Implausibilities Galore
WHAT wrote this?
It's like an experimental, new A.I. algorhithm was given free range to write a.. what it thinks qualifies as a 'movie script', and then no human being checked it whatsoever.
Did Coco the monkey write this with sign language?
What is this??
Anyway, this movie has _way_ too many plotholes, implausibilities, stupidities, unrealistic bits, thoughtlessnesses (if this is a word), things it doesn't take into account - it's like a toddler's worldview was used to come up with solutions (as well as problems) and.. it's just so mindblowingly awful, and I really wanted to like this movie, as I have nothing against the actors, and the previous Wonder Woman movie was, I heard, pretty good.
So that out of the way, I want to focus on a couple of specifics (although, Lord knows, one could write a multi-volume encyclopedia book-style list of everything that's just bloody awful about this movie).
1) Checklists.
Do the makers, writers, directors, actors, set designers, special advisors, etc. know about airplanes, take-offs and such?
Does anyone involved in making this movie, know HOW MANY things a single pilot has to do before they can even begin starting to climb into the cockpit of a plane? How many things there are to check, including the runway (for rocks, pebbles, etc. that could pose a danger or possibility for damage, just as an example)?
Do these people know just how long a jet pilot checklist is in modern times, and all the things they have to do before it's even safe to think about turning on the engines?
There s _no_ way a museum could have a plane that's SO ready to fly, someone can just jump in, bypass all the checklists and all the safety checks, runway checks, etc. and just fly away.
The thing about airplane fuel,... should I go on? Anyway, even in commercial flights, fuel amounts are not fixed, but are based on the weight of the plane, whether it carries cargo or passengers, what distance it's going to travel, and so on.
So this movie is saying, a plane that's somehow optimally fueled for their exact load and distance, is kept in a _MUSEUM_?
What kind of .. how ... what. .who.. didn't they ask about planes before putting this into the movie? Didn't they ask _ANYONE_? Even someone that's playing flight simulators and never even seen a real plane, would have laughed them off if they suggested this kind of scene as something realistic.
There's just NO way a plane that's 100% ready for lift-off and is being maintained and kept optimally fueled, could be found in a friggin' MUSEUM, where the safety of the visitors is paramount, and thus would never store a FUELED PLANE, let alone maintain it and keep it in perfect flying and take-offing (?) condition at all times, and the whole runway situation..
I mean, HOW did this get greenlit? How??
