That was really a sad scene to watch. The only thing i would have done differently in that scene though, is that the people had literally frozen in place while still standing upright, like frozen statues, like they had frozen mid-step. This would have been a throwback to the scene in the museum, where the science nerd guy had commented about the woolly mammoth that had been found, seemingly frozen solid with its food still in its mouth. It would have made a very eerie scene, the dad running into them, thinking he had run into some survivors, but they really weren't.
It could be that all those people died of hypothermia before the sub zero snow storm froze them solid. Like the cop in the earlier scene tried to wake up a couple of people but they wouldn't
It is really sad... the first time you watch it; but then you start to question how the chances are that he takes the proper route to come across their route and realize it is really contrived;
Funny enough, the last two times I have seen this movie, I laugh when ice cracks, thinking of that very character. Then I get annoyed, because this is my favourite disaster guilty pleasure movie.
Dante's Peak is one of my favourite disaster movies! With Pierce Brosnan! I watched it on a school trip when i was 12 years old... and i still love it!
I'm pretty sure birds can feel the air pressure dropping before a storm is coming. I don't know how it is with other animals but my dog gets pretty scared of thunderstorms. A few days after i first got him, i took him for a walk. It was a pretty hot and humid day. Suddenly he put his nose up and smelled the air, then instantly stopped walking and wanted me to turn around. I did eventually and low and behold, not even half an hour after i returned home, it started raining and thundering, eventually turning into a summer storm. He's done it a few times now and i can pretty much always rely on him to know when a storm is coming even if i don't see any lighting or thunderclouds yet. It's fascinating really.
Love this! Dogs (all animals, really) are amazing creatures that are *so* much more intelligent, emotional and intuitive than many people realize. In that same vein, many years ago a friend of mine started dating a new guy that was very polite, affable and seemingly trustworthy. Everyone liked him...except my dog. Brownie (my dog) was friendly with everyone and just loved people, but whenever my friend came around with her new boyfriend, he became very tense and restless. He even growled at the guy a couple of times, something he NEVER did to anyone. Turns out, this guy was a POS and was verbally and physically abusive to my friend. No one could believe it because he fooled us all...except for Brownie. That dog had dude's number from day one.
That scene where the dad is in the eye and he's getting his buddy into the top of the restaurant to avoid the cold, he looks up and the flag that was slack furls out and freezes instantly ... that's the most iconic image in the entire movie. Just so well done.
One of my all time favorite disaster movies. When I was younger, I wouldn't even pay attention to the story. I just wanted to re-watch the tornadoes, the flooding and the freezing again and again.

One thing I must share. I watched this movie about month after release. When Dennis Quaid met the scottish doctor in New Delhi, it was snowing there and I thought "thats in India, that will not happen". Next day I saw a weather forecast and IT WAS SNOWING IN NEW DELHI. It got me one of the worst situational spine-chills in my life.

Yes and then 9/11 happened and for a while, after that Hollywood didn't make any disaster movies (especially none with skyscrapers or planes...) and when they started up again they were those overly patriotic military movies with aliens. It's getting better now. The new Twisters seems to be good.

It was the golden decade for disaster movies, horror movies and spoof movies. Then late 2000s-early 2010s was the zombie golden age and from 2010s onward is the superhero decade which overtook pretry much every other genre in term of popularity and box office.

Pretty interesting disaster movie, and I like it. There are no pointless villains. Every character is at least decent, and many of them are even heroic. Take the main group of students, for example. They're all academic decathlon participants with no issues with the law, alcohol, or else. And it still works somehow. The movie's global disaster itself is fantasy-ish, of course, but it doesn’t feel too nonsensical, which is good. And the ending is intense if you think about it. The entire northern hemisphere is gone, along with all the global superpowers. The world would never be even remotely the same. Bold!

That scene where the tv guy is sent flying with the sign has been with me this entire 20 years. Idk why but it stucks with me. I remember even seeing it for the first time in the trailer at the time. It's like a trauma 😭
This is one of my favorite disaster movies! Thank you both for watching it with us! And the science actually is a thing. Emerich just put what would take decades, slowly, on uber fast forward for the movie. Looking forward to your disaster movie reactions, have to admit i am hunkered down and waiting specifically for your 2012 reaction! Day after Tomorrow was grounded in science, 2012 is utter lunacy that has jumped the tracks, and i LOVE it.
