Movies often make us suspend our disbelief to take us on magical or futuristic journeys, where unicorns are real and humans have already explored more than just our solar system. And while usually those unrealistic events are explained by in-universe laws, there are times when we sit up, squint at the glimmering screen and go "wait a minute." Not even some of the greatest story plots are immune to plot holes, and while some are so minuscule that they can be easily ignored, others are so hard to forget that they may turn the story into the worst movie ever.

Bored Panda has compiled a list of movie mistakes in some of the best movies out there, so scroll down below and see if your favorite one also has something that makes absolutely no sense in story writing. Oh, and don't forget vote for your favorites and share any interestingmovie plot holes that you've noticed yourself!

Also a NASA Scientist pointed out on Science Friday that they would actually plan to redirect the trajectory of the asteroid by having a spaceship, quite possibly unmanned, rotate around it in a calculated way. The gravity of the ship would cause the change in the trajectory and it would be pretty easy for NASA to do this in a way that would steer it clear from the Earth, this scientist explained.

Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001)

Lara's whole goal in the film is to destroy the triangle so the Illuminati can't use its evil power, however, after successfully getting the first half at the first tomb, she spends the entire third act trying to acquire the second half in order to destroy them both. The problem is that she has one piece already and one half can not work without joining it with the other, so why doesn't she just destroy the one she has, rendering the second piece useless?

Around 10 minutes in, the vampires draw pictures of each other to show how their clothing looks because their images don't reflect in the mirror. While the vampires themselves wouldn't show up, their clothing should. Since the cup one vampire is holding does show in the mirror, proximity to the vampire's body shouldn't be a factor.

A much worse plothole is the way Harry gets the sword of Gryffindor. In the book Snape has it and a painting hears Harry and Hermione talking about the forest they are currently in and it (the painting) reports back to Snape. In the movie Harry just stares in the mirror, which Aberforth has- which creates two problems- firstly Aberforth doesn't have the sword and secondly he doesn't know where Harry is- all he see is a forest at night. I've always hated the way that David Yates ruined the second four movies, but this is the biggest mistake.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013)

Statistically, it would be almost impossible for all 12 districts to have a living male and female past victor to compete in the 75th Hunger Games. In the previous film The Hunger Games, Haymitch mentioned that "Career Tributes" from Districts One and Two won the Games almost every year. Even if just over half of the past Games were won by Career Tributes, subtracting previously identified victors leaves 30 past victors to be distributed as one male and one female from each of the 10 remaining districts. That also assumes that none of the victors have died of old age.

Saw (2004)

Dr. Gordon was the police's initial suspect in the Jigsaw killings. Yet it never occurred to them that these killings took a huge amount of time to plan, setup and execute, so a surgeon who is constantly working doesn't make sense as a suspect. The devices had to be custom built, the killing rooms configured and clues planed and hidden, the victims were under surveillance for weeks. So doing all of this required hundreds of hours. Dr. Gordon is an oncologist and a neurosurgeon, a doctor with dual specialties like this often works 90-100 hours a week easily so most of his whereabouts during the day would have been known by his coworkers. While it's possible that some of the work could have been done at night he certainly wasn't able to survey the victims at night, plus if he was frequently staying up all night to do all of this it would have shown in his surgical skills, his ability to perform surgery would have been severely diminished if he was suffering from sleep deprivation. Dr. Gordon made no sense at all as a suspect, which is something an experienced homicide detective would have realized right away.

X-Men 2 (2003)

Since Senator Kelly died in the middle of X-Men, his subsequent appearances have been impersonations by Mystique. But any U.S. Senator's personal and political obligations occupy nearly every hour of each day. Given that there is only one Mystique, and that she impersonates several other characters in addition to appearing as herself, "Senator Kelly" must frequently disappear for hours or days at a time. In the real world or even the comic book world, her intermittent use of Kelly's likeness would be quickly uncovered as bogus by his family or staff.

The rebels cannot jump to light speed because the First Order can track them, but the First Order cannot catch up to them, they can only keep pace. But, it would be a simple matter for the First Order to have a couple ships go to light speed a short distance and immediately return just ahead of the rebels. The First Order could easily and quickly destroy the Rebels with this simple tactic. The resistance would have been trapped in a flanking attack and overpowered by the First Order.

This is a good plot hole, but a bigger one exist. In the opening scene why not move the star destroyers to the front and launch all available tie fighters (killing Poe and the bombing squad) and allow the Dreadnaught to target the Radis instead of the base on the planet? That stationary base is not going anywhere and they only have small unarmed shuttles which are slow and easy to pick off. I swear if I were Snoke I would have killed Hux and Ren for their sheer incompetence.

Besides the fact that there is not a single virus out there that alters a persons DNA. Viruses can only trigger or shut off certain genes that are already in our DNA.

28 Days Later... (2002)

The common trope of the zombies being undead with a craving for brains (or human flesh) is notably and deliberately averted in this film, pinning the reason for the devastation on the rage virus which turns people into violently aggressive killers - but this opens up a considerable plot hole: Why don't the rage victims kill each other? "Normal" zombies don't because the undead kill the living but the rage-infected seem to act more like a dog in the final stage of rabies, attacking anything that moves and/or makes noise - the infected have no reason not to attack each other.

Crematoria has no vegetation on the surface, due to it constantly being "wiped clean" by the suns heat burning away everything in sight when the planet rotates/orbits the local star. It would be considered a "dead planet", meaning no life of any kind. As a result, there would be no oxygen for anyone on the planet to breathe. The danger of Crematoria's heat is inconsistent. It kills one escapee instantly, doesn't burn Kira or Riddick (even when he's knocked out on the surface), and kills the necromonger who saves him after he takes 20 steps into the heat.

Jurassic Park (1993)

Jurassic Park (1993)

All dinosaurs in Jurassic Park are cloned from prehistoric DNA "plugged" with frog DNA. So why do they hatch from eggs as shown in the park lab scene? Even more, the shape and size of the eggs doesn't resemble those of any known modern animal species.

I can't remember if it's mentioned in the movies, but in the book it is stated that the combination of dino/frog DNA is injected into an unfertilized bird egg along with chemicals to simulate fertilization.

When the kaiju emits the EMP, it takes out the jagers, the command center, and presumably anything that's digital. But when the Gypsy Dancer attacks, it is carried by a fleet of helicopters, which presumably have the same digital circuits.

Spider-Man 3 (2007)

When Venom/Eddie Brock asks Sandman/Flint Marko to team up, he mentions his history and the reason why he hates Spider-man. How does Venom/Eddie Brock know all this? It's not mentioned.

Wilford as well as Mason performed one specific hand movement (Wilford at the end of the movie, Mason during her speech to the tail section inhabitants) that suggests, that both of them have experience with cleaning the engine (as seen on Tim under the floor tile). This does not make any sense with regard to their age as the engine can be cleaned only by children less than 5 years old (the train didn't even exist, when both of them were 5 years old).

I don' agree that it suggests they used to clean the engine. I saw it as more of a religious reverence/gesture.
