        I.            Introduction
a.       Introduce movie, special effects oriented
b.      Laws of physics follows our standards in normal life
c.       Hypothesis

     II.            Action-No Reaction; unbalanced forces
a.       Soccer ball drop from high in the air, tiny bounce after - ~43:00
                                                              i.      Ball was high in air for an hour; the bounce should be much higher

  IV.            Increased acceleration/lack of deceleration in objects
a.       Blowing hair after kick toward face
b.      Guy pushed by soccer ball into goal ~1:06
c.       Soccer ball to accelerate into fire in mid air

     V.            Conclusion
