At 15:45 you got wrong, it's not a tsunami, tsunamis are caused by underwater earthquakes, this part here is what meteorologists call a storm surge, like in a hurricane/cyclone/typhoon, the sea level raises and flood the coastal area of where is the big storm
This movie will always hold a special place in my heart. This was the last movie I saw with my dad before he unexpectedly passed away. My brother was with us and he kept on making me laugh (especially about the wolves) and my dad was embarrassed and kept telling us to be quiet, even though we were adults, so we laughed even harder. It used to make me sad but whenever I see it now, I smile.
Lol yes! that's why they're called Science "Fiction". These movies are meant to be an exaggeration of real life. They're meant to entertain. Fiction writers studies and then take that factual information and turn them into a caricature. It weirds me out when people act so surprised a "fiction" movie or book is unrealistic. If you want realistic then watch a documentary or a biopic. You're not meant to take "fiction" as anything factual. Again, they're only meant to entertain.
@@maldita97 I've noticed this with a lot of reactors and reviewers lately, to the point some legit get mad that something isn't real or realistic. It's almost like everyone's gotten so used to realistic movies and Reddit nitpicks that they can't just enjoy stories for what they are. If your only problem with a movie is "That would never happen"...ummm, do you even movie? That's the whole point of fiction...it's never happened.
That wasn't a Tsunami, it was the storm surge. The water gets pushed ashore by the wind instead of in waves. They occur during hurricanes and are what cause the most damage. The ships coming ashore is a real thing. When Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston we had several huge shipping vessels get pushed out of the ports and eventually rested in the middle of the streets.
It’s not supposed to be super realistic, it’s a disaster movie! But it is more realistic than 2012 and movies like San Andreas. 2012 had me rolling my eyes in so many scenes, dodging falling buildings and driving like stuntmen. At least this movie is avoiding disaster in realistic ways.
Fun fact: the director/writer of The Day After Tomorrow also helmed the movie 2012 (as well as Independence Day, its sequel, and a variety of other disaster themed blockbusters).
The Impossible isn't classified as a Disaster Movie. It's a biopic with a disaster in it. Disaster Movies take the "What If? senerio and exaggerates it. Disaster Movies aren't supposed to be real. They're hyper-realistic fictions. That's what makes them fun to watch. The Impossible wasn't a 'fun' watch because it was based on real events and real people died.
According to Wikipedia, The Impossible is classified as a disaster film. It's a movie about a natural disaster. Disaster movies don't have to be fictional.
Uh, yes, it is classified as a disaster movie. You know why? Because a natural disaster and the immediate aftermath are the whole setting of the movie. Obviously.
I watched this when it came out, I was 8 I think. Made me so scared of hail and I live in sweden lol. I think I spent years worrying that giant golfball-sized hail would come down and kill me. In reality the real worry is snow and giant icicles falling onto you when you're walking below tall buildings
The lead British scientist is played by Sir Ian Holm, who had a stellar career and is probably best known to movie audiences as Bilbo Baggins in the LOTR movies.
No one ever reacts to this movie. In sad you guys couldn't suspend disbelief enough to enjoy this more, or that it wasn't really your cup of tea. I watch this movie every year at least once when the temp dips below 0. While I hate the part with the wolves, I like the rest of it.
Anytime I was supposed to be studying for an exam, this movie would be on and I'd get sucked in. I like that there's a layer of realism in it such as besides having books to burn for warmth, staying in a historical library makes sense because those buildings were made to withstand war, unlike newer construction.
As a younger millennial, this movie was so impactful considering the year it came out with natural tragedies like the South East Asian Tsunamis in 04’ & USA’s Mass floods & Hurricanes in 05’. Made me question my mortality a lot at 12 years old especially with mainstream news circulating death statistics day in and day out.