Man I forget how much I enjoyed this movie when I was young. I feel like these movies, just all around solid B movies, are what the industry is missing today. Looks good in a theater, couple big stars, couple young stars, and super rewatchable…that’s what we need!
all these people recommending disaster movies, and i can't believe no one has mentioned: Knowing (2009) awesome, somber, visually stunning, just underrated AF
@NoriMori1992 I don't think it's Oscar worthy by any means, but as a disaster movie, I thought it was a unique twist on the genre with some cool concepts.
2012 ! The King of disaster movies is a must see ! I really enjoy watching you. Please keep it up. I'm always happy when there's something new from you. I really appreciate that you also watch older films. The 90s and 2000s were a special time and the films have their own charm. I'm always happy when I see that you like them too.
For a real-life example of a global weather catastrophe, research the year 536 CE. A series of volcanic eruptions brought world temperatures down an average of 4.5 degrees F worldwide, resulting in a "volcanic winter" which brought severe cold temperatures and darkness across Europe until around the year 660 CE and in Asia till 680 CE. It's considered to be the "worst year to be alive" in recorded human history, resulting in 25-50 million deaths across the Mediterranean alone. There were massive crop failures, famine, and collapse of civilizations, which lasted almost 135 years. So just a 5 degree temperature shift can have catastrophic results.
The Day after Tomorrow is kind of what Deep Impact is for Asteroid films but for catastrophic Earth event. If you liked the chorale developpement of characters and deeper tone, I fairly recommend Deep Impact then!
Around 45:27 the guy holding on to A Bible because he thinks it was the first book ever printed. The Latin Language, Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1455. However, the Diamond Sutra, A Buddhist book from China was printed in around 868AD. Gutenberg actually used replaceable metal instead of wood panels so it was more similar to modern Printing Presses than the earlier Chinese method of Wood Panels, which is more similar to the screen printing you may have done in school using carved linoleum
@@nicksanfilippo9513 It was fun, but not as fun as his other disaster movies because of his blatant suspension of physics. If he had kept it a little more (pardon the pun) grounded, then I would have found it much better. Just my opinion, and my preferences. Avatar suspended physics with its floating islands, but it was another planet, not earth, which made it better.
Good math teachers don't test to see if you can get the right answer. They test to see if you know HOW to get the answer. That's why they often say, "Show your work." If you get it wrong, they can see where you went wrong and re-teach. What he said the teacher said -- "If I can't do it, you can't do it." -- is not something a real teacher would say.
Damn, this movie made me remember hailstorm back in 90' where it was literally shitting as huge balls as in this movie. Cars with bend places where these balls felt, glass broken, some windows too, my mum even got hit by smaller one in the shoulder (as we were going to my grandparents) and she was crazy scared. Everyone was scared. So much destruction! Never it my life I would think something this big can fall from the sky. Uncle throw one in the sink and it was melting for hour
This movie is so good. The science was a bit massaged for dramatic effect, but the scale of the destruction was impressive. This is theoretically possible, but on a much longer time scale. That whole "we thought we had another 100 years" thing. It would probably be longer than that even, but it made for good storytelling.
Ooh! A phenomenal newer disaster film I watched recently is called “Greenland.” If you guys are continuing the disaster binge, definitely recommend checking out!
My boarding school in Oklahoma took the ENTIRE campus to go see this movie at our local theater and it was on a night thay we had a thunderstorm. We were in Oklahoma so the Tornado in L.A scene had all of us in awe. The sound design on this film was (chefs kiss) I also vividly remember the teaser trailer for this with clips of actual storms and news reporters and being like "OOOH, ANOTHER DISASTER FILM!? YES PLEASE!". At the end, it show a snow covered NYC and the voice-over saying "Save as many as you can" There was also a few times they put fake billboards in the ocean to look like they washed up on shore as a promotion for the film.
Everyone who sees this movie seems to comment about the "shoe being on the other foot" with the border crossing. What most don't realize is Mexico has always had a tough immigration policy. It's just that it doesn't often happen US to Mexico. It's mostly the other way around. People fussed about "the wall" but Mexico already has a wall separating them from rest of Central and South America. Great reaction!
DANTE’s PEAK!!!! It’s a classic volcano movie. Had the guy from original James bind and the lady that played the original Sarah Connor from the terminator series
The real scary thing is that the North Atlantic conveyor belt 4:40 IS actually slowing down. If it stops, it won't cause the weather problems in this movie but humanity will be screwed.
