2012: Difference between revisions

** Bizarrely, the film then starts paying attention to the laws of physics again, just in time for said pyroclastic flow to utterly disintegrate Las Vegas airport (and, implicitly, the city itself). Guess the family had some [[Plot Armor]] in that plane of theirs.

* [[Cool Boat|Cool Boats]]: {{spoiler|The Arkships}}. And the Antonov An-225, dubbed "Antonov 500" in the film, makes a pretty [[Cool Plane]] too.

'''Yuri:''' ''(smiling proudly)'' It's Russian. <ref>It's technically (Soviet) Ukrainian, as only one model exists. An-225 is a one-off (essentially a stretched An-124 ''Ruslan'') built to carry the Buran shuttle in mid-80'es. There's a lot of talks about series production (or completing the second airframe, which was never finished), but as Antonov design bureau lacks production facilities and must rely on Russian plants, which are still in a pretty bad shape, nothing has come of it as of now.</ref> }}

* [[Death Course]]: From Kate's home to the Santa Monica Airport. And that was just the beginning.

* [[Physics Goof]]: The Earth is being destroyed because solar neutrinos are "mutating" into a form that heats the interior of the Earth like a microwave oven. In reality, solar neutrinos '''do''' mutate -- they change between electron, muon, and tau flavors during their travels in a process called [[wikipedia:Neutrino oscillations|neutrino oscillation]]. However, '''none''' of these neutrino flavors is capable of interacting with the Earth's interior.

** Mocked mercilessly by Dara O'Briain in his "This is the Show".

** Excellent example with Yellowstone. It manages an explosion probably measured in gigatons without any significant blast overpressure. Trees are flattened, but it abates within a mere mile or two - helpfully before obliterating all the major characters.

* [[Precision F-Strike]]: "''Get in the fucking car!''"

* [[What Measure Is a Non-Cute?]]: Averted ''hard'' with {{spoiler|Tamara}}.

* [[Your Princess Is in Another Castle]]: Jackson, after finding out that [[Oh Crap|the ships are in China.]]
