How does the actor - or anyone else at the scene - not care enough...?

I've never seen anyone point this out, but Buzz cannot physically fit through the Hot Wheels loop in Toy Story.

The filmmakers establish that the loop is only slightly wider than the Hot Wheels car. Like, snugggg snug. Buzz's wings extend far beyond the width of the car. Yet, the sequence never actually shows him entering or exiting the loop in one continuous shot.

Instead, it cuts from a wide shot which faces away from the loop itself, to a POV shot heading toward the loop, to inside the loop from a side angle (where his wing is arguable obscured), then cuts back to an exterior shot where he's already emerged past the point of the loop. The one angle that would prove he fits is never shown.

His wings would have totally clipped the side of the loop upon entering. Even if, miraculously, he entered the loop, he would still clip coming back out of the loop again. Two different collision points! In fact, in the shot shown of him inside the loop itself, cutting to the shot of him exiting, he is never even shown aiming to turn his body sideways. He faces forward the entire time, indicating he fully committed to taking on the loop full-on, wings in the way and everything.

I suspect the edit hides the fact that Buzz's wings couldn't physically clear the loop. If anything, I think that Pixar knew this. They could move the model around, see that it wouldn't work, but wanted to create a fun scene for storytelling purposes perhaps, suspending our disbelief. Maybe it was hardwired into the storyboarding process and too late to change it. Who's to say?

Has anyone else ever noticed this? I saw this film in theaters when it was first released. This segment of this scene has always somehow bothered the perfectionist in me.

Sure. We have other plotholes. Why do Buzz's batteries never die? Why does Buzz become motionless around humans if he himself doesn't believe he's a toy. I get it, LOL.

Also, the book is not about "far off places, daring swordfights, magic spells and a Prince in disguise".

During the Arena Battle of Geonosis Ki-Adi Mundi is seen with a green lightsaber, moments later switching back to his original blue, leaving no time for him to have lost and switched it back Timestamps 1:56:50, 1:56:58 and 1:57:09

Maybe Smith realised he needed to change the smoke detector battery.

The lighting on the interrogation table bounces back/forth from rectangle to circle and back again

In Over Your Dead Body, a gas pump displays:

• Total: $53.35
• 13.18 gallons
• Price per gallon: $3.999

At $3.999/gallon, 13.18 gallons would cost $52.71.

Assuming the 13.18 gallons and $53.35 total are correct, the price per gallon should be about $4.05, not $3.999.

It’s about an hour and 50 minutes in the movie I can’t get a screenshot they are all just black idk why if anyone can help me with this that would be great

I watched Jurassic World: Rebirth a while ago, and this movie still hasn't left my mind... not because it was good, but because of how unbelievably disappointing it was.

Seriously, who wrote this script?

This movie genuinely motivated me to become a story writer because if THIS gets a multi-million-dollar budget, then surely I can come up with something better.

I almost wasted my money watching it in 4DX because I thought, "Dinosaurs in 4DX? This is gonna go crazy." It would've been my first 4DX experience too.

Luckily, I waited.

Instead, my first 4DX movie ended up being F1, which I never even planned to watch. Funny how life works. The things you plan don't happen, and the unexpected ones turn out to be better. That movie was actually worth the money.

Anyway... back to Jurassic World.

This whole movie felt like it was written just to get Scarlett Johansson in the franchise. I heard she's been a huge *Jurassic Park* fan for years and always wanted to be in one. Cool. Doesn't change the fact that the script was cooked.

The movie had one thing going for it...

Consistency.

It disappointed me from the first scene to the last.

The only character I actually liked was the villain.

Then you've got these "elite mercenaries" who can't do the one thing they're paid to do. Who hired these bums? Half the team looked like they were recruited off Craigslist five minutes before the mission.

And the dad...

My brother in Christ, why are you taking your entire bloodline into a restricted dinosaur-infested ocean? Then everyone's shocked when the boat gets flipped. He should be flipping burgers in home...

Who could've seen that coming?

The boyfriend was a complete bum too. Me personally? I would've slimed his trash ass with how he was acting. And the daughter somehow picked the worst possible dude. Match made in hell.

Then the mercenaries decide to risk the entire mission to save this family, and instead of being grateful, the family acts entitled the whole time.

Especially the daughter.

I'm sorry, but if I was the villain, I would've saved them... just to drop them right back off on Dinosaur Island.

And don't even get me started on the plot armor.

This girl is out here inflating a giant raft RIGHT IN FRONT OF A T-Rex...

...and the T-Rex just forgets it's a predator.

Then later everyone acts like the villain is evil because he didn't save them while the boat was literally falling apart.

Meanwhile she's busy trying to call someone instead of, I don't know...

HOLDING ON TO THE BOAT.

Actions have consequences.

Except apparently not in this movie.

The only genuinely decent scene was the guy with the flares calling in the helicopter while that massive forehead mutant dino showed up...

Then everyone survives.

The end.

Like...

WHAT?

Also, why was this rated PG13 where I watched it? What exactly did the censors see?

If you watched this in theaters...

I'm sorry for your loss.

Let's hope the next Jurassic movie is made by people who actually understand what makes this franchise special.

Jurassic Park is literally a gold mine. It's one of those franchises where the potential is endless.

Instead, they gave the keys to the kingdom to a jester...
