We love 'em, never think twice about them. But most movie plots make NO logical sense.
Take for example Star Wars. It makes no sense for one simple reason. Flying along a trench, which has guns in it by the way, which assumes the empire knew there'd be an attack along the trench at some point. But flying along to fire two torpedoes down a hole? That's stupid. The torpedoes have to fly into the hole and down a shaft. K, why don't you just fly your ass perpendicularly and fire them right in? It's like way easier. Oh no, there's guns everywhere and you'd be shot down... but there were guns in the trench too, and they never got a kill. Logically your odds of getting them down that hole is significantly higher if you just shoot them in at a perpendicular angle.
Star wars is illogical.

Those were Force guided torpedos. So magic was involved.

Alien. Weyland-Yutani knew the signal on LV-426 was a warning, but they sent a ship of space truckers to investigate it. This makes NO SENSE. The company has unlimited resources, star ships of it's own, and heavily armed and well trained personnel who could investigate. They even knew there was some kind of life form there they were interested in because special order 937 demands the acquisition of a specimen. No company or government would send a bunch of truck driving roughnecks to do this. The logical thing to do would have been to analyze the signal, which they did, determine it's message, which they did, then send a company ship to investigate. How they knew there was an alien there in the first place isn't explained, and Ash could not have communicated with the company that they'd discovered a life form in the derelict. The time it would have taken to communicate this could have been weeks or even months to be received and replied to. Ash was a plant by the company, his job was to gather a specimen so this is another clue they knew what was there. The plot of the film is simply illogical. The company would have just sent in their own team, and they would have gotten the derelict ship as a prize with all the eggs. No one would ever even know about it because at the time of Alien there wasn't much traffic out in space. They were good to go, but they sent some space truckers in instead.
Alien is illogical.

Because space truckers are more expendable? And unreliable. |

Terminator. The very plot of Terminator is illogical. Skynet sends a machine back to kill Sarah Connor. Big mistake. Because the resistance sends Kyle Reese back in time to protect Sarah, and bangs John Connor into her. If Skynet never sent a terminator back, John Connor would cease to exist. Or would he? Logically there was another John Connor who existed in the original timeline. His father would have been someone else than Kyle. Why? Because in an original, unaltered timeline, Skynet went along as it should up until the point it lost the war and sent the terminator back in a last ditch effort to save it's self. That John sends Reese back, who is just a soldier to him and not his father, who then bangs his mom and knocks her up thus eliminating himself from the timeline and replaced by another John Connor. I know, I have a headache too. Illogical: The terminator went back unarmed when he well could have and we know this because the T-X was armed with all manner of weaponry. The T-800 was inferior to the T-X and T-1000, but could have concealed a futuristic weapon inside of it somewhere and used it. It literally could have traveled back in time with a nuclear device, because in T3, the T-800's battery thingy explodes like a nuke. Skynet coulda hooked a brotha up with some mini nukes, sent it on it's way and just nuked Connor in a suicide bombing. BOOM! Humanity extinct, machines rule. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut!!!!!!!!! We learn from the TV show that John Connor wasn't the messiah and one hope for survival of mankind after all because someone else leads the resistance to victory. So John Connor is kind of a waste of time anyway.
I can't go on. Terminator is illogical.

Back to the future is illogical. One reason BTTF makes no sense is because the Marty we knew through the movie... didn't exist at the end. Marty changed his families future. It's better, his family is successful and happy. Literally everything Marty knew would be different. The other Marty we see go back at the end of the movie was a completely different Marty. He didn't live the life our Marty did. He likely had a great deal of privilege as evidences by his parents buying him that truck. That Marty was probably a better student, had more friends and was all around a more average mid 80's kid. Our Marty had a crap family and crap school life.
So our Marty should not exist because he changed the future to a point a new Marty existed and he eliminated his own life from the timeline. Now you can argue this isn't the case because Doc finds the note Marty left him, but it's just as likely Marty "B" wrote the exact same letter to doc. In fact, logically NOTHING Marty "A" did in the past should have happened exactly the same way as Marty "B" because he had no reason to interfere with his parents. So what did Marty "B" even go back in time for? To watch Marty "A" fix his parents? But logically that never happened either because Marty "A" would not have existed in Marty "B"'s timeline.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a paradox!
Back to the future is illogical.

Back to the future 2 is illogical. In so many ways. First of all, Marty and Jennifer travel into the future to save their kids. Doc is a moron. Marty and Jen were MISSING FOR 30 YEARS! Their families devastated, the investigation into their disappearance a cold case. Their children were never born. When they arrived in 2015... there's nothing to do but go site seeing because their kids don't exist. That's that. How in the hell did Biff, an incredible moron, ever figure out how to operate the time machine? He wouldn't know how to activate the time circuits, input a date, or power the time circuits for a return trip. Nothing else matters, because he would never have had any idea how to operate the time machine in the first place! And even if by some miracle he did, he would have traveled into a future of his alternate timeline where he's rich and powerful... and oh by the way the time machine WAS NEVER INVENTED because Doc Brown was committed to a loony bin! He erased the Delorean from existence, which then meant he couldn't even go back in time to give his younger self the sports almanac. We know Biff should have arrived in his own alternate timeline because DOC BROWN EXPLAINS TO MARTY THAT'S WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF THEY WENT BACK TO 2015 TO STOP OLD BIFF!
The movie makes no sense. It's so illogical!
