Sixth place: "Heaven and Earth Crash" global box office: 340 million US dollars
Quite an interesting setting, did this film inspire "Walking on the Moon Alone"? But then it was a little too sensational, too much to exaggerate the sad atmosphere, the plot kept standing still, and suddenly announced that humanity was entering a new chapter, feeling 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. But the part that talks about the Ark Project is quite meaningful, it is a limit plan.
Fifth place: "Doomsday Collapse" global box office: $470 million
The plot is cliché, it is still the male protagonist whose marriage broke up to save his ex-wife and then his daughter before the catastrophe, and the family reunites to repair the rest of his life after the disaster. The dragon king feels that the special effects are a little poor, but basically satisfied, the 9.6 magnitude earthquake landslide ground cracked tsunami building collapse, there should be all, and the daughter in the film and the boy I just met were born into death is very sweet, I like it.
Fourth place: "Tornado" global box office: 490 million US dollars
A group of enthusiastic young people chasing the wind made me feel their awe and obsession with natural weather, and free exploration is never deterred. Suddenly cue the Shining, making the thrilling atmosphere even stronger, I thought 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!
Third place: "The Day After Tomorrow" global box office: 550 million US dollars
I feel that the plot is quite scattered, the rhythm is not very good, the sense of picture is okay, there is no problem with the actors' performances, domestic disaster films advocate individual sacrifice, foreign advocate personal heroism, and the effect shown in disaster films is not dropping. What impressed me the most about this movie was the disaster coming, people rushing into the library and seeing a big ship in the window, the kind of impossible, cruel and dreamy, but very realistic thing, really impactful. Next get ready to see this director's 2012 and Independence Day, hopefully stronger than this.
Second place: "Armageddon" global box office: $553 million
Very typical of the American blockbuster of the nineties, the super-responsible male protagonist took on a heavy responsibility before the disaster, relying on firm eyes and super large voice to pass through various explosions, communication failures, spacecraft failures, and larger explosions without injury, and finally sacrificed himself without hesitation in the test of human nature to save his son-in-law, no, save all mankind.
First place: "2012" global box office: 790 million US dollars
A very shocking disaster film, hovering on the edge of death throughout the escape of the two families, can be regarded as the top production of contemporary disaster films. Although there is American heroism, although there are obvious plot bugs, although there are slightly unreasonable emotional pulls, it does not prevent this from being an excellent disaster film, at least at the time, the combination of artistic imagination and visual effects has a strong sense of impact.
The 6 highest-grossing disaster films, the whole process makes people's blood tense, each of which is a visual feast!
