All kidding about the movie's "plot" aside, all you need to do to stop a super-fault from cracking the world in two is utilize a really big stapler. Construction of the Omega Stapler (or Stapler Prime, if you like) can be the focus of much of the film's more heady technobabble scenes.
i was on the set of the Van Sant film, Elephant some years back, and we had to evacuate the set/ middle school when the FX guys lit a bunch of rubber cement in the background of a long tracking shot. the fumes were toxic. the lesson: only do it outside or in a well ventilated area, have your cast and crew sign a liability waiver, and most important, make sure mom's not looking!
The Asylum made this god awful movie called The Day the Earth Stopped. I watch B movies like its my job, but I couldn't finish it. They almost got sued for it, too.
You know, I always thought that The Asylum was just a bunch of guys with a single camcorder making up their scripts as they went along. Who knew that they actually had a film crew? Somehow that lowers my already bottom-of-the-barrel opinion of their films.
@aubreyf: I agree - I think it's underrated in a number of ways. Sure, there are some holes here and there, but you can practically taste the soot, and fear the sky, and the pathos that comes from being there when it all began - unparalleled.
I kinda liked this movie. What's not to like?
Dragons, check.
Bale, check.
McConaughey (with a southern accent even though they or in the UK), check.
Star Wars shout out, check! Who needs a plot is you have all of that?!
I think we all wanted to like this movie but were stunned by gigantic holes in it, like a dragon's hide being impenetrable to bullets and nuclear weapons, but a steel arrow kills 'em just fine. As if that wouldn't have been noticed by the militaries of the world in the first five minutes. Dragon Wars was a better execution of a similar idea of dragons attacking a modern world
@AngriestGeek: Seriously? Just how would the militaries of the world notice in the first five minutes that steel arrows kill the giant dragons? Oh right, because after the jet fighters and nuclear weapons don't work of course! The next thing they do is bring in their platoons of crack archers to have a go at killing the dragons. riiiiiight. And if the archers didn't work they would have had to bring in their squads of teenagers with rocks and slings, and if even THAT didn't work they would have been forced to deploy their ulitmate super secret weapon - they would have sent the world's heavyweight boxing champion to fight the dragon fist to claw.
That would be a tough call. A world without Star Wars, or a world without coffee. Hmmmmm. I'd be really irritable either way. No dark side to compel me on. Ick.
Ah, between the Gerard Butler and the Christian Bale the point of this movie was not dragons but just how much sexy post-apocalyptic manliness can we cram into one film? I salute this movie.
I particularly find this whole sequence absolutely adorable.

FYI: The word "dealer" doesn't necessarily mean a person who shuffles cards.

You should watch their movie The Day the Earth Stopped. It might break you science-bone.
