Good grief...

I like sci-fi, and enjoy suspending reality for a couple hours. Having said that, there still needs to be a modicum of believability in a film. Either those responsible for this film are totally clueless, or more likely just didn't give a rip. I will not bother listing all the issues in the movie, just see the goofs section. There were a couple of things that jumped out at me repeatedly though. 1) for some reason, the main character (a navy lieutenant), wasn't required to be at work or report in (I suppose maybe he was on leave). At any rate, he must've been quite the lieutenant as he was able to just join up with whatever military unit he happened to come across in his travels. 2) apparently the special effects folks struggle with the concepts of scale and distance...constantly. I truly hate to think it was decided that the movie-going public would be so overwhelmed by the awesome special effects that they wouldn't notice all the plot holes and poor research, but that's kind of what we have to assume.