Earth has been changing for millions of years, Mother Earth doesn’t owe us anything especially to continue living here. Species have come and go we modern humans are only here because our brains have evolved to great intelligence (for some) but mainly we are great at surviving
When Ari mentioned Jason feeling discombobulated from passing out and then waking up elsewhere, it brought a vivid memory to mind...I will preface this story by stating that I have had epilepsy for most of my life... Years ago, my friend and I were driving back from a pizza place in a neighboring city. I was driving my two-seater truck, my friend holding our pizza box in his lap in the passenger seat. I started feeling a bit light-headed as we were singing bohemian rhapsody at the tops of our lungs, heading down the highway. Next thing I know, I'm feeling groggy in the PASSENGER SEAT of my truck holding the pizza, and my friend was now driving. He soon informed me I had had a seizure while driving. My foot had slammed on the gas, and my arms & hands locked on the wheel. He had to fight my convulsing body off and save us both from crashing into a median or other vehicle! Talk about wake-up calls!😅
HOLY CRAP, that is an insane story!! First of all, we're glad you got out of that safely and that your friend was able to step in - wow! We can't imagine how terrifying that must have been!
@OfficialMediaKnights well hey, thanks for always having such great content! I really enjoy watching these movies with you guys each week! And if you guys like mind-bending thrillers that got unfairly panned by the "critics", might I suggest 'Sphere' (1998) based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name? It stars Dustin Hoffman, a young Samuel L Jackson, Sharon Stone, and a very young Leiv Schrieber. Even an cameo role by Queen Latifah! It's a great mind-bender about a potentially extraterrestrial encounter on the ocean floor, in a ship that has been under the sea for nearly 300 years! I think it's right up Y'all's alley! Much love!✌🏼🤘🏼❤️
A few people have already said it!! But man would it awesome for you guys to react to the movie ( 2012! )😅 an absolute disaster fest its such a wild ride with an awesome story!! You guys would love it!
Iceland really is stunning. Also the people are very hospitable. In my experience anyways. Spent a week in Reykjavik a couple of decades ago. I had a local friend, who gave his bed to sleep in. I told him, that I'd be happy to sleep on the couch. But he insisted. We also got invited to a housewarming party. Even my friend didn't know the hosts. First thing the hosts did after we entered their home was pointing where the punch is. And the bowl got constantly refilled.
Funny thing about the movie "Twister" for nearly 30 minutes in the middle of the movie, they have no other dialogue than "get down' "Look out' "Oh shit' , just expletives for a third of the movie.
I'm from the Philippines where we expect 19-22 storms per year, at least 1 or 2 can be devastating. I have personally experienced 3 extreme storms so far. The last time was December 2021. My entire family of six had to squeeze inside a 2x2 size toilet since the rest of the house was torn apart by strong winds. Had the strong winds continued for another 30 minutes we would have been covered with debris. It was terrifying I did not even worry about my safety, the fear for the safety of my siblings and my mother was so overwhelming.
What makes this movie even more eerie is the year it came out. Kinda feels like it was a foreshadowing for the big Tsunami wave on 26th December 2004...Those Tsunami scenes gave me serious flashbacks to the pictures/videos from the real events that were shown on TV...And now, 20 years later we still haven't changed much which makes this movie still important up to this day. Nice reaction like allways guys🙂
Birds are wildly sensitive to ... everything lol. Cats too ! Just saw a video the other day of cats suddenly alert about 20 seconds before an earthquake hit . Was cool to see.
55:32 If it wasn't noticeable, the closest of the two bodies is that of the police officer who led the group of people that decided to leave the library. They all perished.
In a recentish interview Jake found out that he was costarring in this film with Dennis which implies they never had any scenes with each other in real life.
This is a nostalgia hit for me. I remember being a kid and watching the scene where he's talking to his dad on the payphone while the water was rising. That shit literally gave me nightmares.
I was working for Regal Cinemas when this came out. A few of us stayed after closing on Thursday night to 'screen' it before it opened. I was expecting more on how mankind would adapt afterwards. I'm glad the story didn't go too political and showed more of the science of things.
