    That would depend on the type of movie.  If it is a movie is about real life events, then it should not.  For all the other movies, they are free to do as much .movie magic they want.

    That's usually just a plastic surgery job, not magic.

    I think it is funny. I even try to catch them. Producers love to screw with the laws of gravity. The is no Newton's First Law of Motion in space movies.

    Kubrick applied physics to a limited extent in 2001, but as he said to Arthur C Clarke at the time, too much of it gets in the way of telling a good yarn.

    It's either hilarious or annoying, depending on the context. All movies require a suspension of reality to a greater or lesser degree anyway, and fantasy doesn't count.