I remember going to see this in theaters when I just turned 18 with my mom. This movie is still so effective and very good. I still get goosebumps watching this film it's most definitely a classic. 🙏🏼 Great reaction you guys. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
"40 miles, you're not doing that in a day." Actually, the avg human walks at a pace of about 4 miles per hour, so 40 miles is a 10 hour hike. People used to do that pretty regularly before we had cars. There are super long distance races where, instead of covering a set distance as fast as possible, they have a set time and try to cover as much distance as possible. Some of those races are 24 hours, and the winners will cover over 100 miles.
As someone that fell through ice into freezing water, hypothermia doesn't happen fast enough to feel warm. I have never been so cold before or since and I've been out in deep negatives (Fahrenheit). It took me a shower and a bath to feel like I was okay again. The cold kind of jolts and locks your limbs. The air rushes out of your lungs in one surprising dash. There's a lot to fight against. Anyways...stay off the ice, haha :p If it ever happens to you, stay calm, swim with wide motions, and try to 'crawl' back out of the water and onto the ice to spread your body weight. If it's too brittle, just make towards shore and break the damn ice then. It doesn't have feelings. Or maybe just stay off the ice. Your choice.
Emmerich is very underrated. a movie can make you feel you're in subzero in the middle of a very hot summer is what movies are made for: immersion and magic. and hopefully, a learning to carry home with.
This movie lives in my head rent-free because of the South Park episode on it. To this day, "cliche dissenting Republican" and Randy's "WE DIDN'T LISTEN" never stop being funny for me.
I was literally obsessed with this movie as a kid I always sat down and watched it when it came on basic cable lol edit: also yes, tornadoes form from the ground up.
Disaster movies messed me up as a kid big time lol Any rumble or suspicious sound I was like "Oh well, this is how it happens huh?" This one and 2012 gave me major anxiety 😂
This is my favourite disaster movie. My step dad introduced me to it when he first started dating my mum when I was super young, and he had learned I was interested in natural disasters. Will always hold a special place in my heart.
Actually many people misinterpret the fact that tornadoes form sky to ground when actually tornadoes form ground to sky. That explains why you see the dirt swirling on the ground first and that is what sucks the cloud down looking like it’s forming sky to ground. When a tornado is fully formed the say it has touched down because the funnel has met the ground circulation
I’m such a weather nerd (if I didn’t become a mental health therapist I’d prolly be a meteorologist). I completely understand when y’all mean Dennis quaid doesn’t understand what he is saying 😅😅 “upper troposphere“
I think the most significant thing that I got from this movie is be careful who you lock out of your country because you might need them to open theirs up to you.
It had a huge impact on me when I was younger and is something that I still think of now as an adult. Like a global version of "do good unto others". You look at situations around the world and you never know when a disaster will strike and you'll be the one who loses your home. Whether it's state to state (we had tons of people come to Texas after Katrina hit) or country to country. You can only be lucky for so long.
😂 "yall ain't that special." This isn't my fav disaster movie. 2012 is my favorite. It had me from the beginning... the impossible is good but doesn't show the full scope of the disaster for me. I think you have to seperate disaster movies into two camps. SIngle disasters and major disasters. Singles are things like tsunamis or tornadoes. Major disasters are world wise or multiple types happening at the same time. The Impossible is in the single catagory and this is in the major.
I watched 2012 in theatres, and yes the writing is shit but the VFX and the disasters in it are the best I've ever seen in a movie. Worth seeing just for the chaos
I agree (2012) is far better and takes itself way less serious. It's definitely my favorite background movie. I can put it on and do other things but then some scenes will have me glued to keep watching lol
@@dragontears I think it’s kind of crazy they predicted Covid in a movie with the place it originated, the animal that started it, symptoms, how it gets into your system through your nose. Starting to see this more and more with certain movies, it’s like we are living a weird simulation lol. I also remember reading an article that contagion actually could be out there
Actually, for some reason I liked "2012" more than "The Day After..." Something about being able to go on a big ship during natural disaster sounds promising lol Being frozen in New York just sounds horrible....