I'm not a very good flier, and when I saw this scene in the theater, my hands got SUPER clammy. Also, when the masks fell, I hear is Homer Simpson in my head, "AAAAHHH!!! We're all gonna die!!!" So, from Philadelphia to Manhattan is about a day on foot. But, with snow and a storm on top of that, you're looking at at least three, maybe four days walk. Ari: "I would move to a tropical place." Me: To Hawaii!! I love how this movie makes you feel: fear, discouraged, cold, and small in the face of Nature. I am very happy you guys watched this one. Next movies you should watch to keep in the Natural Disaster genre: Dante's Peak 2012 Into the Storm San Andreas Poseidon Adventure Poseidon Daylight Deep Impact Armageddon Greenland
I saw this film at the cinema in the summer when it came out, and because of all those "glacial" images on that huge screen, sound effects and air conditioning, I remember feeling almost cold
1972 The Poseidon Adventure and 1974 The Towering Inferno are Disaster classics , it started the whole Disaster movie genre.... hope you guys give it a chance 😉
Was watching this with my mom the other day and was like “who is he? Did he go on to do anything?” And she starts listing his IMDb and I was like WAIT THATS JAKE GYLLENHAL?? Hahaha deadass just did not recognize him he’s such a babbby in this.
5:33 Bro didn't realize he made an argument against Global Warming/Climate Change. This has been going on for generations and nothing has changed dramatically.
Check out the Perfect Storm. Its based on the 1991 storm that impacted the east coast. It's was insane. Bouys in the north Atlantic recorded waves of over 100ft.
It still amuses me that, in an old-fashioned library full of wooden chairs, wooden tables, wooden bookshelves, wooden doors and wooden wall panelling, their first resort is "Burn the books!"
As an LA native I remember watching this as a kid and thinking how crazy a tornado scenario would be here. Got to live it last year when a tornado touched down at work right here in Montebello. Crazy how real this movie has become in just a couple decades
There is "The Day After Tomorrow" film and "The Day After". First one is action apocalypse film. Second one is far more terrifying apocalypse movie. And only 20 years were between them
The frozen body the dad came across with the scarf on was the cop who left the library with all those people...

That scene where the tv guy is sent flying with the sign has been with me this entire 20 years. Idk why but it stucks with me. I remember even seeing it for the first time in the trailer at the time. It's like a trauma 😭
I’ve been thinking about some of the visuals in this film since we watched it, some of them are so haunting! Like the wave approaching New York.
And the Porsche guy
This is one of my favorite disaster movies! Thank you both for watching it with us!
And the science actually is a thing. Emerich just put what would take decades, slowly, on uber fast forward for the movie.
Looking forward to your disaster movie reactions, have to admit i am hunkered down and waiting specifically for your 2012 reaction!
Day after Tomorrow was grounded in science, 2012 is utter lunacy that has jumped the tracks, and i LOVE it.
Man I forget how much I enjoyed this movie when I was young. I feel like these movies, just all around solid B movies, are what the industry is missing today. Looks good in a theater, couple big stars, couple young stars, and super rewatchable…that’s what we need!
all these people recommending disaster movies, and i can't believe no one has mentioned: Knowing (2009)
awesome, somber, visually stunning, just underrated AF
Good call. Knowing is excellent, creepy, but excellent.
Knowing is a terrible movie though… I saw it in theaters when it came out, and left wishing I could get a refund…
Knowing is good
That & "Next" are very underrated Cage films
Disaster plus invasion. Great movie
@NoriMori1992 I don't think it's Oscar worthy by any means, but as a disaster movie, I thought it was a unique twist on the genre with some cool concepts.
2012 ! The King of disaster movies is a must see ! I really enjoy watching you. Please keep it up. I'm always happy when there's something new from you.
I really appreciate that you also watch older films. The 90s and 2000s were a special time and the films have their own charm. I'm always happy when I see that you like them too.
2012 is a 'SO bad it's good' type film, I'd love to see these guys react to that one. 🤣👍 Great special FX though.
I really love that the dog survive!!
Fun fact tornadoes have hit La before. The tornado tearing apart the Hollywood sign actually happened in 1991
I love how you said you got the chills, after the storms and cold weather :)
You want a great disaster film? DEEP IMPACT. And see how it compares to Armageddon.
Deep Impact is great! One of my favorite movies.
