@Micron No as long as it’s a movie talk, I appreciate any kind of input.
@The_Doc_Man I think it’s the first time I‘m not with you and actually I think you are wrong.
I know what you mean about suspending disbeliefs. I’m with you as long as it’s a science fiction. I suspend my disbelief and accept the scene where a device can take you back to future. Your mobile or my car navigation system may be something that was used in a 007 movie long before any of them were invented. I enjoy watching Avatar and accept somewhere in far future a trip to another planet and live there and start killing the native inhabitant in a virtual shape is possible.
But you can not change the physics rules because it’s a movie.
You can not accept a movie scene where the actor drops something from a hight and instead of falling, it goes up. It’s against gravity and will NEVER happen in any future or any age. If you let go something, it falls off, it won’t go upward. What me and perhaps
@Micron is saying, is not about imagination. It’s about impossibilities in action movies.

Action movies that defies physics rules. What happens in recent action movies in not imagination, it’s a bunch of impossibilities that will never ever happen.
I’ve told it before and tell it again. Lies in movies are common but it depends on how a director offer the lie. ET is a fiction movie, but no matter how many times you watch it, you still find it interesting. Because the director shows a fiction and not something impossible. I’ve seen movies where the actor jumps from an airplane to another. No matter how deep you’re hypnotized and feel yourself in the scene, as soon as you see something like that, you wake up and think how is it possible at all. So an acceptable lie is different with an impossible action.
What you said about imagination and how it helped to have orbital satellite, they came true because they don’t break physics rules.
Some movies laugh in the face of physics. How they may be a reality in future?
John Matrix Plants Bombs Outside...Which Explode From The Inside (Commando). As a Navy man, do you think will it be possible at all?
Just when we thought the Fast and the Furious franchise couldn't get anymore ridiculous, director Justin Lin proves us wrong with sixth entry, which pushes the envelope even closer towards mayhem not far off what we'd expect to see in a cartoon. The scene in question has Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) sitting atop a tank which is catapulted over a freeway, sending her flying into the air, surely to her grisly demise when she impacts upon the freeway pavement. Dom (Vin Diesel), however, has different ideas, driving his car into a guardrail while sitting on top of it, catapulting him through the air, allowing him to catch Letty (who probably should have hit the pavement by now), and land on a passing car. Of course, suffers severe internal injuries despite flying through the air at an unimaginable speed and landing on a sheet of metal travelling who-knows-how-fast. And yet, it works.
Those who are interested, can sit and watch it as a cartoon.
For me, It’s not imagination. It’s a perfect nonsense. Some may enjoy watching it, but for sure not me, nor any movie lover.
That’s why a movie in this rank never find its way to a well known awards.
