Science in "Day after Tmr"

Featured Replies

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)

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.

"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.

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.

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.

pseudo or better yet, bad science is the key of the whole movie. but other than that, it's a good flick.

What are your thoughts on "The Core"?

You don't want to KNOW what my thoughts are on The Core.

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. :P

 

Pretty strong narctraffic.. isn´t it?

ah...come on

Why? Is it a bit of rubbish? If yes, we're in the same boat!

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).

Oh yeah, that metal which gets stronger the hotter it becomes. Could such thing ever be invented? And how would it work?

Perhaps it was antimatter.

 

Antimatter destroys matter, they would have been killed...

Not if they were all antimatter! But then, it becomes a paradox!

See! The 'science' in The Core is so bad that just reading its name corrupts our ability to think clearly

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?

I ignored the science right from the start, and I still found it tedious, banal and predictable.

I even thought that it was a load of rubbish. Entertaining, but the science in there was absolutely nil!

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 :(
