Yeah. If movies and novel were perfectly logical, who'd want to see them? They'd be like life--long periods of stuff not very interesting to anyone except the person experiencing it. One of the most basic building blocks of movies--cutting from one point of view to another--isn't logical. People looking for logic in alien invasion movies probably serve vegetables instead of cake at a birthday party.

Yeah but if the audience has to suspend disbelief there should be limits about how much the audience has to swallow. A subtle touch and a bit of continuity help no matter how far out the plot may be.

Spielberg's imprint on Private Ryan goes too far into Spielbergisms and weird twists.