Loved the reaction. Yall just cracked me up when you were naming superheroes who can save the day like thats so relatable. When yall said spongebob I lost it.
The Day After Tomorrow was released in 2004, at that time the production in this was insane, and this was also one of the first "disaster movies" so it was pretty revolutionary on its own. Based-on-true-story movies like the impossible, always hit a different spot cause you know whatever disaster they present did happen, I would not consider that film a disaster film, more like drama. The scenarios from disaster films such as this are so unlikely (yet not impossible), this one is not meant to make you cry, or get emotional, it's just disaster...... Maybe instead of comparing it to the impossible, compare it to other actual disaster movies like 2012 or so. Great reaction guys, I love you, was really looking forward to this one definitely one of my favourites, like you said, a classic you never get tired of watching.
Dante's Peak with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton and Volcano with Tomie Lee Jones both came out years before The Day After Tomorrow. And a whole slew of others too. The genre is actually pretty old.
SO glad you're watching this. it's such an interesting movie because it's like 20 years old now so we're technically living in it's best case scenario. This movie was supposed to be a warning about climate change and the writer and director worked with climate scientists [and dramatically exaggerated] weather events that ACTUALLY occur now. the subway flooding, the snow/freezing temperatures in texas [i've endured a polar vortex], people freezing to the death, even the giant hail storms. those are all things that have and do happen now [look up buffalo snow storm 2022]...the rising water is the next big event and if you youtube hurricane sandy or nyc flooding you'll find horror stories about people drowning in basements and swimming through electrified subway stations. this movie is prophetic in a really eerie way.
I loved this movie when it came out and I still find it ridiculously entertaining today. Two other great disaster movies that I never see get enough love from reaction channels are Volcano and Dante's Peak. Both fun 90s popcorn flicks.
I loved both of them! And also Twister; I’m from Mexico and my family lives close to the volcano called Popocatépetl and has been very active the last couple of weeks, it’s scary
As Canadians, snow survival is part of our lives, people would survive well enough but it wouldn’t be easy you would just have to educate yourselves on how to do it
I love this disaster movie because it is a combination of many scenarios that can become reality, some silliness, the fight for survival, politics and so many other realistic and unrealistic aspects Just enjoy the movie! I have many times. 😊
Volcano, Dante's Peak and Twister are the best disaster movies in my opinion. Deep Impact is also pretty good (As is anything with Morgan Freeman). Armageddon is probably the biggest blockbuster disaster movie, but not nearly as good as the other, at least in terms of plot.
To answer the question about flooding at was asked about 15:00 minutes in, yes, the water could continue to rise if you got enough and you were in some kind of valley. I like in St. Louis, MO and we experienced flash flooding last year and because of 6 inches of rain over the course of 3 days, we got 9 feet of sitting water. I had to be rescued from my job by the fire department. People near my house had water even higher, they had to be rescued by boat because the water had gotten as high as the second story of their homes. FEMA was called in. It was wild. And the craziest part is that we never knew we sat near the bottom of a very large, very gradual hill that spanned over miles. I was in the center of the city and it flooded enough that our main streets looked like rivers.
It's calm in the middle of a hurricane not a tornado and yes a tornado forms from the ground up and connects mid air. Hurricanes are massive and last days and tornadoes usually last only a few minutes.
I don’t think they could have picked a better building in the vicinity seeing as how there’s multiple fireplaces and it’s a mega library with nearly endless burning material! That’s what I’d pick if I were that close and had a choice.
Guys...The Impossible is not a disaster movie. It's a biopic. This movie isn't in the same genre. True disaster movies are over the top and exaggerated on purpose. They aren't supposed to be realistic. The Impossible is literally real.
