To movie reviewers: if a movie has large elements of fiction, do not be surprised if it has small elements of fiction. For example, do not complain that in an animated movie about monsters attacking aliens, it is unrealistic that the mutant 50-foot tall woman would use cars as roller skates because of the mechanics of a car’s wheels vs. a real rollerskate. I mean seriously: in a CGI movie where a 50-foot tall woman teams up with a band of monsters to attack alien invaders, you are going to tell me that something in that is unrealistic? WOW!
Similarly for the Back To The Future movie, where critics out that Plutonium doesn’t glow… so wait, there’s something unrealistic about the depiction of the Plutonium… powering the time traveling car… that ends up being a flying, fusion-powered time traveling car? DUH!














Good point! Sometimes we simply must allow ourselves to be entertained.
