The Core (3/9) Movie CLIP - Unobtainium (2003) HD

[@FHBStudio]

The best parts of any sci fi movie to me are always the engineering parts. This was probably my favourite clip of this movie.

[@zvolchen117]

Their laser effect was nice. They didn't go for the cliche big red beam

[@josephusb.villanueve6687]

When the laser made the cut through the rock that held the box, it should have also made the same cut through the back plate, and the wall.

[@Shuhua1999]

Agreed. Without the eggheads and the jarheads we'd all be doomed.

[@Twerkulies]

Nerd

[@NhatHuyNg]

@@josephusb.villanueve6687 If you pay close attention, as soon as the laser cut through the "rock" (or the concrete block), the machine is turned off. The block is much thicker than the steel backplate so it would take longer to cut through it. The scene was actually very good with such details

[@paulwilliammonks1]

Unobtainium is just a mix of two words, unobtainable and the suffix at the end of some elements (pullonium, radinium etc) It has been used for years (since the 50s) in science to describe an element that is impossible to create but if it was possible then it would be the best element for the job in hand (I.e. the lightest, strongest, densest) So it's not just from avatar

[@Restrion]

Paul Monks great news fake news has been caught blue handed

[@Mtheorygarage]

One word. Adamantium.

[@Hal2718]

cuong trinh Also Vibranium, Uru, Mithril, Kryptonite, Tritanium, etc are all fine examples of writers not being lazy and giving their fictional materials actual names. Writers also have a habit of using the names of real elements and compounds such as Promethium and Osmium, but ascribing to them different properties. This I'm not a big fan of either, but it's preferable to the tired use of Unobtanium.

[@Elthenar]

Promethium is frequently used in the 40k universe. There it's pretty much just a fancy name for napalm though. There it is meant as a reference to Prometheus giving the gift of fire to man.

[@msrodrigues2000]

@@Hal2718 Unobtainium has an oficial meaning since 1958, even though it is listed as comic or ironic in the interin glossary of aerospace terms, it is very useful, being used even by NASA to describe the material they had to make for James Webb Space Telescope. It is not "writers being lazy" because the term can be used to name any material that has extraordinary properties

[@AllyBubblesSpriggs]

I love how he jokingly say "15 billion dollars!" Then the look he gets when the general asks if he'll take a check. "Why not use your creditcard, you'll get miles." Damn!! Imagine all those miles on 15 billion?!?!?!

[@feelgoodmusicradio8280]

50 Billion! Not 15!

[@natesturm448]

I calculated it on a few online mileage converters. It comes back as "NaN" which means "Not a Number" on all of them. You would effectively own the airline for 100s of years.

Now he might be worried that the 3-star general will use the Virgil craft as an underground submarine to threaten to launch sub-surface nuclear drill missiles (adding a 4th leg to the nuclear triad of land, sea, and air nuclear capability), but perhaps the US military will also let him do some science with it?

[@AgentExeider]

@@geohiekim8705 Tell me you're joking? Most scientists especially ones that have been laughed out of academia are paranoid as hell, and they especially don't trust the f**king government. Generally they know if the government suddenly shows up, it's because something really hard core is happening and they need THEM or what THEY have. The first question any such scientists would ask is _"Why didn't you go to X or Y person whose in the top of the field and is at all the various universities' gala events and is pulling million dollar grants?"_ Why are you not there but instead here at my place, which is in the middle of nowhere, off the grid and inhabited by a scientists who everyone of my peers says is insane?

I assume not considering Brazz needed $15 billion just to set up the fabrication process and make enough to build a small ship in three months.

[@coolbionicle]

hmmm, if a material that could be made so that its properties followed the same physical rules as negative temperature, it then is theoretically possible to make a material this strong, given that the more internal energy you add the more entropy it looses, therefore it gets colder and more structurely stable, and since its at the other side of absolute zero you could theoretically get it infinetly hot and it would still be rigid since it cannot get to zero. in shorter terms, the material properties of it are ruled by negative temperature, hence the hotter it gets, the harder it becomes. It can be made, theoretically of course.

