I just saw this on Blu-Ray last night (thank you Netflix). Actually one of the better recent Bond movies. Obligatory car chase, check. Casino scene, check. Big explosions, check.
Yeah, I know it's a movie but my two biggest physics bloopers in this and a lot of other movies like it are:
- You cannot outrun an explosion! Blast waves propagate at something like 700 MPH and yet there goes bond outrunning the flames in the tunnel beneath the manor.
- You can't stand feet from an explosion and walk away as if nothing happened. Silva is basically standing right in front of the manor as it blows up and yet stands up afterwards with little more than a rumpled jacket and in need of a hair comb. In reality the concussion would have burst his lungs and seriously scrambled his internal anatomy--that's how blast really kills.
Still, an enjoyable action yarn. Fines as the new M should be good (not much demand for Voldemort these days). Dench was well past her sell-by date in the last few rounds so good to see her exit.
