Kevin Costner’s Waterworld was the biggest disaster of a film I saw. I even paid to go to the cinema to see it, stupidly. |  |

Yeah the original Poseidon Adventure is excellent.
I have to admit watching Deep Impact it wasn’t the film I thought it was!  |
You thought it was the fun meteor film, Armageddon, didn't you?
Deep Impact is the human emotions meteor film, and it isn't fun at all. |  |

Awful film, tonally all over the place. Also paid money at the cinema.
I'm a fan of a disaster film as Sunday afternoon viewing on a crappy winter day.
Ideally one that makes you laugh at the bits that are meant to be serious. | |

Awful wasn’t it. I’m not the greatest fan really. I still get twitchy in tower blocks because of the Towering Inferno 🤣
I don’t mind a good geological ones. Dante’s Peak was ok iirc. | |

Is like The Day The Earth Stood Still? I like that one. |
Not really the Day the earth caught fire is when we set off nukes shifted the earth nearer the sun, then set off more nukes to move it back.
Day the earth stood still is very much dont play with nukes humans because Gort is going to stop you | | | |

Airport 77 is a good one. Even if it is very far fetched. |  |

It is actually a misquote. The first words were ‘okay Houston…we’ve had a problem here’ were spoken by Jack Swigert. The director, Ron Howard, said that because ‘Houston we have a problem’ was so well known, they decided to leave it in and got Lovell (Tom Hanks) to say the words.
When asked about the inaccuracies in the film (e.g. there was no tension between the crew), Howard said (im paraphrasing) that it had to be remembered they were making a film, not a pure documentary so certain things had to be altered.
However, the main thrust of the film is accurate and it was highly regarded by the real astronauts and people there at the time. It’s a great film. One of my favourites and the best of Tom Hanks too. |
Its not a misquote because they knew they were changing it and it was done that way because it sounded more dramatic.
There are other things that are movie liberty, like Swigert was not considered inexperienced for the mission, so Lovell & Haise were never concerned about his ability to do the job, and the docking was flawless. And theres not a hells chance anyone ever stood that close to a Saturn 5 launch as Mattingley is shown.
Also the startup process for the command module was a team effort not one sole person's
But hey its the most realistic space movie there is, and to think only 3 years later we ended up with the likes of Armageddon or 5 years later Space Cowboys, even Space camp is more realistic than those two films | | | |

I kind of like Waterworld as a Mad Max on water thing, Dennis Hopper was a great villain.
Its problem was the main protagonist, ie Costner, wasn't remotely likeable in the film, even as an antihero. And when the whole film is based around him, thats a problem.
The story itself is fine,action sequences all great, just you know make the characters likeable that the audience are supposed to root for goes along way. | | | |

When worlds collide is a good one very early 1950s sci-fi. I mean we could go John Carpenters The Thing, but I think thats more sci-fi horror.
But i think id actually say Melancholia, probably because its more modern and doesn't rely on the 70s disaster movie tropes. But also *spoilers* they dont escape the disaster. So its the most realistic outcome from the situation they end up in. | | | |
