Corrected entry: In the plane sequence the whole weightlessness is wrong. When the plane is high in the atmosphere the people inside it will still be under the effect of gravity (when the film shows no gravity) and then as it falls you would get effective weightlessness as everything falls at the same speed (yet the film has the gravity switched back on).

Superman Returns (2006)
Corrected entry: Lex states that the crystals just need water to grow meaning that the new land must be somehow made from water molecules. In that case the land is effectively solidified water, lifted out of the ocean, meaning the worldwide water levels would drop, not rise. None of the flooding could ever happen.
Correction: Just because the crystals grow when placed in water, doesn't mean the resulting structure is made from water. When you water a seed, the resulting plant is not made from solidified water. The crystal probably expands in size exponentially when it hits water.

Ice Age 2: The Meltdown (2006)
Corrected entry: Ice melts from the outside in, so the dam should have melted at the same time as all the water behind it.
Correction: Yes ice does melt that way but the water behind the dam was most likely a river that had been blocked by the movement of a glacier. Ice dams did exist during the ice ages, some of them holding vast amounts of water and they still exist today in places such as Iceland. Here is some information on ice dams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_dam.

Batman Begins (2005)
Corrected entry: After the manor burns down you can see that it is on a hill top - in pretty much all directions. Where is the waterfall and the river that feeds it?
Correction: We see Bruce takes a lift down to the Civil War tunnels under the Manor. He then walks along these to get to the Batcave. The entrance with the waterfall is further along from this. The distance of this suggests that the river and the waterfall are further down the hill from the Manor.

Correction: Whoever this twine guy is obviously doens't know his physics well enough. Should go read up something before putting something up here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Gravity_Corporation OR http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomit_Comet Zero gravity can be experienced in a plane which is on a parabolic curve, and that's exactly what happens to the plane. And you gotta remember that the plane had gone up quite high with the shutttle on its back.