Disaster movies are my favorite genre of rewatch movies!! The Impossible is not a disaster movie to me it’s a true story retelling. Disaster movies to me are conspiracy based and just good fun! Dante’s Peak was my first disaster movie from my childhood and I still love it! Also tornados do sometimes seem to form at the bottom before it meets in the sky because it’s the wind circulation and most of what you see during a tornado is the debris in the circulation. And I think he’s thinking about the center of a hurricane being calm not a tornado 😂
This is probably my favorite reaction from you guys, so far. The observations y’all were making were great and plus all the funny little side comments too lol
I know this movie gives off Final Destination vibes, but my geology professor in college showed this every year in class because he said if climate change were to get to this point (which he said was possible) this is the most realistic movie showing what could happen in terms of natural disasters. So yeah, seems impossible but the experts say it’s actually very much possible.
This movie freaked me tf out when it came out because I was like “oh is this a hammed up version of what could actually happen?” and that absolutely terrified me haha
I remember watching this movie in high school because my science teacher tried to tie into the curriculum. Spent three days of classes watching this since it's such a long film. You guys are great! Keep up the awesome reactions. I recommend 27 Dresses, The Wedding Planner and Aquamarine for future reaction videos! ♥
whenever i see a lot of brids flying im always on alert because ive seen movies like this, my friends and family always think im papanoid and im like i rather be paranoid and aware than be caught unaware of a natural disaster like the first few moments can be vital to ones survival.
I saw this in the theater with my parents and we loved it! Its a pretty impressive disaster movie, and even though its scientifically inaccurate, you makes you wonder is something like this would happen a year or 100 years from now.
I would love to see you guys react to Everest (2015) and 127 Hours (2010), both are incredible movies based on a true story, I think you would enjoy them!
oh zuff, tornados DO form from the ground, at least half of it does; it meets in the middle with the rotating winds coming downward from the sky. TIME TO WATCH TWISTER! another seriously great disaster movie, holds up insanely well
Since you are too young the VP was a resemblance of Dick Cheney. The VP of Pres. G. Bush. The Meteorologists say this will never happen but the ice shelves are breaking, glaciers are melting and the last couple of years there has been tornados in LA. 🤔 There are two movies are worth watching: The finest hours with Chris Pine true story, and I don't remember the title, its about the tsunami in SE Asia, maybe some one will tell you! Again a true story.😥😥😥
This film isn't supposed to be realistic, but even so, I couldn't stop cringing when y'all were saying things like "the center of a tornado is calm" (because, no) and "that [level of flooding] can't happen" (not that fast, but yes). Ouch.
People are doomed. If not by wars, then by natural disasters. Someday. Any day. We will never know when our time comes. It’s scary to think about. And it could be anything. Literally anything could kill us. The most unexpected things could mean our end. Life is crazy.
Government officials igorning sound and proven science about the climate?? Ground breaking. Truly a "movie-only" trope 😒😂😂 fr though, love this reaction 🤙
Don't try to compare this to The Impossible, which was a true story and more of a drama that happened to be about a realistic natural disaster. This one, and other disaster movies are more about the massive extents of natural disasters, and are usually pretty cheesy and over the top (way too many close calls). Still enjoyable of course - just not the same genre at all. The Day after Tomorrow is one of my go-to guilty pleasure movies to just put on when I dunno what else to watch, haha.
The irony is that when you get cold, you get warmer and warmer. Like, I remember going home during a really bad winter, and by the time I got to the door, I couldn't feel my legs or hand, I had to wait about 15-20mins just to get out the keys and open the door. And every step I made at home, it was like my feet were in boiling water. And then I turned the water on, at first it was supposed to be very cold, and it probably was, but it felt extremely hot to my hands. In the book that written after this movie, it was stating the same, when people were freezing to death they felt warmer and warmer, and then hotter to the point it hurt like it burnt.
I´m so glad you guys did this reaction, this is one of my favorite chilhood movies and almost no one knows about it among the bunch of reaction channels out there :D
For disaster movies I like, the first 2 definitely classics 1. The towering inferno 2. The posiedon adventure 3. Twister 4. Dantes peak The 1st 2 are from the 70s or early 80s Another called airport 77 or something like that. Also from the 70s Have more but those will do

The ships coming ashore is a real thing. When Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston we had several huge shipping vessels get pushed out of the ports and eventually rested in the middle of the streets.
