The stupidity of inaccuracy

Rating: 2/10 (17 August 2013)

This movie contains just to many errors. OK of course a director could bend the laws of physics a bit in his favor, but this was just to much to handle. It starts with the opening scene, lots of really ugly edited sped up shots of 2 cars racing. For some reason a charger can keep up with a GTR, but OK. Then, since when is a landing strip 20 miles long? The airplane scene just doesn't seem to end, and when it does, hey there's the end of the runway... finally... after 15 minutes of 100mph driving and fighting. Also there are cars flying trough the aircraft as if it was made out of cardboard... Everybody is shifting gears (with the lever) in cars with automatic transmissions (also the ones with paddles on the wheel) probably to make it seem like they are driving "really fast". Please just hire pro drivers, put a camera on a lower point of view and actually drive fast, it will look fast. The tank is an ugly prop, when it breaks out of the truck it's in the canon hangs loose as if it's not even bolted to the tank. Someone slapped on some parts to hide the actual tank and the director doesn't even know what he's dealing with because in interviews he is talking about a WWII tank, but in fact it's a British Chieftain tank first build in the 1960s. (i believe WWII only lasted until 1945) It's driving over cars as if they are not even there (ok a tank can do that) but when he gets to the car of one of the main characters, for some reason that car just gets pushed forward for 2 minutes. Also apparently in Spain its the middle of the day while it's midnight in London (1 hour time difference in the real world). The whole movie is just really bad, the acting is horrible, the story is bad, and there's not a single scene that doesn't contain an error of some kind. Other Fast and Furious movies were over the top, but this just was to much stupidity for one movie.