34:45 that is the clearest flood water i've ever seen
Died at the "um...we're not redeeming this guy" 😂
For a real-life example of a global weather catastrophe, research the year 536 CE. A series of volcanic eruptions brought world temperatures down an average of 4.5 degrees F worldwide, resulting in a "volcanic winter" which brought severe cold temperatures and darkness across Europe until around the year 660 CE and in Asia till 680 CE. It's considered to be the "worst year to be alive" in recorded human history, resulting in 25-50 million deaths across the Mediterranean alone. There were massive crop failures, famine, and collapse of civilizations, which lasted almost 135 years. So just a 5 degree temperature shift can have catastrophic results.
remember the population then wasn't that much compared to now. if this happened now, billions would be the death tole
The Day after Tomorrow is kind of what Deep Impact is for Asteroid films but for catastrophic Earth event. If you liked the chorale developpement of characters and deeper tone, I fairly recommend Deep Impact then!
Agree 100&!! Deep Impact is an incredible and very emotional disaster movie.
It is one of the best dramas for sure. A favorite of mine.
This movie is 10x better than Deep Impact and I like Deep Impact.
Around 45:27 the guy holding on to A Bible because he thinks it was the first book ever printed. The Latin Language, Gutenberg Bible was printed in 1455. However, the Diamond Sutra, A Buddhist book from China was printed in around 868AD. Gutenberg actually used replaceable metal instead of wood panels so it was more similar to modern Printing Presses than the earlier Chinese method of Wood Panels, which is more similar to the screen printing you may have done in school using carved linoleum
This one is such a fun watch. Jake Gyllenhal was great in this.
Man, I remember as a kid, I used to get him mixed up with Tobey Maguire. Apparently I wasn't the only one, which surprised me a lot.
Really enjoyed what he did in this!
@Chaticiannunez2419 I remember hearing back in the day he was being eyed to sub for Tobey in Spider-Man!
@@OfficialMediaKnights Nah, I don't know if he could've danced as good as Tobey.
@@chaoticiannunez2419true😂
The Core is probably my favorite disaster movie ever. It's so good!
Roland Emmerich is the director « disliking the Earth » whether it’s in "Independence Day", in "2012", in "Godzilla" or in "The Day after Tomorrow" 😅
That's why i call him "the master of disaster", but with a very thick german accent (Roland Emmerich is german, after all).
He didn't dislike Earth in Stargate.
@@w1975b Or The Patriot.
But he was back on track with Moonfall (probably his most ridiculous movie).
@@TheBaggyT ridiculous yes, but fun if your looking to turn your brain off for a little
@@nicksanfilippo9513 It was fun, but not as fun as his other disaster movies because of his blatant suspension of physics. If he had kept it a little more (pardon the pun) grounded, then I would have found it much better. Just my opinion, and my preferences. Avatar suspended physics with its floating islands, but it was another planet, not earth, which made it better.
Good math teachers don't test to see if you can get the right answer. They test to see if you know HOW to get the answer. That's why they often say, "Show your work." If you get it wrong, they can see where you went wrong and re-teach. What he said the teacher said -- "If I can't do it, you can't do it." -- is not something a real teacher would say.
I’m not sure if you’ve seen it but it’s not a major disaster movie but Dante‘s peak is amazing. Also.
Omg, amazing that u watched it, really recommend you guys to watch “2012” and “Geostorm”
Love what you doing, watch every video)
They show this on the television so many times, but I'll watch it every time because it's such a good movie.
I just watched it tonight on TNT, then saw this reaction when I opened RUclips.
Damn, this movie made me remember hailstorm back in 90' where it was literally shitting as huge balls as in this movie.
Cars with bend places where these balls felt, glass broken, some windows too, my mum even got hit by smaller one in the shoulder (as we were going to my grandparents) and she was crazy scared. Everyone was scared.
So much destruction!
Never it my life I would think something this big can fall from the sky.
Uncle throw one in the sink and it was melting for hour
Nothing puts a smile on my face more than waking up to a Media knights upload. You guys are amazing and make my day!
This movie is so good. The science was a bit massaged for dramatic effect, but the scale of the destruction was impressive. This is theoretically possible, but on a much longer time scale. That whole "we thought we had another 100 years" thing. It would probably be longer than that even, but it made for good storytelling.
Ooh! A phenomenal newer disaster film I watched recently is called “Greenland.” If you guys are continuing the disaster binge, definitely recommend checking out!
Ohhh yes, we're adding that to our list, thanks for the recommendation!
