How many typical TV shows have you seen where the computer expert can just bang on the keyboard while NEVER ever having to stop to backspace or hit return or touch a mouse and hack any other secure computer system or do absurd & ridiculous photo enhancements and other tasks. One show took a still frame from a video, enhanced the reflection in someones glasses and read the tag number on a car across the street in the shade. I bet there is no still camera on the planet that could capture that much detail under ideal conditions.
It is just make-believe, but if you base the story in the current real world keep it at least in the realm of possibilities.

A film prof I had in college quoted his mentor, director/editor Slavko Vorkapich's basic film making objective of "Suspending Disbelief" as a core element of basic story telling. In the end, it's really in the minds of the audience as to what seems plausible versus story elements that force you to say, "Oh, come on now", at which point the film maker, author or story teller has lost you.

In that regard, that's one reason BBad is held in such high esteem.
One of my film pet peeves is showing an explosion that is all napalm and flame for effect. I prefer a more realistic effect that often has none of the above but instead black smoke, shrapnel and a concussive, earth-shaking effect. Think of real WWII battle footage and scenes from Saving Private Ryan and Hurt Locker. Few other films try for that level of realism.
