's last word, "Rosebud". The journalist interviews many people important in the life of Kane (a powerful newspaper magnate and one-time Presidential Candidate), and in flashback we see the important events of Kane's life, and learn of the man, his successes, and his failures. Ultimately, the journalist's quest is unsuccessful, though the audience does get to see the answer to the riddle in the final scene. However, the opening scene, of Kane on his deathbed, makes it clear he is alone - there is no one to hear his whispered final word.

Well, except that he does save the girl and is responsible for placing the Ark in the custody of the US government. Presumably, had he not been there, the Nazis would have been the ones to recover it, seeing as they knew of it's existence and nobody else did.

Pariah Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 Prince Hans effectively ascends to the throne of Arindell despite the fact that: a ) Nobody checks to see if Crown Princess Anna is actually dead, and b ) There is no one and no way to verify that they actually exchanged wedding vows before she 'died in [his] arms'.

death tribble Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 How is no-one dead in Gotham following the detonation of the bomb in The Dark Knight Rises ? How does Batman survive it either ? Why does no-one from outside intervene when all the police are trapped in said film ? Also why did all the police go down the one hole ?

Cassandra Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 In Superman 3 a idiot savant computer expert manages to take over all the weather satellites allowing a ruthless billionaire to control the weather. Weather satellites only report the weather, not control it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
death tribble Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 In Man of Steel, Superman to get back at a trucker petulantly destroys his truck with telegraph poles taking out telephone communication for people who have not done harm to him. He also takes a fight against Kryptonians into downtown Smallville endangering civilians which the real Superman would never do. This includes throwing one of the Krytonians into a working railyard which has trains going through it.

Marcus Impudite Posted February 12, 2018 Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 The first film in the Purge franchise was a basic home invasion thriller, even though committing a home invasion on Purge night wouldn't really be such a hot idea. If you don't get my meaning, consider the following: you're breaking into someone's home on the one night of the year that the homeowner can do anything they want to you and not worry about whether or not it meets the legal definition of self-defense. Best case scenario, they kill you the instant they catch you in their house. Worst case scenario, the sky's the limit as to what nasty things they might do to you before they get around to finishing you off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassandra Posted February 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2018 In Batman v. Superman the Man of Steel is blamed for a village being wiped out, while Luthor had the people killed with special bullets before he arrived. The bullets are how Lois traced them to Luthor. Why use special bullets at all? It's not like Superman was known for using guns. massey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Yeah, like with POTA mentioned above. You pretty much have to ignore why apes on another planet would pick up English (of course, we also have to ignore why Earth apes are speaking 20th century English in the 40th century) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