Greenland is fantastic
The part of the animals sensing a storm was coming, it's called instincts they can smell and feel danger is gonna happen
You two always post whenever I'm off job. Thanks for being in my daily routine.
I'm watching on my lunch break hehe
Haha aww you guys 😭 Y'all are so kind, hope you enjoy your lunch break/off time! Thank you for the support and kindness, it truly brightens our day!
My boarding school in Oklahoma took the ENTIRE campus to go see this movie at our local theater and it was on a night thay we had a thunderstorm. We were in Oklahoma so the Tornado in L.A scene had all of us in awe. The sound design on this film was (chefs kiss)
I also vividly remember the teaser trailer for this with clips of actual storms and news reporters and being like "OOOH, ANOTHER DISASTER FILM!? YES PLEASE!". At the end, it show a snow covered NYC and the voice-over saying "Save as many as you can"
There was also a few times they put fake billboards in the ocean to look like they washed up on shore as a promotion for the film.
Deep Impact with Elijah Wood.
I was 5 when I first saw this, it’s the first film in my memory that made me cry.
This movie was so prophetic when you look at the polar vortex from 2018.
The bullseye passed right over me, wind chills of -80 degrees.
Everyone who sees this movie seems to comment about the "shoe being on the other foot" with the border crossing. What most don't realize is Mexico has always had a tough immigration policy. It's just that it doesn't often happen US to Mexico. It's mostly the other way around. People fussed about "the wall" but Mexico already has a wall separating them from rest of Central and South America. Great reaction!
They're already getting fed up with Americans in Mexico City...the irony.
The fact is other countries have stricter immigration laws than the US does but only the US is wrong for enforcing them 🤣
DANTE’s PEAK!!!! It’s a classic volcano movie. Had the guy from original James bind and the lady that played the original Sarah Connor from the terminator series
The real scary thing is that the North Atlantic conveyor belt 4:40 IS actually slowing down. If it stops, it won't cause the weather problems in this movie but humanity will be screwed.
Earth has been changing for millions of years, Mother Earth doesn’t owe us anything especially to continue living here. Species have come and go we modern humans are only here because our brains have evolved to great intelligence (for some) but mainly we are great at surviving
I’d argue we’re screwed due to more than just that.
Bro we survived the Great Flood, we good
@@Cotac_Rastic bro taking a metaphor about rebirth and redemption and taking it as historical fact
@@SamSphinx What? The great flood is fact 😂
When Ari mentioned Jason feeling discombobulated from passing out and then waking up elsewhere, it brought a vivid memory to mind...I will preface this story by stating that I have had epilepsy for most of my life...
Years ago, my friend and I were driving back from a pizza place in a neighboring city. I was driving my two-seater truck, my friend holding our pizza box in his lap in the passenger seat. I started feeling a bit light-headed as we were singing bohemian rhapsody at the tops of our lungs, heading down the highway.
Next thing I know, I'm feeling groggy in the PASSENGER SEAT of my truck holding the pizza, and my friend was now driving. He soon informed me I had had a seizure while driving. My foot had slammed on the gas, and my arms & hands locked on the wheel. He had to fight my convulsing body off and save us both from crashing into a median or other vehicle!
Talk about wake-up calls!😅
HOLY CRAP, that is an insane story!! First of all, we're glad you got out of that safely and that your friend was able to step in - wow! We can't imagine how terrifying that must have been!
@OfficialMediaKnights well hey, thanks for always having such great content! I really enjoy watching these movies with you guys each week! And if you guys like mind-bending thrillers that got unfairly panned by the "critics", might I suggest 'Sphere' (1998) based on the Michael Crichton novel of the same name?
It stars Dustin Hoffman, a young Samuel L Jackson, Sharon Stone, and a very young Leiv Schrieber. Even an cameo role by Queen Latifah! It's a great mind-bender about a potentially extraterrestrial encounter on the ocean floor, in a ship that has been under the sea for nearly 300 years!
I think it's right up Y'all's alley! Much love!✌🏼🤘🏼❤️
Magnesium, keto and carnivore diets all seem to be beneficial for epilepsy. Just info if you didn't know.
A few people have already said it!! But man would it awesome for you guys to react to the movie ( 2012! )😅 an absolute disaster fest its such a wild ride with an awesome story!! You guys would love it!
