bloodhound Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 i just watched "Day After Tomorrow" and i have to admit there was some funky special efffects. But is any of the science in the movie any good? does the change in current, affect the weather to such extent? Is it possible for tempreture to change at 15 degrees a second. The bit when it says the cold air is sucked from the stratosphere and is sucked to the ground fast enough for it to not get warm? doesnt that involve the air to travel at immense velocity? Can the air travel that fast?(on earth of course)
Lance Posted June 9, 2004 Posted June 9, 2004 AHG! THAT MOVIE SUCKED! Ok sorry, No the whole concept was phony. As soon as the air came to the surface it would compress and heat up. If it did not compress then they would have suffocated. You can’t have it both ways. The only reason the air up there is that cold is because it is thin. Ya the effects were nice and it kept me entertained, but the science sucked, not to mention they blatantly forced liberal views on me the whole movie.
-Demosthenes- Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 "Mexico has opened up it's borders to United States refugees as the president as forgiven all Latin American Debt" (Or something like that, I don't remember verbatum) Made me laugh.
fafalone Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 It's an appalling insult to science... but what do you expect from the same people responsible for Independence Day... I'm not saying either are bad movies, in fact I think they're both very entertaining, but you have to suspend your knowledge of science to enjoy it.
NSX Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 What are your thoughts on "The Core"? A fellow said they had good Physics ... for about 15 mins. or so. :/ I'm still wondering whether to watch it or not.
admiral_ju00 Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 pseudo or better yet, bad science is the key of the whole movie. but other than that, it's a good flick.
Sayonara Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 What are your thoughts on "The Core"? You don't want to KNOW what my thoughts are on The Core.
AtomicMX Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 "Mexico has opened up it's borders to United States refugees as the president as forgiven all Latin American Debt" (Or something like that' date=' I don't remember verbatum)Made me laugh.[/quote'] Any problem with México? Only as a funny comment, some years ago, the narcs (narcotrafic managers) sent a message to the president saying that if the police, army and PGR stoped to chace them, they would pay our debt to U.S.A. Pretty strong narctraffic.. isn´t it?
NSX Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 You don't want to KNOW what my thoughts are on The Core. ah...come on
aommaster Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 You don't want to KNOW what my thoughts are on The Core. Why? Is it a bit of rubbish? If yes, we're in the same boat!
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 i just watched "Day After Tomorrow" and i have to admit there was some funky special efffects. But is any of the science in the movie any good? Science? What science? There's no science! I think the funniest part of The Core is the super metal, which I like to call "Unubtanium" (for unubtainable).
aommaster Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Oh yeah, that metal which gets stronger the hotter it becomes. Could such thing ever be invented? And how would it work?
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 I doubt it. You'd need to strengthen the bonds in the atoms as it heats up, but normally heat weakens them. I mean, always.
aommaster Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 hmmm.... maybe there is an atom behaviour reverser!
Tesseract Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Perhaps it was antimatter. Antimatter destroys matter, they would have been killed...
aommaster Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Not if they were all antimatter! But then, it becomes a paradox!
aommaster Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 hmmm.... yeah, after thinking about it further, it doesn't!
Sayonara Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 See! The 'science' in The Core is so bad that just reading its name corrupts our ability to think clearly
aommaster Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 lol! Yeah! its fun when you don't consider the scienec in it. After you bring that in, it becomes a disaster! Any movies that actaully have good science in ti, something that really is possible?
Sayonara Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I ignored the science right from the start, and I still found it tedious, banal and predictable.
aommaster Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I even thought that it was a load of rubbish. Entertaining, but the science in there was absolutely nil!
aommaster Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 Just imagine the other people that don't really understand about it. They would think that what is going in the movie is true! I feel a lot of pity for them
