It makes my wife crazy when I notice the flora or geology doesn't match the presumed setting, or that mountains, jungles, palm trees, all sorts of things, are 'shopped in.

When a movie is over I'll go to the internet and often find my speculations about actual locations were correct.

Nope that wasn't New Hampshire as claimed. It was Utah.

And that's certainly not Los Angeles or New York.

I'm absolutely delighted when Paris is Paris, or Rio de Janeiro is Rio de Janeiro.

One of the most disappointing movies I ever saw was Gravity. Everything was broken about that. I could not suspend my disbelief.
