Indeed, maybe something with Reptiles fighting intruding Humans (with a better plot, of course).



Yeah instead of taking Aliens and Titanic and smashing them together into one super-mega turd fest.

Glitter and Gigli come to my mind whenever thinking about bad movies.

Quit redeeming Nick Cage. He ruins movies, plain and simple. Probably a 95% success rate.

People don't go to Cameron movies for the plot, or the acting, or anything of substance really, they go to be entertained by pretty lights and colors for three hours.

Inaccuracies are hardly a reason for someone to hate a movie. Plenty of movies have inaccuracies in their plots, I base my opinions on movies on the quality of the movie as a whole, not on accuracy.

examples?


I am not going to list anything that are spoilers, and I can't remember all of them, but a few listed by my friends who are in the military:

*The soldiers in one scene are all too close together while advancing. NATO militaries teach to keep a distance of up to 10ft in case of explosions, etc.

*The headsets the Marines are using are not used by the USMC, they're Canadian. (according to a friend who recently came back from A-stan).

*Abbreviation of Forward Operation Base is simply said as "fob" not "eff-oh-be".

*They called the Stryker a "LAV" (Canadian name and version).

*The ammunition shown were apparently Warsaw rounds, not NATO.

*Why were there ships off of the LA coast when they knew "meteors" were going to hit the area.

*"Meteors" don't reach a planets surface but burn up. "Meteorites" strike the Earth.

Thats as far as I am going to go for now. I don't remember all of them either, but my military friends were quite annoyed.

Good point, but there are several things wrong with it still. I liked the movie, but I wouldn't recommend it for military personnel who have experience with the real things.

I don't see any of those as a reason why the movie should never have been made. Most of them seem like either access issues (cheaper to use Canadian parts, maybe), exposition issues (spelling out f.o.b. lets people know it's an acronym, for example) or simple dramatic necessity ( while it's not good practise to group military closely, if the script needs them close together...)

That's pretty hilarious because I watched the one actor on The Daily Show and he said that the Director felt an obligation to get all the military shit right, or something like that. Obviously he did no such thing, which is certainly a disappointment.
