But then it couldn’t be any worse than Dante’s Peak or Volcano (both came out in 1997) and nothing could have been worse than The Day After Tomorrow.
My great nephew who was about 12 years old at the time, was staying with me one weekend when his parents were out of town and we ended up watching The Day After Tomorrow on HBO. We laughed and laughed and laughed at it as if it was a comedy. Even at 12, my great nephew thought it was ridiculous but he liked the special effects. Some movies are just so bad that they are actually good but for completely different reasons than intended. At least the makers of the Sharknado movies are in on the joke.
South Park BTW did a great parody of The Day After Tomorrow.
Season 9, Episode 8 (Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow)
The Core makes those movies look Oscar Worthy......................
PLOT:
The Earth’s molten core has stopped ‘rotating’.
The Earth’s magnetic field has collapsed.
Birds are getting lost on migrations going the wrong way.
Airliners are getting lost, running out of fuel falling out of the sky.
We’re DOOMED!
A team of ‘specialists’ is assembled.
A specially designed ‘vehicle’ is built, based on the design of a hermit scientist living in the desert.
This vehicle can penetrate the Earth’s crust and make its way to ‘The Core’, and not melt while doing it.
Once there, they will strategically place Hydrogen Bombs at spaces surrounding the now solidifying core, melt it and get it spinning again by detonating them sequentially.
You will be aghast at the insipidness of this movie.
One thing to watch for while viewing this contrivance:
REMEMBER WHICH WAY IS “UP”.................................
