Let us together with the online version of the magazine Popular Science recall the most vivid cinematic stupidity of the outgoing year: those that can cause rage only the smartest and those over whom would laugh even a first grader.So, in order of increasing stupidity.
«Amazing Spider-Man» (The Amazing Spider-Man)
The film received a special prize for the systematic violation of the law of conservation of mass.
Writers convince us that genetically modified spider bite Peter Parker freed from the laws of nature.Therefore it is not surprising that it comes out of a steep dive, being attached only to the cobweb, and without breaking a single bone of his superhuman body.
It should, however, pay tribute to director Marc Webb.First, he tried to remove as much as possible tricks live without resorting to computer graphics.Secondly, I consulted a physicist James Kakaliosom the University of Minnesota, who wrote the equation of cellular regeneration and dying - "the rate of decomposition algorithm" that allows to "explain" how a person could become a giant lizard.Of course, in this math anything like this can not be, but Mr. Kakalios enjoyed authentic equations, including the function Gompertz, which is used to describe the probability of surviving to a specified age, and reliability theory of aging and longevity Leonid and Natalia Gavrilova, they presentedin 1991 in his book "The Biology of life," and in 2001 - in the Journal of Theoretical Biology.
«Loop of time» (Looper)
Claims for this movie - usual stories about time travel: crime bosses send their enemies 30 years ago, that they destroyed special hired killer, "Looper".Science, however, said that the journey back in time is impossible or that the same, requires more energy than exists in the universe.
director Ryan Johnson, no doubt, knew about it and therefore came up with the following scene.When the hero of Joseph Gordon-Levitt in a cafe talking to himself from the future (Bruce Willis), and asks how time travel is possible, Willis says: "It is over diagrams of napkins and straws."Thus, Mr. Johnson is saying to the audience: take time travel for granted, because it is an art, and a convention is permissible.
«007: Coordinates" Skayfoll "» (Skyfall)
Suppose you are under the gun on the ice deep pond.Seizing the moment, you grab the enemy semiautomatic rifle and shot falls at your feet.You both fall into the icy water.A few minutes later you go out on the beach (thug suffocated under water), run through a few hundred meters and saving his comrades, easily throwing a knife in the back last opponent.
world record stay in an ice bath belongs to the Dutchman Wim Hofu nicknamed Iceman - 1 hour 52 minutes 42 seconds.But it's the only one, but a normal person in a similar situation quickly gets heavy hypothermia and die after about 15 minutes.Before that, the body will deflate the blood from your legs to keep warm even internal organs, and you are unlikely to be accurate throw knife.
But most authors PopSci annoying in this film that is related to computer science.They were especially exasperated scene in which a computer genius named Q tries to break the ever-changing "polymorphic encryption algorithm" that protects evil plans.It displays the algorithm on a giant screen, where he looks like a constantly mutating chain code, but Bond seconds password guessing Silva.No, it is clear that the visual effects blockbusters need, but why all this confusion, if the password is short little common set of symbols?
«The Avengers» (The Avengers)
So, six comic book characters gathered from across the universe to ... Whoa, this is enough to connoisseurs of film art and its time refrained from going to the movie.But the flying aircraft carrier, according to PopSci, too much even for such a nightmare.The secret organization "SHIELD" (Americans, unfortunately, have no idea how it sounds in Russian) has a secret landing base the size of an aircraft carrier of the "Nimitz" weighing about 110 thousand. Tonnes. The sky lift its four rotor diameterabout 35 m each.
physicist Ret Allen, a leading online Wired magazine blog Dot Physics, decided to figure out what actually led to such a machine to fly.It turned out that the engine power should be 1.21 GW (approximately twice the capacity of conventional engines of an aircraft carrier) and the diameter of each of them - 450 meters, with the air will have to be disposed at a rate nearly twice the sound.None known to earthlings material will not sustain such pressure rotor.Let Iron Man tries to get inside and run it.
«The Dark Knight Rises» (The Dark Knight Rises)
director Christopher Nolan as the basis of its summer blockbuster three comics, but bet on realism: the fictional Gotham looks like New York, and high-tech weaponryIt looks quite plausible.
Fortunately, this has not prevented the science to beat to a pulp, and in the literal sense.In one scene, the villain named Bane Batman spifflicate very well, and he is not only not dead, but only a few days was able to get out of jail, devoted several hours of fighting, and then told us all the story.
But the funny thing - an explosion of a thermonuclear bomb in a few kilometers from the big city.Batman just 90 out to carry an explosive device out of Gotham.Even if you believe in what he is able to race at speeds of 450 km / h and drop the bomb capacity of about 4 Mt above the bay for more than ten kilometers from the city, most of the city still would have been burned and destroyed.But onlookers quietly watching the way after a blinding flash in the distance rises a beautiful mushroom.Another blow to the gut science is the fact that they hear the roar at the same time, whereas in fact, the sound would take about a minute to reach the Gotham.
«Recall» (Total Recall)
remake of "film with Schwartz 'World War I left only two inhabited territory - colonies located in an area formerly known as Australia, and the United Federation of Britain.To get from one to the other is possible through "gravitational elevator" through the center of the Earth.The trip takes a measly 17 minutes.
Forget for a moment about the horrors of the temperature and pressure at the Earth's crust and the absence of any suitable material capable of withstanding these conditions (not to mention the fact that such material will need almost 13 thousand km.).Even if a train falls into a hole and pops up on the other side of the planet, he will leave it more than 40 minutes.In other words, the vehicle is moving at a speed of about 50 thousand. Km / h, it is necessary to achieve acceleration in 10g.The worst roller coaster accelerated to 4g, and in the region 9g most people are turned off.Well, suppose that in the future, invent a kind of antigravity technology, but still energy costs are too high, and the viability of such a lift in doubt.
«Prometheus» (Prometheus)
Oh, this Ridley Scott!The audience had high hopes for a prequel to the "alien" and received a hodge-podge of abuse of science and common sense.
in countless light years from Earth android is not able to correctly calculate the time.On the question of the duration of the flight, he replies: "2 years 4 months 18 days 36 hours 15 minutes."A was "two years 4 months 19 days 12 hours and 15 minutes."Moreover, members of the crew awakened from their slumber never met each other - and this is the most time consuming and expensive project of humanity!
Next - worse.Scientists and mercenaries go off the ship and get to the alien temple.Light never seen a more incompetent and irresponsible archaeologists!They take off helmets in a few minutes after leaving the ship.It does not matter that there is oxygen and almost earth pressure in a strange atmosphere can be highly toxic and virulent strains.However, these people still clear after some time they touch the awful-looking aliens, and, of course, die a terrible death.Then make a terrible head on the ship and process them electric shocks until they explode the most brutal manner.And only after that unfortunate travelers decide to make a map of the temple.
Perhaps this is the best movie about the mediocre organized expeditions to distant planets.
