Default Problems with Movies

This isn't a movie review thread, just a place to bring up obvious plot flaws in film that you notice. Be it time infractions, character miscues, plot holes, or a simple wardrobe malfunction.

Anyway, I started this thread because of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, just watched it for the second time. I Didn't question anything about it the first time I saw it in the theater because it was awesome. But on second viewing, I have one question... How do the apes know how to use the guns so well right away? It would be like Aliens coming to earth and accidentally handing us a gooey blob. A gooey blob that was a weapon! and then we just charged at them with gooey blobs and killed them all. Gooey blobs that they have been handling all their lives!

Or in Back To The Future, if Marty gave in, and banged his Mother when she was a teenager and knocked her up, she probably wouldn't have gotten together with George. Which means Marty never would have been born, and couldn't go back in time to knock her up in the first place. Would the past play out with Marty's mom having an inbred child/grandchild, or would the baby cease to exist because Marty was never born?

Time travel is impossible so therefore any movie with time travel in it is a problem unless you accept the multi-verse quantum universe theory. In that case, both realities would exist. The one where Marty is George's son and goes back in time and a separate reality where he fathers a child with his mom (who will not be Marty since this is a separate universe). Marty from his original universe will continue to exist.

All this time travel talk has me thinking of one of the best episodes of Futurama, "Roswell That Ends Well".
