How many times have we been to the cinema to see a movie and a spin or a spin. technological deviations They yelled at you so much that you couldn’t help but laugh. This moment is a classic from the ’80s and ’90s where the future was thought to be very strange.
And while we have nothing against false guesses, what drives us crazy is in a movie -not futuristic or sci-fi- they do the impossible. Send an email via a printer or hack the White House with an iPod full of duct tape.
For those who enjoy these kits as well as those who can’t stand them, today we leave you with seven films that you can suffer with pleasure/consumer delight. Worst of all, most of these are big-budget productions with good actors.
But before we get into the subject, we leave you with two news that we have published so far that may be of interest to you: 6 books that we dream of making a series after the adaptation of the Rings of Power, 7 movies that you will definitely remember. protagonist, but not of the story…
After the subject is presented and similar reports are presented, let’s move on to the best examples of a technological blunder in the world of cinema. Wait, here comes the curves:
Here are 7 movies whose technological aberrations are so improbable that they’re a little embarrassing:
- crazy night
- Risky lies
- Core
- Operation Swordfish
- impossible mission
- the firewall
- Independence Day
crazy night
Phil and Claire Foster are a seemingly happily married couple who see their best friends break up after a life very similar to their own. To escape her mundane life, Phil takes Claire out to dinner at an expensive Manhattan restaurant, but Claire hasn’t made a reservation yet.
When the Tripplehorns are called to their table and don’t show up, Phil and Claire pose as them; Thus begins an unfortunate night as a result of impersonation. The movie is pretty weak. But that doesn’t matter.
The key to this movie is that in the middle of a car chase, Steve Carrel pulls out a Kindle (yes, Amazon’s e-book reader) and plugs a USB into it. Not a microUSB, no, a USB-A. This is impossible because Kindles never had a USB port.
We understand that this error is because they need an excuse to place products and they didn’t fall for the fact that Kindles don’t say port. But that didn’t matter to the director.

But when Helen, excited by the news, learns of her husband’s true profession, she decides to help him put an end to a fundamentalist command that is planning a bloody attack. Classic 90’s movie with spies, villains, terrorists and lots of crazy technology.
So much so that a Mac running Windows 3.1 appears. It was so painful on-screen that it was the talk of tech bands at the time. Fortunately for director James Cameron, Twitter didn’t exist back then.

Operation Swordfish
Terrorist Gabriel Shear asks Stanley Jobson, a computer scientist recently released from prison, to help him crack a complex security code for a secret account.
Only a few hackers in the world can do such a job, and he is one of them. The elder Hugh Jackman appeared in one of his first big-name roles in a movie alongside Halle Berry and John Travolta.
But what will we do? There is a huge rabbit in the movie and we will tell about it. With a gun to his face, Hugh Jackman has to hack the US Department of Defense in 60 seconds.. For this, he enters a completely invented and meaningless interface and starts writing meaningless IPs.
Luckily the movie is pretty good, so eliminating this rather embarrassing error, the rest is worth it. The sexual tension between Hugh and Halle is one that will always be remembered in the cinema.

impossible mission
Ethan Hunt is a super spy who can handle the most dangerous mission with maximum efficiency and grace (but this grace is questionable, since he had several ways to get into sites).
He is part of a proficient team led by agent Jim Phelps who has reunited his men to join a very difficult mission: to prevent the sale of a stolen disk containing vital confidential information.
The problem with this movie, which was great for almost 110 minutes, comes when the main character starts sending e-mails containing quotes from the Bible. Good so far, the problem is that the emails are not well placed. Remember a “Max@Job 3:14”? Ethan, man, that e-mail is invalid.
But hey, it’s just a detail that shouldn’t blur a very strong movie. Even technological aberrations have the best job, we can forgive the mistake.