Yep...same in Mrytle Beach, not huge shiiping vessels, but we had boats in the middle of South Ocean Blvd, just across from Springmaid Pier.
My man seems obsessed with tsunamis, lol! He said the word Tsunami, Idk how many times, but a lot.😂😂
Tusnamis are far more powerful and far deadlier than storm surges. Apples and oranges.
Uh. Wind is what causes most waves
@@distantraveller9876 Yes, tsunamis are exponentially more destructive than storm surges. What they showed in the movie was a storm surge.

The Day After Tomorrow was released in 2004, at that time the production in this was insane, and this was also one of the first "disaster movies" so it was pretty revolutionary on its own. Based-on-true-story movies like the impossible, always hit a different spot cause you know whatever disaster they present did happen, I would not consider that film a disaster film, more like drama. The scenarios from disaster films such as this are so unlikely (yet not impossible), this one is not meant to make you cry, or get emotional, it's just disaster...... Maybe instead of comparing it to the impossible, compare it to other actual disaster movies like 2012 or so. Great reaction guys, I love you, was really looking forward to this one definitely one of my favourites, like you said, a classic you never get tired of watching.
Dante's Peak with Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton and Volcano with Tomie Lee Jones both came out years before The Day After Tomorrow. And a whole slew of others too. The genre is actually pretty old.
zuff is so funny omg
SO glad you're watching this. it's such an interesting movie because it's like 20 years old now so we're technically living in it's best case scenario. This movie was supposed to be a warning about climate change and the writer and director worked with climate scientists [and dramatically exaggerated] weather events that ACTUALLY occur now. the subway flooding, the snow/freezing temperatures in texas [i've endured a polar vortex], people freezing to the death, even the giant hail storms. those are all things that have and do happen now [look up buffalo snow storm 2022]...the rising water is the next big event and if you youtube hurricane sandy or nyc flooding you'll find horror stories about people drowning in basements and swimming through electrified subway stations. this movie is prophetic in a really eerie way.
This movie, The Core, and Volcano were key disaster movies I grew up with and LOVE. Although Volcano isn't a global disaster like the other two.
“i want you to be realistic with me”☹️
I loved this movie when it came out and I still find it ridiculously entertaining today. Two other great disaster movies that I never see get enough love from reaction channels are Volcano and Dante's Peak. Both fun 90s popcorn flicks.
I was absolutely traumatised by Volcano as a kid and can still remember some of the scenes vividly lol
Both are great, both deeply traumatised me as a child when i watched them; and i have watched them multiple times since haha
I loved both of them! And also Twister; I’m from Mexico and my family lives close to the volcano called Popocatépetl and has been very active the last couple of weeks, it’s scary
@@deedeestardust2535 Oh wow! That's crazy. And I'm actually leaving for Mexico (from Norway) in about a month :o Stay safe!
imagine if zuff actually get sponsor by apple 😂
This is my favorite reaction for how serious but unserious it was.
Loved the laughs and jokes and the movie of course
This one's my guilty pleasure disaster movie lol. I love it so much, gotta rewatch it sometime soon!
As Canadians, snow survival is part of our lives, people would survive well enough but it wouldn’t be easy you would just have to educate yourselves on how to do it
This was my favourite movie for the longest time, and I had such a crush on Jake Gyllenhaal
2012 and San Andreas next 😂
I love this disaster movie because it is a combination of many scenarios that can become reality, some silliness, the fight for survival, politics and so many other realistic and unrealistic aspects
Just enjoy the movie! I have many times. 😊
I hate how people just assume this movie is a documentary and should be taken realistically. No. It’s just a great action movie.
Volcano, Dante's Peak and Twister are the best disaster movies in my opinion. Deep Impact is also pretty good (As is anything with Morgan Freeman). Armageddon is probably the biggest blockbuster disaster movie, but not nearly as good as the other, at least in terms of plot.
