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).

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.

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.
