Yall are right of course - depends on the spirit of the movie -- we see "My Name is Bruce" and we expect one thing, we see "Predator" we expect another.
That curving bullet thing is so phony and to make it a part of the plot was laughable. I didn't see the movie -- some of these "matrix" movies are way too silly.
We've all come to expect the baddies shooting a million rounds at the good guys and all missing. Anyone who's ever fired auto weapons can tell you that's so bogus -- you sweep from back to front to "catch up" with the target.
But we accept some of this -- part of the way movies are made now. Same as how ALL cop and action movies play the scene: the baddie holds the good guy at gunpoint. Then, halfway thru the scene, he racks the slide on the shotgun or pistol or whatever, or cocks the hammer manually, to show that he "means business" (they did this on Lost all the time). Duh. This means that the gun was essentially unloaded before that and was as scary as a rock. We call it "RFE" or Rack For Effect.
I can allow a few scientific errors but sometimes I just point and laugh. There was this SF/horror movie where the crew lands on Mars and evil parasites infect them, and during this, they are in real-time comm with Earth. Er, gang, it's maybe 5-6 light minutes between.
