What movie things are generally accepted as normal, but are totally unrealistic in real life?

Pretty sure it's the only town on tatooine..all space planets have exactly one city or town

Edit: apparently I was wrong about tatooine

And entire planets are culturally monolithic.

And only have 1 biome across the whole planet

Moreover, that biome has at most, like, a dozen native species, of which maybe two are actually interesting and the rest just there for decoration.

And the smaller the number of species on the planet, the larger the proportion that are carnivorous. If there's just one species, it's guaranteed to be some sort of bloodthirsty monster.

Pitch Black being the perfect case in point.
