What movie inaccuracy was so bad that it broke the immersion?
- The length of the runway in Fast and Furious 6 gave me a good chuckle

- Prometheus, when he says they are a half a billion miles from home which wouldn't even get them out of the solar system.

- Not me, but my dad, and the ridiculousness of this still makes me smile.
My dad teaches physics, but he's really into science fiction so he can accept a lot of shitty explanations for the sake of staying into the narrative even if they're a bit of a stretch
We were watching the first GI Joe movie in theaters, and he sat through the nanobots eating the Eiffel tower, he sat through the exoskeletons that let dude's throw buses, all without complaint.
Then we get to the final climactic scene, the Joe's have detonated bombs in the ice above Cobra's underwater lair, and the ice falls down and destroys their base, and he mutters under his breath "ice doesn't fucking sink"
Edit: since I'm the top comment, LOVE YOU DAD, YOU'RE THE REAL MVP JUST NOT MUCH OF A STORYTELLER

- Star Trek: Into Darkness
Hey I'm Khan, I'm a "genius strategist" who always thinks twelve steps ahead and am singlehandedly in control of a powerful starship. I've cornered my enemies, and have just exclaimed that I can target their life support and obtain my crew from the wreckage, but instead I'm gonna ask them to send the crew over knowing they're held inside ~70 proton torpedos.
What? They armed the torpedos? Who could have seen that coming?

- Jaws 4 when the family decides to fly across the US, coast to coast and the shark gets to their destination ahead of them. Did the shark have a ticket on an earlier flight?

- 28 weeks later.
A civilian would not be able to see their dead wife in quarantine, even if they do have an AAA and there was no army personnel guarding it.

- Ok this probably never bothered anyone else, but back in the day there was a drama/suspense TV show called *American Gothic*.
It was set in South Carolina, where I was born and raised. And in one scene a woman is planting spathyphylum, (aka peace lily) in a line along her fence for spring gardening. When I finally watched this show I worked in a retail nursery.
She planted a row of indoor tropical low-light plant in the blazing back 40 acres of hell full lowcountry sun. There is 0 chance any of those plants would survive 48 hours.
And she was specifically introduced as the town’s prodigal daughter, who moved into her late mother’s house and was recreating their garden.

- The science of shrinking and growing things in Ant-Man is incredibly inconsistent. The way they claimed shrinking worked was that they moved the atoms of an object closer together, and because of this shrunken objects were much denser and could hit really hard. By that logic, growing objects means you're moving the atoms farther apart and they should get less dense right? So why does every grown object somehow get even stronger? When the thomas train grew in the movie it broke through the wall of a house and crushed a car, in reality it should have crumpled against the wall.

- *League of Extraordinary Gentlemen* was a bad movie in a number of ways.
But you *cannot* submerge the Nautilus in the canals of Venice. The Grand Canal is only five meters deep.
