Okay, I'm calling "foul" on "Man of Steel". I finally get to see it, and something jumps out at me - something that a surprising number of movies and TV shows get wrong. At the end of the "surrender, Kal-El" message, during the line "...or watch this world suffer the consequences", they show the moon at what might be about a third of the distance from the horizon to overhead, in a black sky. That height means that we're facing either east (1-2 hours after moonrise) or west (1-2 hours before moonset). The problem is that they show it with the right half lit, which puts the sun either north or south of us. At that height above the horizon, the lower half should be lit in a black sky, not one of the side halves. It might be possible closer to one of the earth's poles, but, unless I need to turn in my science-geekdom membership card, it's impossible to see the moon in that configuration from wherever they're supposed to be in the 48 contiguous United States. (This same science "instinct" is what made me notice that the moon rises in the south in Paragon City.)
