People Notice There’s Something Wrong With The Rock’s New Movie Poster, And Things Escalate Quickly
People are calling Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock-et’ after he shared a movie poster of his upcoming flick. The action thriller is set in the not-so-distant future, where his character, Will Ford, is called in to inspect the security at the tallest skyscraper in the world, called The Pearl. And yes, films like these don’t always rely on the laws of physics, but the internet believes this one is a wee bit too much illogical.
After scanning the promotional material with skepticism, movie-geeks had a lot to say about the stunt performed on Skyscraper movie poster. I mean, some of them even used math and drew charts to back up their claims, so it’s safe to say that things got serious. Scroll down to check out if that impossible jump is too big even for Dwayne The Rock himself and feel free to watch the trailer for the movie here.

This is the poster of Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s latest movie Skyscraper
After the actor shared it online, people noticed something was not quite righ
It didn’t take long before things got really serious
The smartest minds on the internet tackled the issue
And some wondered if other unknown factors were involved
Photoshop wizards even tried fixing it
But in the end it would probably look something like this
Some jokes summed up the situation perfectly
Another movie from Hollywood that defies all logic and laws of physics? In other news, the water is wet.
Water isn't wet. Objects can be wet. A piece of paper can be burned, but you would never say "Fire is burnt." Therefore, water is just water. :|
I suggest a better analogy to fire is that fire is hot. We agree anything that contacts fire generally conducts or acquires thermal hotness. It conveys a quality (hot) not a result (burnt) - in fact not all things that get hot near fire burn, one of those things is definitely water.
But water IS wet. Water is made of water. Water molecules. Water molecules are covered by other molecules of water, therefore making it wet, (wet: covered or saturated with water or another liquid) and will always be wet unless you separate a molecule, in which that molecule is no longer wet, but the rest of the water continues being wet. Yes, fire can not be burnt, but "burnt" is one of the effects of fire, like water damage. Regardless, fire is on fire/fiery, dirt is dirty, and water is wet. I suppose the better term is water is usually wet, because by theory, there can be a molecule by itself.
It's wet if Hollywood says it's wet. Duh.
But doesn't anything we can identify as liquid-state water largely have water ON it? And is that not the most common definition of wetness? Granted, widely-displaced molecules of water may not be very wet, we might say the air is 'humid' but if we concede that the exception proves the rule it only reinforces the point.
Congrats! Whose the guys (or girl)
I think I'm in love ...
Wait, apart from the scientific analysis let's stick to some basic logic. The question is, why would anyone want to jump INTO a burning building instead of just getting as far from it as possible?:P
Because he's The bloody Rock. And The Rock does what he wants to do - period.
Fair enough ;)
Hehe
To save someone, maybe? As he's, maybe, the hero of the movie? Thor summed it well in Ragnarok: "I choose to run towards my problems, and not away from them. Because's that what heroes do."
I'm not sure that flying downwards counts? XD And Thor used to fly towards his problems when he had Mjölnir :3
Well then Rock is better than Thor, he cleary flies to his problems :D
WHAT if he has someone he cares about in that burning building?
I'm guessing he could smell what he was cookin' in there and had to get back to it.
Obviously a spouse/child/kid in a wheelchair is trapped in there and he has to save them.
I bet the prosthetic leg (seen in the trailer) has a hydraulic system to help with the jump..I haven't read that theory yet
Doesn't change the arcs though.
In the trailer the prosthetic leg is his left leg but he makes the jump with his right leg - so we can abandon that theory.
