My one is Terminator the original. I get that the machines they can create a machine, i’ll even given them for creating human blood but one thing that bothered the shit out of me. Is they can probably read and write different languages but how in the hell or why do you make a robot have a german accent?

    Minority Report. Spoilers for a 24 year old movie…

    Tom Cruise plays the head of a super secret security division. Things go sideways and he ends up being a wanted man in this ultra futuristic society that has eyeball scanners everywhere.

    One of the first things he does is get an eyeball replacement so they can’t find him immediately. He gets caught ANYWAY and thrown in prison.

    Then he gets broken out because someone kept his original eyeballs which still had the security credentials to allow them to open the prison. 🤔

    Sorry, if I get fired from a gig, my security credentials are null and void. Doubly so if I get arrested and thrown in prison.

      My head canon for this is that someone inside kept him in the system because they trusted him, such as the Precog technician or the warden.

      The realistic answer is that incompetence and red tape delayed removing his credentials when they should have been.

        That was also my first thought when I watched it. I don’t remember if they acknowledged it in any way though. In any case neither scenario is that unrealistic.

      Are you kidding? This is the most realistic part, you think anyone who does IT gets informed when someone leaves? Getting fired in person, maybe. Getting fired in absentia, no chance anyone gets informed.
