Just on the level of sheer spectacle -- and these are movies we're talking about, spectacle is no small matter -- a flick like "Jack the Giant Slayer" has a lot going for it: a perilous daylong climb into the clouds, a castle in the sky worthy of Hayao Miyazaki, waterfalls that drain into thin air and the delightful sight of a 100-foot chef sneezing into his pastries.
Ahead, rising into the stormy clouds, is Mount Ngauruhoe, the massive volcano better known in the films as Mount Doom.
The idea is to inject clouds of material into the stratosphere, creating a thin haze and deflecting some of the sun's rays away from the Earth, at least temporarily.
Such particles act as nuclei for the condensation of water vapour into the droplets of which clouds are composed.
Vegetables are being chopped at lightening speed, steaming pans are emitting fragrant clouds into the air, and orders are being shouted out in Cantonese.
One of the film's recurrent grace notes is a coalescing of puffy clouds into concrete forms -- whatever the beholder wants to feel and see.

Investigators will try to figure out why the plane made such a steep descent into the home and whether the weather conditions -- light rain and low clouds -- played any role, he said.
But as the first stars condensed out of the newly formed atoms, the heat and light they produced would have started to tickle the hydrogen clouds around them into emitting radio signals at a characteristic wavelength of 21cm.
Meanwhile a team of Swiss researchers are harnessing rays of light for an entirely different purpose -- they've figured out a way to create rain clouds by shooting laser beams into the sky.
When Thomas Jefferson described the view from Monticello in 1786, he wrote, "How sublime to look down into the workhouse of nature, to see her clouds, hail, snow, rain, thunder, all fabricated at our feet!"
The cloud characteristics included differences in the ease with which moist air in the tropics travels into the upper atmosphere, the speed with which raindrops fatten and the level of humidity required for clouds to form.
And dumping nutrients such as iron into the sea would be only one-sixth as effective as either sulphate injection or promoting the formation of clouds.
It will study the clouds of gas and dust that go into making stars and planets.

Another would attempt to whiten clouds over the oceans by wafting tiny salt particles up into them.
But if Svensmark was correct, it would mean that periods of high solar output should coincide with reduced cloud formation (due to reduced cosmic ray incidence), which in turn would have a warming effect on the Earth, since less sunlight would be reflected back into space by clouds.
Across quaking peat bogs and through clouds of black, biting flies, we hiked three miles into the backcountry of Newfoundland's austere northern peninsula.
