Line 13:
*** Astronauts are trained to within an inch of their lives to meet dangerous situations while avoiding panic-just listen to the tapes of ''Apollo 13'' after the explosion. And the loss of one member ''is'' acceptable, but it's a bit much to expect them to not even ''consider'' rescuing a crewmate they had known and trained with for months if not years.
** They're obviously grumpy that the old, experienced guy is coming along with them. [[Sarcasm Mode|How very professional]].
*** People have emotions that aren't always logical? [[Reality Is Unrealistic|How unlike real life.]]
* When Leo gets to the house to ask Sarah to marry him, her father is obviously already concerned about home security. The neighborhood is already heading downhill - the area is a mess, and he's chaining up his motorcycle plus affixing bars to the windows. Where is his daughter? ''Out on her own, unsupervised, far away from the house!'' Nice to see he has his priorities straight.
** Yeah, it's amazing that he programmed his daughter's restraining bolt so poorly that she's capable of taking actions he didn't approve of on her own. What a bad parent.
* Why are there helicopters hovering over the traffic jam in the establishing shot? It's a few hours until impact! They can't be news choppers - there shouldn't be anyone home to broadcast to! What news organization has a staff ''that'' dedicated and wouldn't want to be home with their family?
** "Nyah-nyah! ''We're'' in helicopters and ''you're'' stuck on the highway!"
Line 23 ⟶ 24:
* Why is ''everyone'' waiting until the last moment to evacuate? They had hours warning to evacuate the eastern seaboard.
** Well, it's not like there was anywhere to go. Most of them were probably planning to shelter in place until they found out that they would be sheltering under 2,000 feet of water. And they did have hours' worth of warning to evacuate the Eastern Seaboard... is that anywhere close to the time needed to evacuate 40-100 million people? Nope. But they should have known the final trajectory of Biederman for ''days'' before impact, so the real question is, why didn't evacuations begin long, long beforehand?
** How long do you think an evacuation takes?
* Why are almost all of the families of the astronauts available to say their goodbyes? Wouldn't you think that having your husband or wife on a mission that has the potential to ''save the planet'' would mean a guaranteed spot in the underground bunker? With ''hours'' until impact, wouldn't they already be in there?
