So I have been watching bad disaster movies.
Why?
.... They amuse me, greatly.
So there was one I was watching where I couldn't even get into the premise.
The movie? Meltdown: Days of Destruction.
Th premise? Oh hold to your computers... a company wants to test their asteroid moving bomb system when one of the scientist at the company says (basically) 'We don't know what this asteroid is made of if we test we can die!' people ignore him and do the test and oh no!!! the bomb broke the asteroid in to 3 pieces and the biggest is coming close to earth! Time for crazy!
bullshit science # 1 the chunk of asteroid doesn't hit earth but apparent passes close enough to push earth into a closer orbit. This means the earths temperatures are going to rise into deadly levels!! with the top temp being.... 150... um yes that's hot but not everyone is boiling to death bad more like... we have to live underground now... and on the water...
bullshit science #2 there is a scene where cars start exploding because the heat is so high its making the gas boil and the engine to backfire. they show the scientist dude holding a thermostat reading the temp outside and it reads...... 129.... fahrenheit if that F is to be believed. ummmmmmmmmm a bullshit. I looked this up online..... this is a Canadian movie but.... Movie directors do everyone a favor: STUDY ABOUT THE WORLD!!!!!!!! PLEASE!! Phoenix summers can hit 130 and trust me our cars aren't just blowing up all the time. Gasoline needs to be at 160 to boil as well. Also boats will not be blowing up on the water and planes wont be blowing up in the air.
bullshit science #3 everyone but the main characters and main bad guy looks like they where in a nuclear explosion. Ok Again ARIZONA!! these people are shown with hats or other head coverings... yes you can get bad sunburns but 3rd degree fire-esq burns... no Ive had a bad sunburns. even one almost 3rd degree once cause my sunblock wore of faster than expected and younger people where more important to sunblock than myself. look again Canada made this movie so bullshit character thing #1 is everyone is wearing layers and long sleeves and pants even when inside or at night but the burns your showing on their body are not possible with the amount of clothing covering. These are the kind of burns people get when they lay on the hot asphalt for like an hour at the hottest part of the day. not someone running around.
Also back to the clothing thing, this wearing long sleeved clothing is good in extreme conditions cause it can not only provide protection but you can get it damp to keep you cooler longer even when its hot. But you also put yourself at risk for heat stroke if you actually don't keep them damp at lest around their neck to keep their brain cool so you don;t die. But in order for that to work you have to remove some of that clothing at night or inside because your body is going to be excessively hot and you need to let it some of it be released. That is why in more accurate movies and TV shows people in extreme desert climates who may wear a lot outside will take off a vest or face scarf when they get inside. This why i'm almost a nudist. I've almost had heat stroke once, I was so dehydrated and hot that once I could rest and re-hydrate I removed my outer layer of shirts poured water on my body/neck area to drop my body temperature a bit only to put on my dry shirt again to feel less like my death was on the horizon.
You have characters passing out from heat and dehydration and you cant remove one of those long sleeve shirts when your in a tunnel you know is 40 degree cooler than the outside world? No bad Canada! No cookie for you.
and bullshit science #4 of horrible stupidness. Scientist guy says if the earth moves back into its orbit you will know cause it will be raining... ohhhhh boy.... ok someone needs a lesson in the water cycle ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWb4KlM2vts) all you need for rain is moisture in the air and a slight drop in temp, if its so hot you probably have more evaporation happening and lost of hydrogen yeah but you will still have rain. Venus has rain. it just doesn't rain water.
but the characters are funnily bad and it amuses me.
