It is essential when watching films that you are able to suspend your disbelief to appreciate the story. What is so great about cinema is that fantasy is possible, where you can time travel, have encounters with aliens, survive explosions and anything else that is impossible in real life. Sometimes, however, a film will feature such bad science that it will make you cringe and is impossible to ignore. If a filmmaker is going to create science fiction, it is best to either completely skip on the science or ensure it is 100% accurate. Look away now, scientists…
10. Enemy of the State – Enhance
There are dozens of films that use this poor piece of science, but it is particularly noticeable in Enemy of the State. It appears that filmmakers do not understand the concept of pixels, as there seems to be some kind of magical button on computers that enable them to repeatedly zoom in and “enhance” a photograph or security camera footage. This enhancing can seemingly continue forever until they are able to pick out some minute detail, and in Enemy of the State they are somehow able to rotate this image in 3D also. CCTV footage has been improved in recent times, but this magical “enhance” button defies science is used too often in film (and TV).
