* [[Fridge Logic]]: This film suffers from some scientific inconsistencies, particularly when it comes to the EMP that knocked out most of the electronics around each "storm." For example, when the first tripod emerges, someone is clearly seen operating a video camera, which should have been rendered useless by the EMP. Later, a news crew ''managed to film one of the lightning bolts''.▼

** If I understand it correctly, EMP only knocks out devices that have a current running through them at the time, so any electronics that weren't on when the EMP hit should operate after.
*** You are incorrect, an EMP is dangerous because the magnetic pulse will disrupt any and all electronics within its range.

*** Cars of that era had no EMP-vulnerable electronics in their power trains. This was decades before embedded processors.
** My dad, being the armchair survivalist that he is, owns a "farady case" for his digital camera that claims it can protect any electronics inside it from the effects of EMP. Of course, I have no idea if such claim is true or he just bought some expensive crappy case that really does nothing.

** I picture an alien [[Futurama|Zapp Brannigan]] planning this thing.
