I think that I have to agree with the general commentary, though, that for most Americans they simply want to be entertained by movies and not think about them. Sit down, turn off brain.
I remember seeing "Independence Day" with a friend and after the movie she was dissecting it, pointing out all the flaws like the pilot pulling off his mask in a high-G turn--something a real pilot would never do. Even watching a movie she couldn't turn her brain off. :/
Well, that was disturbing...
