Did he say 'Seven Million miles per Hour'??


That's about a 90th of the speed of light-faster than anything in this Solar System (apart from light)...!!

So-what is the point of films like this -they're like porn without the -well, porn. Pointless. Not funny.
And a waste of EVERYBODYS time.

This is definitely one of the worst I've seen. It really does seem like SyFy doesn't care. Someone should create a legit sci-fi channel. Flashback movies from earlier decades that were actually good. New, thought provoking films with a budget of more than $10.

Sadly, I'm wasting two more hours on Abraham Lincoln vs Zombies.

Well, shows like this one can actually teach a lesson, so time is not necessarily totally wasted.

Today's lesson is:
Everyone should take STEM classes.
Perhaps more emphasis on the individuals who might get or have a public forum is in order.


And off we go now...

isn't the speed of light something like 700 million mph ?

reply

In miles per hour, the speed of light is 669,600,000 miles per hour. So, no, 7 million miles per hour is no wear near 90% of the speed of light. Seven million miles per hour is 1,944.4 miles per second or 1% of the speed of light.

The above is not to be construed as endorsement of this movie. It was terrible. Its just this isn't one of the screw ups.
