Yes, even a movie about mutated monsters destroying Chicago has a few things that we can look at.
1. Everything happens because a private space station used to conduct nasty experiments explodes when karma finally hits it, and one crew member's efforts to escape with samples of the mutagen ends when her escape pod bursts apart during re-entry. This spreads the samples of the mutagen all over.
...And by "all over", I mean "one pod hits San Diego, another pod hits Wyoming, and a third pod hits the Everglades".
Could any sort of atmospheric explosion leave a debris field that massive?
2. In one scene, Dwayne Johnson's character threatens someone by saying that he'll choke them out so hard the person will void themselves.
Is this actually possible?

If the escape pod broke apart after it hit the atmosphere, that debris field seems rather large. As for #2, threats are often exaggerated.

As for #2, threats are often exaggerated. 1: kind of depends on whether is explodes, or if it gradually breaks apart. we're talking about a 2500 mile long debris track. as spacecraft reentering the atmosphere is, by my best calculations, going in excess of 20,000 MPH. that means if it takes it 6 minutes to break up, it could theoretically scatter debris that far. - keep in mind, 6 minutes is an eternity in a catastrophic event. #2 were his exact words, "I'll choke the (fecal matter) out of you?" by any chance?

It was more along the lines of "Look, we all know how this is going to end. I'm going to do this to that guy, and then choke you so hard you'll wet yourself in front of the lady here. Do you guys really want that to happen? Just let us go."
