Everyone knows that Hollywood bends the rules of reality to bring stories to the big screen. Even movies based on true events fudge things up a bit. It’s called artistic license, and many viewers accept it as part of the film industry. The problem is when the “truths” movies present are so prevalent, they become accepted as actual fact. People have a misconstrued vision of how society operates because of movies, and they may be surprised to learn how much films get wrong. Here are 10 movie myths you probably still believe.

t-rexes can't see things that don't move because they're all dead.

[GhostSickness]

The Martian accounted for the delay...

[PixiePrincess]

Gumball: "Don't move, and she won't be able to see you."
(T-Rex) : "That only works in the movies."

[navyman]

They explained the time lag in the Martian lol. I would have used something else.

[Manobaru]

You speak of "laser weapons" yet you show Star Wars and Star Trek scenes, where these weapons shoots particles or plasma. Great job... * slow clap *

[numberrocker]

Star Wars and Star Trek don't use actual lasers and in The Martian, they accounted for the delay.

[davidsmith-uqfr]

In The Martian, they say there's a 15 minute lag each way. Way to not do your research.

[Ella_of_Carim]

But guns don't shoot laser in Star Wars. They shoot plasma bolts...

[georgeridgers]

In the Martian they do mention the time delay between sending messages. They just aren't going to make you sit and wait whilst the message is sent.

[themaggot]

in the SW universe, blasters shoot plasma, not lasers

[Stormtimbers]

YouTube Myths you Still Believe:
1. ScreenRant is a good channel

[theldraspneumonoultramicro]

but they have a time delay in the martian, they even mention it being around 21 minutes 1-way several times

[Pyrex]

The Martian addressed the contact timing already.

[xbaumann]

I hope you know in Star Wars, they mostly use Plasma bolts, not laser. Minus the Death Star.

[jimschwartz]

Another myth is that gun silencers make guns whisper-quiet. Silencers, may lessen the sound some, but a LONG way from whisper-quiet.

[TFWKnightconvoy]

Star Wars Blasters aren't lasers. Star Trek Phasers aren't lasers. Both shoot particles of mass in the beams.

DO RESEARCH..

[SKy_the_Thunder]

Here's two of my favorite movie myths:
- Dinosaurs didn't have feathers.
- You're fine next to lava as long as you don't touch it.

[Hairyniggaballs-gi]

Myth number 1: screen rant does research

In Star Wars the blasters shoot plasma bolts which are not only visible but confirmed to be slower than ballistics.

[GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

Laser blasts aren't lasers. They're usually launching plasma or some other matter.

They're called "blasters" or "phasers" in your example footage, not "lasers."

[paulquinn]

there is a 19 minute delay in the Martian
