Biggest Plot Holes for You?


If the point of doing the experiment on international waters was that nothing is illegal? Why were the cops investigating it at all?

How did he know she would be on the bus?

Why did he seem to have powers that Milo didn't?

As always, if your genes change it would take weeks for physical changes to be expressed and become evident - not seconds. Why do they always make this mistake? (More like in The Fly)

All of that doesn't bother me at all or can be explained to an extent. The thing that surprised me was the story line of the little girl! what happened to her after she was put in a coma?!

reply

She continued being sick and without Morbius to find a cure eventually died.

My guess is that applied to the experiment. That changed when people died.

"Why did he seem to have powers that Milo didn't?"
I took that as Milo not honing his newfound skills the way Michael was.

Ya they had a lot of cops on that ship - mostly State Troopers - WHAT?!
How would they have jurisdiction in international waters. Also each one of the would have needed to been helicoptered or driven by boat out there.

They said the ship drifted into long island, they also show it briefly in some dock. So by the time police got there it probably wasnt in international waters anymore. Morbius did send out the call for rescue too.

Uh, the murders? Remmeber that they arrested him for the murder of the nurse, not what happened on the ship.

>How did he know she would be on the bus?

He followed her?

>Why did he seem to have powers that Milo didn't?

He has powers he has trained for and we see him briefly do the training in the lab when he returns to NYC.

>As always, if your genes change it would take weeks for physical changes to be expressed and become evident - not seconds.

Around 6 months, actually. Assuming every new cell your body makes has the new genes. But this is a place where i think we can suspend the disbelief for the movies sake.

Murder isn't legal in international waters.

On international waters the law still apply but only of the country where the ship is registered. So I think it was to avoid American law enforcement.