[@TheCoolProfessor]

Excellent deduction but you are missing one critical component; to create such a material you need to spend twenty years in the desert surrounded by mice and rats.

[@coolbionicle]

TheCoolProfessor I dont't get the refference :/

[@EvanderSmart]

Underrated movie

[@FerretJohn]

Not especially, it was an amusing film but scientists around the world point at this as the most scientifically inaccurate film ever made, even worse than Disney's The Black Hole

[@drogon3435]

it's a fantasy event in a fantasy world with fantasy people dealing with fantasy problems. Who gives that much care if this is a movie full of scientifically inaccuracies its a fantasy film. Just enjoy the entertainment and stop worries about accuracies, it's not a god damn documentary IT'S A MOVIE..................

[@FerretJohn]

First off, it's not Fantasy, it's Science Fiction. Fantasy is Game of Thrones and Conan the Barbarian, Science Fiction as the name implies deals with Science, and though I am always first to say "It's just a movie" when dealing with such things as causing the Earths core to stop revolving and getting it moving again with nukes it's a bit hard not to take note of basic scientific impossibilities. Second, oh self-righteous jackass, I didn't say I didn't enjoy the movie, I just relayed the general consensus among critics and fans with any kind of scientific background

[@drogon3435]

when something is make believe or acting we call that a fantasy. I know damn well it's Science Fiction but that still makes it a fantasy world.

[@actsismmljcorrectlyobeyed6190]

It wasn't political enough for the left.

[@Kalebfenoir]

I love the humor in this movie. Everyone laughs about the 'will you take a cheque' or 'use a credit card; you'll get more miles', but I laughed most at the General's acknowledgement of that, that little grunt of 'Oh yeah. That's a good idea." As if they'd use the miles, and as if the amount was just a paltry thing. LoL. Almost dismissive.

[@tk5800thesecond]

did anyone notice how the laser did not cut under where the box would be on the metal sheet behind

[@Yamyatos]

Yes, but one could argue that he turned if off just at the right moment. More importantly, where did the hole with the bottle come from (0:19)? Was he bored enough to make a bottle of Unobtanium?

They werent paying him for the ship they were financing the construction of the ship. So basically they pretty much owned the ship n im guess he didnt mind. Cuz like he said he was amazed by building it instead of imagining it (right before h died)

[@Gwydion_Wolf]

They cold own the ship, but they couldnt own the chemical/metal, nor the imagination that formed it :)

[@baneblackguard584]

the government owns anything they want to own. you might be able to get the courts to force some taxpayer moneys into your own pockets, but the fact remains that the government owns anything they want to own and there is nothing you can really do about it. They tend to stay away from doing that for political backlash reasons, but for something like this, i'm sure they'd accept the political backlash.@@Gwydion_Wolf

In the xbox game, Rebel Galaxy, there is a substantial trading system between the different worlds. One of the commodities is Obtainium, which you can purchase or mine. The item's description reads, "I guess it wasn't that difficult to find, after all."

[@chacehart7286]

I love this movie. The science is iffy at best but the characters, story, and relationships are well developed. There is suitable backstory presented for everyone and a narrative arc that doesn't try anything fancy and simply sticks to the basics (which have worked well for thousands of years, ind you). Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine.

I write fantasy fiction and I noticed thar stories that are the best have very few actual fantasy items in it. For me I have magic in my fantasy settings along with the healthy spattering of monsters and races, but at its core, everything else is scientifically accurate as much as I can research. It helps sell the fantasy. So there is healing magic, but there is still medicine. The idea is magic has a limit, as does everything else. And the body can only magically heal so much till it just can't take it anymore. So there is still a need for x-ray machines, surgeons, vaccines, and prosthetics. Even in industry, magic can make infinite flame, but it's expensive. So if you want a cheap steam car you still need to put woodchips and coal into. If you get a magic flame steam car, you only have to add water. But steam cars are real. During the time period I write in, they are no more or less capable than the real thing During that time period. It's just subtle change, but enough to give the idea that things are just a little different to make it much more interesting.
