Mal ,'Heart Of Gold'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
But they knew where it was, and it could be retrieved without hurting him -- Jor-El wouldn't have made it impossible or even painful to get it out of him. And if anyone were behaving rationally, they could have worked together.
I know, I know. I'm a dreamer. Wanting people to behave rationally and work together. Where's teh drama.
That was a huge problem I had, actually. What, exactly, was Jor-El's plan for the future of Krypton? He encodes the Codex into Kal-El's cells, and then....what? Are we just supposed to assume that there was more information on the Super-USB drive about how to get it OUT of his cells and into a format that could result in more Kryptonians?
Presumably, since that ship in the arctic was designed to colonize a new planet and had one of those Matrix-style Genesis Chambers, that could have been used to recreate the Kryptonian race on earth once Clark found the thing. Zod certainly seemed to want to use it for that purpose, albeit with negative concern about how the process would affect Clark's wellbeing.
The part of the machine in the Indian Ocean must have caused tsunamis. It wasn't meant to be an unpopulated area, either; they showed a fisherman there. Must have been horrible destruction.
They said that it was using gravity to simulate increasing the earth's mass. It may be that the sudden return to normal once it was broken would generate tsunami tides everywhere when the world's oceans suddenly stopped being compressed by the additional weight.
Wait, so the good guy's plan was the one that didn't make sense?
I am cast in mind (unfavourably) towards Transformers, where the best I could work out was that in order to beat the guys who want to steal the thingy, you've got to give them the thingy. And, without irony, you will win and we will all be safe.
Perhaps it's fairer to say that no one's plans made sense in that movie, but here it at least sounds like crazy angry guy wants something that's reasonable to want.
Oh how I wish anyone, anyone on this team of scriptwriters had looked up the Wikipedia entry on gravity. Because the explanation of how the World Engine worked was painful.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.
OMG. No shit. Furthermore, there is the very obvious issue that didn't they fucking ruin Krypton by fucking with the core? Didn't Zod criticize the council for fucking with the core?
Then what did he do? Fuck with the core. I just did not understand that shit at all.

Okay, what the hell, they're making a LEGO movie??
...And it actually looks good? What? No, seriously, it's from the directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and 21 Jump Street, both of which were surprisingly intelligent and hilarious...plus Batman.
