Cerebro just enhances his abilities to be able to project over greater distances. I think the explanation would be that being psychic isn't the same as 'feeling a disturbance in the force'. If he wasn't looking for her and was in a different place than she was it isn't out of the realm of possibility that she slipped in under the radar. Now if they had run into each other it would seem odd that his spidey-sense wouldn't notice something was off. Of course they might have, been awhile since I have seen the film.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

From the comics anyway he was always very careful not to use his telepathy without cause and not to pry into any and everyone's minds as he met them ..?

Anyway.. so.. in this film this guy turns up to connect the cable, and the lady of the house has just got out of the shower, and then her friend Cindy comes round to use the hot tub... doesn't connect the cable up at all ! He'd so get fired.

Omadon's Realm

A very minor plothole, but one that drives me nuts.

Aliens, one of my all time favourites.

Vasquez is trapped along with Gorman in the vent system, aliens closing in on all sides and Vasquez says...

"you always were an donkey-cave Gorman..."

But, this was their first mission together, they had met only a week ago. It's a totally unconvincing line in what is otherwise an amazing movie.

This seems to happen frequently in these films,I mean..three girls in the house and no one "pays" the pizza delivery guy,c'mon.
Still,they are some of the finest love stories ever to grace the screen.

Why does the woman paint warpaint on her helicopter?!

Not only because it looks UTTERLY RIDICULOUS but because she would want to sneak around easier and not be such an obvious target.

And it looks fething RIDICULOUS

WHY!?!!

And why the feth were the elephant things BULLETPROOF?

And not just regular bullets, big feth off massive robot cannon bullets.

And why if they wanted to clear all the trees, would they send in a ground force without nuking the gak out of the area first with air strikes?!

Because Saruon (you know, that eye on top of the big tower?) would have seen them. Then zapped them and recovered the ring.

Because old Voldey hated muggles, and he hates things created by muggles, they probally dont know what a gun is, and surely a shield charm would stop a bullet. Voldey would have humiliated himself by killing Harry like that, his followers would be like "WTF MAN, THAT WAS gakky".

Then drop them off a couple of miles away from 'the eye'. essentially cutting the last half of the first book the second book and a good chunk of the third (journey wise) out completely.

Were there 4, or 6 holes in this plot?

You know, the book explains this one wonderfully.

Also why was there a "Sauron tower eye" in the movie when he had his physical body back?

Then again, as Kyoto-sama knows, that Tolkien guy got so much wrong when writing that adaptation.

The Land of the Rising Sun

Another very common plot hole, why your average minion/soldier/worker in the disaster movie helps the fat cat politicians to survive the end of the world while he/she is doomed to die?

2012, if I was one of the workers welding the arks I would go on strike unless my family was part of the lucky 400,000 (same if I was a crew member) they can threaten to shoot me if the want but when the alternative is being dead anyway it´s kind of hard to motivate people with threats.

I think they either didn't know exactly what they were working on, or they had been promised a seat on the ship.

I always thought that was meant to imply that there was more to the relationship than the demand for energy; something like enslavement for the sake of enslavement as revenge for the history man's domination over machine.
