Given the trending of Contagian and Outbreak over the last few months I'd say they are.silverharp wrote: »looks fun, but interesting if disaster movies aren't top of people's lists these days?

Isn't every Gerard Butler movie a disaster movie?
His is such a weird career: I don't think he's a bad actor, but either by accident or design seems to have carved a very distinct niche for himself. The goto lead for those B-movies that aren't quite trash enough to summon Nicholas Cage onto set, but equally not big enough for a ubiquitous release. Least that's now it feels. He has done all right for himself mind you, not bad for a guy from Paisley.0 -

a bit late in the reply here, but those movies are found in the documentary section now :pac:A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

I was on the fence, but that's made up my mind to watch tonight
100% on RT so far too. It's only from 6 reviews but still, that's very good for a Disaster popcorn flick0 -

Yet the pivotal Kind Stranger role, the one who most demonstrably saved the family from immediate death, was a white Canadian. If we're going down that road. Though the Canucks are genetically kinder anyway
A fairer read would be along class lines IMO. Not without reason it was those already on the edges of society, before the meteor fell, that helped the leads. Those already living on charity and desperation finding it easier to pay it forward than the suburban middle class who turned into monsters at the first sign of trouble. THAT'S a theme seen loads of times previous.
Butler's dad of course being the "salt of the earth" working man, more pragmatic in the face of annihilation. The film had an angle on class, not race - though the two are inextricably linked in America IMO0 -

Im not sure I'd want to test that theory in real life but far as the film goes my comment was specifically about the random characters they bumped into, i wouldnt include the pilot as they were seeking him out or the dad in that group, plus in the truck the white working class guy was the racist.A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

So what you're saying is both our readings are flawed, and that "Greenland", the Gerard Butler film, mightn't be as clever or subtextual as we might assume
Naw, the pilot has to count given hedecided to take the family, despite the fact the plane was overweight already and they were late to the airport. Heck Butler's character played chicken with the plane, I can't say I'd have been so accommodating after trying to kill everyone.0 -

eehh , they were seeking out someone that clearly had good intentions, as you mentioned above it was in Canada so kind of lends itself to the character type. I'm not saying they went out of their way to make a racist film , all the main characters were White and decent people, it was like they had to throw a bone where they had a little bit of freedom.A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
