Jeremy is an omnivore when it comes to his movie-watching diet. He'll gladly watch and write about almost anything, from old Godzilla films to gangster flicks to samurai movies to classic musicals to the French New Wave to the MCU... well, maybe not the Disney+ shows.
Though the genre has fluctuated in popularity to some extent over the years , the disaster movie has continually been at least somewhat popular over the decades. Broadly speaking, disaster movies deal with natural disasters – or sometimes disasters caused by humanity – and, as such, tend to revolve around survival, how people deal with the event itself, or how they navigate difficult waters in the aftermath of a disaster.
San Francisco only really dedicates the final quarter of its runtime to the disaster, but given the opening of the film tells the audience where the narrative’s going to go , tension does come from the build-up. The romance and surprising musical elements of the first two acts aren’t quite as impactful, but many of the special effects used to depict the earthquake during the climax still look surprisingly good to this day.
This leads humanity on a desperate mission to get a select few to land on the planet in question, given life on Earth will be wiped out as a result of coming into such close contact with this star. It’s like a sci-fi take on the biblical story of Noah’s Ark, and it honestly works pretty well, when judged for its time. The special effects might be dated, sure, but they’re still charming, and the central premise of When Worlds Collide remains intriguing in any event.
People claim Nostradamus predicted some key events that happened long after he died, but such predictions have gone through different translations and themselves can be charitably described as vague, meaning it’s not worth getting caught up on what he purportedly has or hasn’t predicted.
Unstoppable is largely about preventing a disaster rather than depicting a disaster – and its aftermath – in explicit detail, but it nevertheless remains exciting and suspenseful throughout. Tony Scott was always skilled at making thrillers and action-heavy movies, and Unstoppable might well rank as one of the very best films he ever directed.