This list is 100% 90s bangers! 😎
Also, Night of the Twisters is pretty good as well
To answer the question about flooding at was asked about 15:00 minutes in, yes, the water could continue to rise if you got enough and you were in some kind of valley. I like in St. Louis, MO and we experienced flash flooding last year and because of 6 inches of rain over the course of 3 days, we got 9 feet of sitting water. I had to be rescued from my job by the fire department. People near my house had water even higher, they had to be rescued by boat because the water had gotten as high as the second story of their homes. FEMA was called in. It was wild. And the craziest part is that we never knew we sat near the bottom of a very large, very gradual hill that spanned over miles. I was in the center of the city and it flooded enough that our main streets looked like rivers.
It's calm in the middle of a hurricane not a tornado and yes a tornado forms from the ground up and connects mid air. Hurricanes are massive and last days and tornadoes usually last only a few minutes.
omg as a kid this is when I got a crush on Jake gyllenhaal 😂
actually tornados are formed from the ground and from the sky. and then they connect in the middle.
"I want you to be realistic with me!"
Zuff summed it up perfectly 💀
I don’t think they could have picked a better building in the vicinity seeing as how there’s multiple fireplaces and it’s a mega library with nearly endless burning material! That’s what I’d pick if I were that close and had a choice.
“Sponsah aahh” 😂😂😂 crackin up stoopp leave him alone 🥴😂😂
YESSSSSS.!!!! This is one of my favorite disaster movies EVER.!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Guys...The Impossible is not a disaster movie. It's a biopic. This movie isn't in the same genre. True disaster movies are over the top and exaggerated on purpose. They aren't supposed to be realistic. The Impossible is literally real.
Disaster movies are my favorite genre of rewatch movies!! The Impossible is not a disaster movie to me it’s a true story retelling. Disaster movies to me are conspiracy based and just good fun! Dante’s Peak was my first disaster movie from my childhood and I still love it!
Also tornados do sometimes seem to form at the bottom before it meets in the sky because it’s the wind circulation and most of what you see during a tornado is the debris in the circulation. And I think he’s thinking about the center of a hurricane being calm not a tornado 😂
That guys voice on the bus actually is real, he plays Louis litt on suits and that IS his voice lol
This is probably my favorite reaction from you guys, so far. The observations y’all were making were great and plus all the funny little side comments too lol
Omg its my *favorite* most realistic based on a true story disaster movie! 😂😉
I know this movie gives off Final Destination vibes, but my geology professor in college showed this every year in class because he said if climate change were to get to this point (which he said was possible) this is the most realistic movie showing what could happen in terms of natural disasters. So yeah, seems impossible but the experts say it’s actually very much possible.
God finally someone's doing this one, thanks guys!
This movie freaked me tf out when it came out because I was like “oh is this a hammed up version of what could actually happen?” and that absolutely terrified me haha
I remember watching this movie in high school because my science teacher tried to tie into the curriculum. Spent three days of classes watching this since it's such a long film. You guys are great! Keep up the awesome reactions. I recommend 27 Dresses, The Wedding Planner and Aquamarine for future reaction videos! ♥
This is my favorite disaster movie. I used to watch it all the time as a kid
whenever i see a lot of brids flying im always on alert because ive seen movies like this, my friends and family always think im papanoid and im like i rather be paranoid and aware than be caught unaware of a natural disaster like the first few moments can be vital to ones survival.
Yes! Wish more people would react to this Gem...Love me a Disaster Movie just as I Love Creature Features, just pure entertainment.
this is one of my favorite rewatches. I've seen this probably 30 times, maybe more lol it's just a nice, easy dopamine watch
this reaction was absolutely hilarious. i was cracking up so much i had to rewind just to hear what i missed from laughing so much! love you guys ❤
I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks actors sound goofy saying scientific term in movies. 😂
My love for disaster films started in 1970 with the movie *Airport.*
They have plot armour. Perfectly said.
