Why so many plot holes :( (spoilers)

When he gather's the material for his first suit, how is putting it in a ceiling panel stopping it from keep going up?

At the end when they jump through the zeppelin, and they let each other go hanging from the blocks, shouldn't she have flown in the opposite direction since they balanced each other?

Also so much was given so easy. I wondered, hmmm how will he get into that building? Next scene, poof, he has a job on floor 0... okay...
Here have some anti gravetational stuff randomly...
Also how did he get his suit through customs when he fell sea to sea?

You nit pick all this stuff but don't point out the most obvious, glaring problem. When Adam in in the TOP world, he is wearing TOP clothes and TOP weights. Yet they burn the hell up, as if they were in bottom world where they needed refrigeration.

There were so many conceptual errors in this flick, but you know what... it was sweet, just that, a sweet little movie. I think it's not one of those that should be over analyzed.

But this isn't a matter of over-analyzation. It was a pretty obvious plot hole that stuck out like a sore thumb.

He was given inverse matter - which was created from the top side. It still would have burned if it wasn't refrigerated no matter where it was, similar to that bolt Adam used to keep his home warm. But food is not inverse matter so it wouldn't have burned a hole in one's stomach.

It is a matter of over-analyzing. This was a fantasy movie where you are supposed to be tolerant of such inconsistencies because of the nature of the film. I'm willing to overlook most of the stuff in this movie because it was a fantasy movie, with the exception of the Ford car. There is no way that there would be a Ford on this planet. It wasn't an alternate Earth or even an alternate universe. It was the same universe we're in, just a different planet in a different galaxy.

The comment above about why Eden didn't fall in the other direction when Adam dropped is a good one. I didn't even think about it at the time (as I was pretty much done with the movie and wanted it to end at this point), but I wouldn't say it was a plot hole.

He he he, I didn't even see that... but I don't mind. Product placement is... the way they make some additional dough. I choose product placement over 20 minutes of commercials any time.

oh no doubt. I like seeing something familiar, however, since this didn't take place on Earth... you know what I'm saying? It's like if they had a Pepsi or Coke item in this movie. Other than this, I don't recall any familiar "Earthly" products.

Come on buddy... do you really have to point out holes in that movie?

Here... I'll help you out... Adam was "made" down below, yet he doesn't burn up top.

Of course this flick is full of holes, but surprisingly, it is one that I had absolutely no issue with. I knew it is going to be a silly little flick when I put it on.
Did you expect anything else out of it?
