Damn right! Like he said, that guy on TV, the “governor”, is just an actor reading a script. A moron posing as a “respected member of upper class society”. He tells you only wants the government WANTS you to know! They couldn’t care less about the people. The simple peasant folk like the rest of us who ARENT filthy rich. We are just pawns for them to use in their political games until THEIR goals are achieved. They don’t give a damn about the people so long as THIER lives aren’t threatened!

I keep anticipating he would say “panic” instead of “run” on that last part. 😂

Roland Emmerich masterpiece

i think the best detail is the broken sewer line. never before have i seen an apocalypse movie consider utility services besides power...

That been rebranded as AI. Now even my vacuum comes with AI.

I was thinking how bad the CGI was.

What was impractical was when then thought they could bring all of those people on the ship and the Presidents Daughter gets her own room with the guy that demanded they bring in all of those people . That is how our thought pattern seems to work . Make as many people follow the rules so you can break them and have more for yourself.

Real car guy 😎

The car was an investment. Yeah, sure, it was not precious than his own life - but it takes some time for a modern human to understand he's in a life or death situation. Jackson spent hours upgrading, cleaning and maintaining that car - it was his pride and joy. And now its buried in a sinkhole, never again to see light of day... unless excavated in an archeological dig by whichever ultra-sapient species succeeds humanity.

I think that was their one allotment of the f-word for a pg-13 movie. Well placed, well used.

I came for this comment. I made a comment about a movie and a family trying to escape being killed, the wife and daughter were being hesitant about jumping to another building wasting time. That convincing attitude the husband was giving was not realistic, if it’s about living or dying real people don’t have time for your fear, panics or not listening. It’s move your fucking ass before you get us killed. People tried making all the excuses and I was like, and I was like all y’all would be dead quick and easy. In real life, you better move your ass

I like how the volume of the background noise drops for a sec so we can clearly hear that line.

My favorite line in the movie.

And there is that scene where Yuri is falling

It was destruction after destruction. Pure pleasure

I’ll tell you one thing that isn’t CGI. You’ll find this impressive. Most earthquake films just shake the camera and have actors pretend there’s an earthquake. Roland Emmerich did things differently; he had his team build big shaking platforms that could simulate earthquakes. You can actually kind of see them moving in some parts of this video.

yeah. it's weird that some people complain about it being CGI. what do they want, an actual apocalypse happening and someone recording it? if anything, the CGI that this movie has is miles better than current movies' CGI

Good wipers lol

😂I was literally yelling this at the screen. It's so dumb. He obviously had enough speed. He could have been way above it by the end lol.

😂 He intentionally made it more difficult than it had to be, for lore purposes.

He wasn't able to go up because he didn't get to the required speed to take off, he was just barely able to even stop it from going straight down he took off at 80 knots when he needed 85 to be able to fly properly.

Exept the main character because, despite being a completely average joe, he can dangle above fault lines, jump craters like a stunt man, has the strength of a powerlifter, and can learn new skills on the fly and in the face of watching the world burn.

@@Mike-hn4uu Yeahhh, it can be bothering sometimes. No one likes Mary Sue characters

And with that, I give you your 100th like! Congratulations! 😁

@@Mike-hn4uu and how do we know he was an 'average' joe(at least in this movie), most people learn skills on the fly, usually because they have to or die, and trust me you'd be surprised what you can do when it LITERAL do or die, and the adrenaline(and fear) is pumping overtime

Pretty much, yeah. Especially now where most movies have absolutely shit CGI

It's like the Warthog run from Halo 3, driving across the Halo ring as it's exploding and falling apart around you. One of the coolest missions of all time.

This reminds me of when GTA games had a code you could put in for "Riot mode" where all the pedestrians were super aggressive and some had RPG's and Molotov's. After I finished the game I would put that code in and then me and my friends would make up certain points on the map we had to get to without dying. Spent hours having fun doing that.

Hey guys. How the pilot died?

​@@peterparker931I noticed a small pool of blood around his head. So I was thinking when the earthquake started, the ground underneath him was jerking so violently, he lost his balance and hit his head on the ground *really* hard, killing him.

Gordon: 😠 Jackson: sorry 😬

Bros like: come on! your the reason why the world is EnDiNg totally not blaming you for no reason

He was just trying to get out of the predicament that Jackson put him through, because their pilot was killed, and they needed a replacement. And the fact that he had little experience in flying planes. Just a couple lessons in single engine planes. That was the first time he had ever flown a two engine plane. Yet, he handled it like a boss……sort of.

