It’s just far too unrealistic.
The movie's own written universe has established that as something that's not possible! It's the first rule of any kind of fiction writing, particularly sci-fi and fantasy -- you have to establish limitations and rules, then you have to play by those rules or it breaks immersion. Or at least attempt to provide some explanation when you do break the rules. But it never explains why it breaks it's own universe's rules, over and over, and everyone is just supposed to roll with it. "It's a crazy sci-fi world, just roll with it!" was probably written at the top of the writer's board when this trainwreck was written.
