Re: What are your least favorite unrealistic movie things?

I know what you're talking about. In one of the Star Trek series, I remember all these laser rays zapping about, and one no-name crewman got disintegrated. It would have been nice for someone to yell "Bob!", just to acknowledge that someone died. So in that sense, I get what you're saying.

However, when films are rooted very much in our reality (vs a scifi or other kind of alternate setting), I often think about the mass casualties that must be there among the carnage, but I also think it's not an accident that there's no reference to that in the film. It hits a lot closer to home as it is, because it IS our world, and to see people dying or looking for their dead would probably make it too traumatic for some people.

I was VERY aware of this when watching Man of Steel - while you see virtually no one die, I was aware that many many people were being killed, and it kind of bugged me.

So I think the giant wrecks and mass destruction are, in most cases, deliberately impersonal within films.
