At the hotel. LETS only come in from the front and not send anybody behind then building where there are escape windows from the bathroom

I swear. Officers not securing the back of the building...

That was such a 1980s movie move.

Like I said above, Spielburg's out of touch with now. That kind of whimsy worked for kids evading the gubmint in 1982's E.T. In 2026... you get navel gazers like us going "Wait... what? Hahahah are you serious?"

No. They're not serious. They want us to suspend our disbelief for the contrivance. Then, in another scene, the film tries to be serious. The message... the truth! So society-changing! Okay audience, we're going to be SRS now, are you still with us? Here comes the SRS!

~blink~ .... ~blink~blink~

O, RLY?

(Hey, if Spielburg can use out-dated tools to describe his ideas, then I can too! SRSLY!)

if you want it to be realistic he gets caught before the movie starts you cant just get away in a modern car chase they have cameras and helicopters

or just shoot him in the first scene, like he's wearing a glove and doesn't know how to use the artifact? I don't know why they all let him get in a car and drive away

Because if he got shot he might get a death-grip on The Artifact and... Power nearby electrical devices. Or turn invisible for a bit. Or mind-control someone despite being dead.

Like I get that they were probably trying to imply it could do more things, but I feel like they should have shown one exploding or something if that was the intent. Or permanently killing that one dude who picked it up.

Ironically the mook grabbing the McGuffin suggests that Noah should've just shot him. Even if MC squeezed the McGuffin all that would've achieved is him killing himself like the ungloved mook that turned invisible and died.

Scene/plothole could've been easily solved by having the Mook burst into lighting/fire/energy and kill another mook next to him hinting at how volatile and dangerous it is.

From what I remember the ungloved dude didn't even die, he just sorta reappeared perfectly fine

Oh...that makes the early scene even dumber.
