Actually, ruining movies for everyone else is one of the many joys of physics for me! 
Sometimes realism is not a goal. Movies from Asia are an example: in traditional scenes, superskillful people fly from ground to the roof or from roof to another roof. In traditional Asian plays, it does not matter if some parts of the character, creature or action are not realistic or âperfectâ, it is enough if the audience gets the point. Mental imagination completes the rest.
Iâd even say that realism is rarely the goal. Not if itâs a good movie, anyway, with a story to tell or a commentary to impart (hopefully both)! You should never let realism get in the way of that! Picking apart the physics of anything is just a side hustle, when you or your co-watchers are ready to indulge in some of that instead.
Our group of four geology students who went to see Jurassic Park enjoyed pointing out all the errors. (This was after it gad reached the discount matinee stage, so there werenât other people sitting nearby to be annoyed).
Not being a physicist, but rather a geneticist, puts me in this category. As a lifelong birder I also love catching the foley artists with putting bird calls in the background of birds that do not match the geographic location for the film. And then there are the plant mismatches.
The bad genetics in movies are hard to unsee, as is the apparent spread of California chaparral across the globe. A movie claimed it was taking place near to where I live, and unbeknownst to me there appears to be a patch of chaparral close by. Weird that.
Also the spread of NY taxis to Glasgow.
I rather enjoyed the running from âNew Zealandâ to Hawaii in The Castaways. A barred owl hoot in the middle of a dramatic African night is indeed distracting.

But I thought the iridium layer was from aliens using advanced nuclear bombs to get rid of the dinosaurs so that there would be space for putting humans here.
So⌠Is that concept put out by the Discovery Institute? ID by aliens? Or are we an alien colony? So many questions.
Itâs been promoted by Ancient Aliens; I wouldnât be surprised if at least some Raelians agree, and thereâs at least a few of them associated with the Discovery Institute.
Except humans are mammals, so it was to make it possible for humans to be here.
Like they knew something . . . . 
. . . so that the humans could build houses for mice, the actual top species on Earth.
You forgot that part.
I wonder about mice.I walk outside and see 5-10 species of birds, often in flocks, before I see a mammal, so maybe dinosaurs still rule the earth.
