There are few filmmakers who enjoy destroying the world as much as producer/director Roland Emmerich does, as he’s proven with such movies as Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow and 2012. In the case of the latter, things start off with Earth’s core being heated by a massive solar flare. As a result, in the near future, the world will be rocke...
Released a little over half-a-century ago, Airport is credited with launching the disaster film genre. The formula is certainly there: gather a variety of characters from different walks of life (who are, of course, played by big-name celebrities like Dean Martin, Helen Hayes and Burt Lancaster), get to know them a bit and watch as they’re thrown i...
From the novel of the same name by Michael Crichton (Jurassic Park, ER), this is a chilling thriller about an extraterrestrial organism that penetrates the atmosphere and crashes into a small town in Arizona, wiping out its population. Scientists desperately do what they can to get this virus under control before it spreads. Given everything we’ve ...
We’re telling you upfront: Do not go into this film expecting an experience in any way similar to James Cameron’s Titanic (most notably, the fact that there is no Rose or Jack). That being said, this is nonetheless a powerful and dramatic look at the journey of the RMS Titanic from England’s Southampton to New York City, disrupted in the North Atla...
There’s a huge asteroid on a direct course for Earth (don’t you hate when that happens?) which, if allowed to strike the surface, would create an extinction event in line with the one that wiped out the dinosaurs. The only solution, according to NASA’s Dan Truman (Billy Bob Thornton), is to land a spacecraft on the asteroid, drill into it and set o...
When scientist Roger Summers (Martin Cummins) discovers frozen animal corpses in Alaska, he finds an environmentalist who had warned the scientific community of a world-threatening global freezing, but was ignored. As usually happens when such things are dismissed as being the ravings of a madman, those things play out exactlyhow he predicted they ...
When Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) mysteriously dies, her husband, Mitch (Matt Damon), is told by doctors that they can’t figure out the cause. When others die in the same manner, it’s concluded that a virus has been unleashed and it’s a race to identify and contain it while developing a vaccine. In between, the film looks at the impact on society ...
In a way, this one sounds like old-school sci-fi in that Aaron Eckhart plays geophysicist Dr. Josh Keyes, who is another in a long line of scientists discovering something that threatens all life on Earth. In this case, it’s the fact that for some reason the planet's inner core is no longer rotating, the result of which is our atmosphere is coming ...
Volcanologist Harry Dalton (Pierce Brosnan) and Dante Peak Mayor Rachel Wando (Linda Hamilton) realize that the greatest volcanic eruption in history is about to happen, bringing with it destructive power equal to a multitude of atomic bombs. Besides trying to get the populace to evacuate, Wando’s kids are missing on a rescue mission to get their g...
Before he destroyed much of the world in 2012, filmmaker Roland Emmerich gave it a practice shot in The Day After Tomorrow. A big hit at the box office, the plot (which shows that these disaster films definitely fall into a formula) has Dennis Quaid’s climatologist Jack Hall being ignored by officials when he shows them proof of potential danger on...
