the effects and disaster scenes are even bigger and more spectacular

Yup, watch 2012....only because I did 4 scenes on that movie in Vancouver.

I liked GREENLAND & GEOSTORM both with Gerard Butler

Hi Jen, congratulations on becoming an affiliate on KZfaq, you deserve it. Please give my love to your sister Tara. I recommend these couple of films, "Cloverfield" and "Deepwater Horizon".

2012, it's OK. But for more Jake, you might want to consider 'October Sky' it's really good Jen 😊

yes, 100% agree, that was one thing I really appreciated about the movie. That, and the tax law scene was funny Also the music was perfectly suited to the movie

@@Psi105As a lawyer, I LOL every time I watch the tax law scene!

They also showed that he wasn't an overly prideful person by showing him taking advice on staying warm from the homeless man.

He even encouraged Jake's character to talk to the girl.

Another small reason that contributes why I like this film, also that soundtrack by Harald Kloser. There's a bit of a love story but it's not overly focused on or 'corny'.

Not lately. Atleast in Ontario. Snow didn't hit us last year till almost January.

The wolves were the worst thing in the movie. The science in concept is correct they just speed things up and overexaggerate how it would really happen.

Trust me, the Canadians survived.

I think canadians like me would still survive this movie. We are very tough especially for winters.

@@MethosFilmsaverage Canadian winter.

@@mightheal Yep, there are several scientific papers that point to how too much fresh water entering the oceans could lead to a collapse of the Thermohaline Conveyor.....though never with the speed seen in the movie.

That's so cool!

@@jenmurrayxo You're so cool!

I worked for Central Casting in Hollywood and got know several PA's on weekly shows because I would get called back every month to do background again. They had a rule if you appeared in episode 3 you couldn't work that show again until episode 7. I was in 8 episodes of Grey's Anatomy over 2 seasons. Plus 29 other shows, a tv commercial, a music video and a movie. We did one scene during the movie for a high school graduation. So, they hired a 100 extra's and we filmed all day in different sections of the bleachers. Just moving to different rows so it wouldn't look uniform. 14 hours of filming and sitting in bleachers for about 20 seconds of screen time. LOL

@@Swordsfor200Alex That's wild! I called every friend of mine and got them an extras job for 80-100 bucks a day. But it was just this one flick. A television show with recurring episodes must have been awesome!

COOL gig. LOL. GREAT temp jobs too,quite a feather in your cap.

Giggity

Awesome!

Thank you! :)

"Usually. always positive. Rarely negative." uhuh...nonsense. She barely comments on anything she watches. We aren't expecting an intellectual breakdown (clearly). You sound like you need a hug (or medication).

I think DAY AFTER TOMORROW is a bad title for this film - while it's explained in the story, it's not really a core issue. Every time I hear the title now, I have to continually think of what film is using it. "2012" is immediately defined as That One Film.

As with 2012 and most movies Emmrich directs - if you don't turn your brain off and accept bad (really bad) science and so-so acting ahead of time you are going to have a bad time with his movies. You go for the destruction and spectacle he gives you. Even Moonfall as bad as it was, had some amazing set pieces in it (even if the story was bat shit insane lol). Also let's be real, outrunning "evil bad cold air" at the end was pretty bad though :D

It would've been a better film without the stupid wolves and the sick kid pulling at our heart strings. Both felt intentionally manipulative and pointless. There was plenty else going on in the movie.

@@CharlesP2009 Exactly right. That's the root of my TITANIC issues - "You've got 1600 deaths happening, but THAT isn't tragic enough? You've got to insert a love-triange between a Rich Bad Boy and a working-class stiff?!!" Well... frozen stiff, I mean. haha "Just wriet a better story - no need to manufacture wolves - who should have been frozen solid, too, fur or not. If helos fuel lines freeze, wolves would, too."

​@@JeffGes 😂 A FROZEN STIFF

I nearly snorted my cup of tea out of my nose 😂

I love how she cracked herself up 🤣

This was hyperbole when it was released, but not so much now. Now I worry more about the people who mistake the science of climate change for fantasy….

It's like people who think that "the core", "Armageddon", and "deep impact" are scientifically accurate

If you pay attention every year is getting hotter and in the winter colder,,, so it’s happening but slowly.

Those flooding water scene must have been pure &&&& to film tho. I wonder how long it took to film it.

Thousands impacted. The well-off, white, foreign family gets a movie. That alone is reason to skip it.

