Meltdown: Days of Destruction

[lesbiassparrow]

You know, if you're making a film about the earth magically spinning closer to the sun causing the world's temperature to soar, it would be more convincing if people weren't running around in jackets, long sleeves, and such. Plus your 'stars' could sweat once in a while. It's not even like that would be an expensive thing to do! I also love how they show perfectly normal traffic jams and try to convince me that these are people fleeing the end of the world.

Oh and everyone is wearing jeans. In temperatures of 140+. DID THEIR BUDGET NOT RUN TO SHORTS AND T-SHIRTS?

ETA Some mutants randomly showed up... No explanation, just turned up.

"ETA Some mutants randomly showed up... No explanation, just turned up."

Well......mutants do turn up, as one does. After all, why miss all the fun? ; )

I feel that if you're going to introduce mutants, completely random and unnoticed is the way to go.

Person 1 "So here is our victory garden and here are our random mutants eating my neighbour."
Person 2: "How lovely! How do you get your beans so large?"

I'm a little afraid of the potential correlation between the beans and the mutants. I'm just sayin'.

Yeah, sweat and clothing appropriate for the temperature does seem to make sense, but these movies scorn that type of logic.

Maybe the mutants were created because of the sun drawing closer to the earth?

I pondered that too, but then they'd only been drawing closer to the sun for about 2 days. IN WHICH ALL HUMAN SOCIETY HAD COLLAPSED. But apparently not the ice-caps because there were no floods.

Oh, foolish non-mutant creature. Stop trying to apply your puny human standards of logic to cinematic masterpieces that are beyond your undetstanding.

Wise, wise words. But STILL. I cannot get over the fact that cars were exploding because it was so hot and several of the characters were wearing jackets. And not sweating. Was spraying their pits with water too expensive for the film?
