Things in movies that make no sense.

[cryptic name]

Here's something that made no sense. In "Transformers", when Bumblebee shrinks the Allspark down in the Hoover Dam, Megan Fox stares at it in awe and says "Oh my God" as if it was the most amazing thing she's ever seen. She's just seen huge robots fighting each other earlier in the movie, not to mention transforming as well, and this is what impresses her? Give me a break.

how about the fact that that scene was in the movie at all after they spent so much time telling us mass shifting would never work in a movie?

Or Frenzy's giant head turning into a little cell phone. Damn you, Bay!

 

[Ratcrawler]

That was a joke Fried Silver!

Actually, that joke makes more sense than the other answer. I'll buy that answer over the stupid "a time traveler could destroy all existence" crap.

Here's one for you; Why don't people ever sneeze just for the sake of sneezing?

 

[Warhammer]

That's time travel for ya...

What I would be more inclined to ask is why did his parents not ask questions when they're son grew up to be the guy who helped them in 1955...

Because Marty McFly never returned to where he came from. Him going back in time created a tangent timeline that he ended up going back to. Hence why his parents didn't meet him before, Biff ended up being George's b****, the truck in the garage, etc. He came back to a parallel dimension, at the same time as his departure point, thus why things didn't seem so different.

Time travel is something that could be debated about a million times, and there would still be more questions. Bring them on.

Why would they question it? They knew "Kevin Kline" for about 10 days, over 30 years ago, did you expect them to remember exactly what Kline looked like and notice the strong resemblance to their son thus questioning whether he is a time traveler from the future that they met 30 years before? And Marty grew up with them, his looks, like anyone's, slowly changes from child to adult.

George McFly: Wow, gee wiz honey, do you remember that Kevin Kline guy we met for a few days over 30 years ago? Well now that our son is 17, I think he looks just like him.

Lorraine McFly: Don't you know what that means, George? He's obviously an interstellar time traveler from '85 who traveled back to the 50s and met us! *gasp*

Why there's 200 Saw movies.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

 

[Spider-Vader]

Who wants to see Saw 200?

 

[phillyboy]

In Twister- There are cows, oil tankers & houses flying around them, yet their little truck stays firmly on the ground. WTF!!!

 

[NewYorkSpider]

If time travel is possible, nature would have safeguards to prevent paradoxes like this. If his present self was removed from the timeline (and put into the future), there wouldn't be a future version of his self because it isn't going to be assumed he made it back, because he hasn't yet. So no, I don't believe it would have been possible to do this.

Exactly!

 

[LexCorp]

Why there's 200 Saw movies.

I think it's about 13 now

 

[SPIDER-MAN-ROX]

Or that the humans use hot bullets to kill the bots, saying extreme heat hurts them, but how did they enter the atmosphere? Or Starscream leave it and set ablaze as he does?

And why hide the thing the evil monsters want in the middle of a crowded city???

The Autobots must have been in some sort of protective pods that were designed to gradually withstand the heat as they entered earth's atmosphere.
You see chunks of things breaking off around them as they get closer to earth so it is always a possibility.

 

[huskerwebhead]

In 28 Weeks later they decide to lock the refugees in a basement, standing room only, with no weapons or guards....and then turn all the lights off. WTF?! Who thought that was a good idea?

 

[bullets]

the ending of ocean's twelve ...wtf

 

[Galactus]

Personally I felt that almost nothing in Spider-Man 3 made much sense...

 

[Kanon]

The think that bothered me from Back to the Future was in Part II: Biff takes the time machine in 2015, goes back to 1955, screws things up, and goes back to an unaltered 2015? He should have arrived to a 2015 where he is a billionaire because of the calendar!

Why would they question it? They knew "Kevin Kline" for about 10 days, over 30 years ago, did you expect them to remember exactly what Kline looked like and notice the strong resemblance to their son thus questioning whether he is a time traveler from the future that they met 30 years before? And Marty grew up with them, his looks, like anyone's, slowly changes from child to adult.

I think George should investigate if his wife was still in touch with Calvin Kline...

 

[Poetic Chaos]

In Minority Report, why did the pre-cogs get a vision of John Anderton's crime when it's the vision itself that sets it in motion in the first place?

 

[Sloth7d]

That's a good question. Time travel and anything messing with destiny is always confusing in movies I guess.

 

[Moviefan2k4]

Because Marty McFly never returned to where he came from. He came back to a parallel dimension, at the same time as his departure point, thus why things didn't seem so different.

According to the DVD commentaries, Bob Gale states it this way: in the films' respective universe, the future a traveller goes to is an extrapolation of their present. The only "other dimensions" ever encountered in the trilogy were "Hell Valley" (aka "1985-A), and 2015-A (explaining why Biff is in so much pain when he returns from '55). That's why, in "Part II", Zemeckis & Gale gave Marty & Doc plenty of time to exit the future McFly home before Biff came back - so they wouldn't have to explain another alternate future in detail.

Basically movies featuring time travel are like the alternate dimensions in comic books. They exist, but aren't aware of each other apparantly.

eddie brock meet peter for less than a week, and goes to church crying " i wan't God to kill peter parker "

You could argue that all the events that happened between 1955 and 2015 happened across that timeline already.Marty already went back and retrived the book etc and fixed the alternate timeline.
Now what Im saying?
It isnt until Marty travels back to 1985 from 2015 that he can see the effects of that incident.

It would take 20 years to hack it in 10 seconds?

They were counting on no one in the audience to actually be in the IT field. Most people probably were like, "whoa, that **** is nuts."

They meant it would take 20 years to hack it with a supercomputer, versus the "decepticons" hacking it in 10 seconds.