Under the table’s not safe.

Move your ass

@@JackBright8899 Global warming is a lie bro, at least the way the greedy politicians tell it

Truth be told, the level of destruction depicted in this scene is simply never going to happen. It's sure fun to watch, though.

Yeah, I really hated that about the movie. It would have been more realistic for him to live and the estranged father have to come to terms with the fact he lost his family instead of conveniently offing stepfather for a cliched happy ending.

While I agree he was useful, the father carried everyone. He saved his family, encouraged the stepfather to fly the planes, had crucial intel on the arks etc.

Not to mention his death was pretty fucking brutal. Yeesh.

No they got their real dad back not some cheap replacement like most step fathers are. Good won

I like to think everyone had their karma back! I think Gordon's was for wanting to leave Jackson behind when he almost fell in the void in Yellowstone(even though it was almost impossible for him to come out alive, and I think what Gordon did was the logical thing thinking Jackson obviously died). Just for not having faith on Jackson coming out alive and wanting to "leave him behind" he got the bad karma, which would pay off.

Might be why they made it the Santa Monica Airport with its small runway and planes. If they had to get to LAX that's where they'd get stuck in traffic

It's not the Los Angeles it's just Los Angeles. Los means the in Spanish.

@@justlive2809 Those movies still have rules they need to abide by. You can't just have your heroes do impossible stuff because 'lol, magic/science-fiction'. Yes, they can do things that don't exist in our world, but they still have to establish their own rules and follow them. Don't mistake lack of realism for 'you can get away with anything'. A movie/book needs to set up its world and characters first and establish their abilities and what's possible in the world as a whole and then they need to stick to that throughout the entire thing and if something breaks away from it, they need to have an explanation for why that is.

That and it failed to gain altitude and seems to have been diving deep into the earth at some point. I mean, it's an airplane, it goes up. Are they implying that the land rose up faster than the airplane did? It was fun, but the whole time I"m shaking my head.

He wasn't maneuvering at all, the ground itself was tilting out of his way. 😂

He didn't really know how to fly, but he plane had a top notch autopilot.

@@jonbaker3728 With that amount of ground falling down below it there has to be some massive turbulences / downdrafts from the air rushing down to fill the void. Planes move through air, not space, so if the air is going down, the plane is going with it. You can exchange altitude for speed and vice versa, so he dives down to gain more airspeed and better maneuverability.

idk if we've been watching the same video, but in almost every scene the ailerons have massive deflection unless they are flying in a straight line or when the plane is affected by turbulence from falling buildings/ the ground caving in.

As Ryan from pitch meetings would say “suspension of disbelief” or “get off the writers back on this one, wayyyy off” 😂😂😂

To be fair, I'm pretty sure the idea was that a lot of this was dumb luck and Jackson didn't have a clue what he was doing.

Not to mention the literal tons of armor that limo must have had to have bounced off of and plowed through so much without the motor dying.

All the armor that limo had and a trash can takes off the door straight away. Bet that bin survived the apocalypse

Nah, you're a pro driver only in America. Nowhere near the skills of a driver from a congested, populated country like India, where pretty much everyone is forced to develop insane driving skills to wade through chaotic stuff like this on a daily basis. There's a saying - if you have mastered the skills to survive through the roads in India, you can survive pretty much in any part of the world.

We need protagonist in every movie dude 😂

This came around the same time as avatar and imo this visually competes with 2012.

The dumbest thing about the plot is that they probably could have saved most of humanity if they'd actually informed people and put them to work. Just imagine how many more arks could have been built if everyone knew their survival hinged on it, completely diverting all human effort towards preparation instead of keeping everyone unaware. Dumb, dumb writing.

@@BDNeon yeah, no. If you informed the world of such impending disaster all that it would do would cause chaos. And who decides who gets to go in the arks? Is everyone else just going to sit back and quietly accept their fate? It would be pure chaos. If anything like this were to ever happen in real life, rest assured they'd tell us nothing.

​@@shaunsteele6926 can't imagine a Billion people go in panic when they know it

When it first came out, I never watched it because I would be freaking out about that it might actually happen in real life. But, it didn’t. I ended up watching the movie on the 10th anniversary of that infamous date.

I know how you feel. It was horrible and completely tragic for all of those poor people. Imagine being in their shoes. The whole world is crumbling and you don’t know what to do or where to go to escape. All you can do is pray and hope for a peaceful afterlife. Everyone is afraid to die. It sickens me that they knew it was going to happen and yet they didn’t warn them. They just let them all die. I would’ve found another way.

Yes