I saw this in the theater with my parents and we loved it!
Its a pretty impressive disaster movie, and even though its scientifically inaccurate, you makes you wonder is something like this would happen a year or 100 years from now.
I would love to see you guys react to Everest (2015) and 127 Hours (2010), both are incredible movies based on a true story, I think you would enjoy them!
Yes! Been a while since I saw 127 hours, but Everest remains one of my faves.
oh zuff, tornados DO form from the ground, at least half of it does; it meets in the middle with the rotating winds coming downward from the sky. TIME TO WATCH TWISTER! another seriously great disaster movie, holds up insanely well
Since you are too young the VP was a resemblance of Dick Cheney. The VP of Pres. G. Bush. The Meteorologists say this will never happen but the ice shelves are breaking, glaciers are melting and the last couple of years there has been tornados in LA. 🤔 There are two movies are worth watching: The finest hours with Chris Pine true story, and I don't remember the title, its about the tsunami in SE Asia, maybe some one will tell you! Again a true story.😥😥😥
41:10 “Factory reset Earth”… Yep, pretty much.
This is my all time favourite movie. I love Disaster movies in general
This film isn't supposed to be realistic, but even so, I couldn't stop cringing when y'all were saying things like "the center of a tornado is calm" (because, no) and "that [level of flooding] can't happen" (not that fast, but yes). Ouch.
The center of a hurricane, yes. The center of a tornado, not so much.
15:04 that’s Rick Hoffman. It’s his real voice. He’s Louis Litt on the TV show Suits.
People are doomed. If not by wars, then by natural disasters. Someday. Any day. We will never know when our time comes. It’s scary to think about. And it could be anything. Literally anything could kill us. The most unexpected things could mean our end.
Life is crazy.
Government officials igorning sound and proven science about the climate?? Ground breaking. Truly a "movie-only" trope 😒😂😂 fr though, love this reaction 🤙
Love this movie sooo much. Can't count how many times I've watched it since 2004. 😍
The only time in history that "thank god I'm in space" is an acceptable phrase
38:06 Growing up, most of January high temps were below 0F/-18C. When it got up to 0F, it did feel warm.
I had this movie on vhs as a kid. The danger scenes were so stressful especially bc I had a huge crush on jake Gyllenhaal's character.
‚I can‘t wait for the Tsunamis, those are the scariest.‘ My worst fear are Tsunamis since I saw 2012, water can be so dangerous!
Omg you guys chemistry is so good. “SPONSOR US” lmaoooo. I’ve been bingeing you the past few days and loving every moment. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
Don't try to compare this to The Impossible, which was a true story and more of a drama that happened to be about a realistic natural disaster. This one, and other disaster movies are more about the massive extents of natural disasters, and are usually pretty cheesy and over the top (way too many close calls). Still enjoyable of course - just not the same genre at all. The Day after Tomorrow is one of my go-to guilty pleasure movies to just put on when I dunno what else to watch, haha.
The irony is that when you get cold, you get warmer and warmer. Like, I remember going home during a really bad winter, and by the time I got to the door, I couldn't feel my legs or hand, I had to wait about 15-20mins just to get out the keys and open the door. And every step I made at home, it was like my feet were in boiling water.
And then I turned the water on, at first it was supposed to be very cold, and it probably was, but it felt extremely hot to my hands.
In the book that written after this movie, it was stating the same, when people were freezing to death they felt warmer and warmer, and then hotter to the point it hurt like it burnt.
I´m so glad you guys did this reaction, this is one of my favorite chilhood movies and almost no one knows about it among the bunch of reaction channels out there :D
For disaster movies I like, the first 2 definitely classics
1. The towering inferno
2. The posiedon adventure
3. Twister
4. Dantes peak
The 1st 2 are from the 70s or early 80s
Another called airport 77 or something like that. Also from the 70s
Have more but those will do