@@Ahzpayne not going to apologise for this, but that is a disgusting, horrible, and very ignorant statement. Your comment is everything that is wrong with the absolute nonsense that is 'woke' culture. If you know anything about the film, the fact that it was filmed predominantly in Thailand, used a significant number of local people to both star in, and work on the film, and brought a significant amount of money to the local businesses and people, you wouldn't have such a negative view. I'll leave the last word to someone that was actually there during the Tsunami, these are his words: "Had this film been purely about the tale of a western middle class family's 'ruined' holiday then I would have agreed (with being critical of the film). For me, it was the exact opposite. Rather than concentrating on the 'privileged white visitors', the film portrayed the profound sense of community and unity that I experienced in Thailand, with this family at the centre of it. It was the Thai people who waded through the settled water after the first wave had struck to help individuals and families... The Thai people had just lost everything - homes, businesses, families - yet their instinct was to help the tourists."

@@Ahzpayne Well, yeah, but how a well off family gets to experience such vulnerability and the basic human needs is something that is entertaining. It is a true story in many ways and to limit your representation to not include well off and insured people is unreal. The final scene is a nod to how the real family felt about being rescued by their huge insurance policy. There where so many others that needed that as well. In the midst of crisis everyone where the same though. That is real and maybe that should teach us something.

@@Ahzpayne It’s important to know how the film was made. It was filmed on location in Thailand. A large number of people in the film were survivors of the tsunami. They filmed in the real hospital. Many of the medical staff in the hospital are the real doctors and nurses who were working there through the aftermath. One of the nurses attending to Maria in the film is one of the actual nurses that worked on her. The doctor who operated on her came up and thanked the director for making the movie. The people in the bus station with Henry were real survivors. They rebuilt the entire hotel exactly as it was for the film. I get the criticism of the film centering on a tourist family, but it does a very good job of showing the Thai people working to save everyone they could. And though it shouldn’t be the case, the movie would never have gotten bodies in the seats of the movie theaters if it had focused exclusively on the local population. In fact, the real family was Spanish, but they changed them to British and did the movie in English for that reason. The producers, director, writer, editor and others making the film were Spanish. But it’s important that so many people learned about what happened by seeing the film. And in terms of focusing on those who suffered the most, it wasn’t just Thailand. 230,000 people in 13 countries were killed by the tsunami. It was horrific for every single one of them and there are powerful stories for all of them. Indonesia had 20 times more deaths than Thailand. That doesn’t mean that every movie about the tsunami has to be about Indonesia. This film is one of the most accurate stories put on film. The details that were changed were largely done because they were too brutal or overwhelming to put in a movie. For example, the tsunami stripped them of all of their clothing. So the actors would have had to be naked for a significant portion of the film. In the end, it’s an amazing movie with incredible acting telling a heart-wrenching true story. You don’t have to watch it. But you may be missing something incredible for an oversimplified reason.

@@AhzpayneIn Thailand, 8,000 people died. And 2,000 of them were European tourists. What happened to each of those 8,000 people (as well as the other quarter of a million who died in other countries) is significant and worthy of being told.

Thanks! Hopefully someday! :)

The Core is most definitely not worth a watch. It's completely ludicrous. While you could defend some of the physics behind The Day After Tomorrow, and 2012, there's nothing realistic about The Core, or that stupid travel through the earth's core. And also why it has such low scores.

Most worrisome aspect of this is exactly what the movie depicted more subtly: The models relied upon as "factual" are all theory. And things like timelines are just guesswork. We truly have no idea what timeline might ensue with an abrupt disruption of the salinity and/or currents in our oceans. Making this movie far more disturbing than most will ever understand

The truth is our earth became hotter each year

@@boboboy8189 "The truth is our earth became hotter each year" Yup. But you could have a temporary cooling effect, if the transatlantic current is disrupted. (but I think ultimately it would warm up again as the trend of global warming continues.) Regardless we definitely need to continue to adopt zero emission tech so that we sidestep the worst of it. SOME global warming effect is unavoidable at this point and is in fact already happening. But we still need to press on, as little pollution as possible, while maintaining the same standard of living. 🙂

This is normal weather in Alberta.

Volcano has to be one of my favourite 90s movies. it's just such a bizarre wacky concept and it's kind of campy and crazy, quintissentially 90s imo

Yeah, Volcano is great. Knows how silly it is and has Tommy Lee Jones in full on Tommy Lee Jones mode. Also enjoy the suggestion throughout that LA wholeheartedly deserves to be Volcanoed.

Volcano is fun, but I still prefer Dante's Peak.

Thanks Andrew!

For disasters, it's the more ridiculous the better for me!

@@jenmurrayxo Then you should have no shortage of fun ones for you! 😆

​@jenmurrayxo in a word, react to 2012!

I love "The Core", great fun even if scientifically rubbish

@@martynhill3479 I believe 'gourmet-cheese' is the term you were looking for 😂
