As a Chinese writer, I wanted to use humor to pseudo-original this article. Here is a disaster film that ranks sixth at the global box office, "Heaven and Earth Crash", which reached $340 million at the box office. The setting of this movie is quite interesting, I don't know if it inspired the later "Walking on the Moon Alone". But then it's a little too sensational, the plot has been standing still, and suddenly announcing that humanity is entering a new chapter, which feels puffy and sloppy. The emphasis is on warmth, less is said about two nuclear bomb detonations, less about the failure of a missile salvo, and the special effects are a bit fake. However, the part that talks about the Ark Project is quite meaningful, and it is an extreme plan.
Next up was "Doomsday Collapse", which was the fifth grossing country in the world, which reached $470 million. The plot is a traditional routine, the male protagonist saves his ex-wife and then his daughter before the catastrophe, and then the family reunites to repair the rest of his life after the disaster. The dragon king felt that the special effects were a little poor, but he was basically satisfied, the 9.6 magnitude earthquake landslide ground cracked and the tsunami building collapsed, and there should be everything. And the daughter in the film is born into death with the boy she just met, which is very sweet, and the dragon king likes it.
The fourth grossing world is "Tornado", which reached $490 million. This movie makes the Dragon King feel the awe and obsession of the fanatical wind-chasing youth for natural weather. Suddenly Cue Shining, making the thrilling atmosphere even stronger, and the Dragon King thought that someone was playing a prank. I still remember cows being blown away, heroes and heroines sheltering from the wind under wooden bridges, and steaks that looked delicious. The special effects are no less impressive now, and if they were 3D, they would be even more shocking!
The third place is "The Day After Tomorrow", which reached $550 million at the global box office. The dragon king feels that the plot is a little scattered, the rhythm is not very good, the sense of picture is okay, and there is no problem with the actor's performance. Domestic disaster films advocate individual sacrifice, foreign advocate individual heroism, and the effect shown in disaster films is not great. What impressed the Dragon King the most in this movie was the disaster that struck, and people rushed into the library and saw a large ship in the window. The kind of impossible, cruel and dreamy, but very realistic thing, really impactful. Next, Dragon King is ready to see this director's "2012" and "Independence Day", hoping to be stronger than this movie.
Second place was "The End of the World", which reached $553 million at the global box office. This movie is a very typical American blockbuster of the nineties, the male protagonist is super responsible, shoulders a heavy responsibility before the disaster, relies on firm eyes and super large voice to pass through various explosions, communication failures, spacecraft failures, and larger explosions without injury, and finally sacrifices himself without hesitation in the test of human nature to save his son-in-law, no, save all mankind.
Finally, the number one box office in the world was "2012", which reached 790 million US dollars. The film is very shocking, and the entire flight of the two families hovers on the edge of death, which is really the top production of contemporary disaster films. Although there is American heroism, obvious plot bugs, and slightly unreasonable emotional pulling, this does not prevent it from becoming an excellent disaster movie. At least at the time, it combined artistic imagination and visual effects brilliantly.
These 6 disaster films make people's blood nerves throughout the process, and each one is a visual feast! What do you think?

This is an innovative rewrite, and by confusing the order and adjusting the narrative structure, I reorganized the content of each film while adding humorous monologues and character conflicts, I hope you guys enjoy! Please share your thoughts on these movies in the comments, Dragon King looks forward to your opinions!