Iceland really is stunning. Also the people are very hospitable. In my experience anyways. Spent a week in Reykjavik a couple of decades ago. I had a local friend, who gave his bed to sleep in. I told him, that I'd be happy to sleep on the couch. But he insisted. We also got invited to a housewarming party. Even my friend didn't know the hosts. First thing the hosts did after we entered their home was pointing where the punch is. And the bowl got constantly refilled.
Funny thing about the movie "Twister" for nearly 30 minutes in the middle of the movie, they have no other dialogue than "get down' "Look out' "Oh shit' , just expletives for a third of the movie.
😂😂 never realized this
I'm from the Philippines where we expect 19-22 storms per year, at least 1 or 2 can be devastating. I have personally experienced 3 extreme storms so far. The last time was December 2021. My entire family of six had to squeeze inside a 2x2 size toilet since the rest of the house was torn apart by strong winds. Had the strong winds continued for another 30 minutes we would have been covered with debris. It was terrifying I did not even worry about my safety, the fear for the safety of my siblings and my mother was so overwhelming.
Uy Pilipino, eyy ka muna eyy 🤙
This, Twister, and Dante's Peak are the *peak* of the disaster genre. Nothing else has ever come close. Twisters comes in at #4.
Thanks for the shout out, really glad you enjoyed the movie :D
Glad to have you here! Thank you for the support ❤️
What makes this movie even more eerie is the year it came out. Kinda feels like it was a foreshadowing for the big Tsunami wave on 26th December 2004...Those Tsunami scenes gave me serious flashbacks to the pictures/videos from the real events that were shown on TV...And now, 20 years later we still haven't changed much which makes this movie still important up to this day.
Nice reaction like allways guys🙂
“It’s been twenty years and not much has changed” that’s commentary on global warming itself right there lol.
Global warming is just a con to implement more control over society
@@manoz6194 to deep man get some "fresh" air
@@EpicRo99 I wonder why my comment got erased....
@@manoz6194say it again
No, we need to destroy the entire global economy because some cities are .000000000000001 degree hotter.. sometimes
My fav movie. I've watched it countless times. The music is so good that it makes me cry from the beginning of the movie.
Roland Emmerich is really the "Master of Disaster " 😅😅
Godzilla , Independence Day , The Day After Tomorrow , 2012
This movie's like a childhood memory for me.
I watch it every one or two years, just like Twister.
Birds are wildly sensitive to ... everything lol. Cats too ! Just saw a video the other day of cats suddenly alert about 20 seconds before an earthquake hit . Was cool to see.
55:32 If it wasn't noticeable, the closest of the two bodies is that of the police officer who led the group of people that decided to leave the library. They all perished.
Also one of my all time fave movies, with Dennis Quaid AND Jake Gyllenhaal. Really can't go wrong with such a combo :D
They both are fantastic actors!
In a recentish interview Jake found out that he was costarring in this film with Dennis which implies they never had any scenes with each other in real life.
This is a great film. It's sad and terrifying. This movie has everything. 🔥
This is a nostalgia hit for me. I remember being a kid and watching the scene where he's talking to his dad on the payphone while the water was rising. That shit literally gave me nightmares.
I was 13 in 2004
@@ryans413 I was 10 lol
I was working for Regal Cinemas when this came out. A few of us stayed after closing on Thursday night to 'screen' it before it opened. I was expecting more on how mankind would adapt afterwards. I'm glad the story didn't go too political and showed more of the science of things.
The last line and the last shot of the movie have stuck with me ever since I first saw it in the theater. Weirdly scary yet beautiful and poignant.
As a Canadian I fear the ice age we are the closest country to the ice age.
I'm not a very good flier, and when I saw this scene in the theater, my hands got SUPER clammy. Also, when the masks fell, I hear is Homer Simpson in my head, "AAAAHHH!!! We're all gonna die!!!"
So, from Philadelphia to Manhattan is about a day on foot. But, with snow and a storm on top of that, you're looking at at least three, maybe four days walk.
Ari: "I would move to a tropical place."
Me: To Hawaii!!
I love how this movie makes you feel: fear, discouraged, cold, and small in the face of Nature. I am very happy you guys watched this one.
Next movies you should watch to keep in the Natural Disaster genre:
Dante's Peak
2012
Into the Storm
San Andreas
Poseidon Adventure
Poseidon
Daylight
Deep Impact
Armageddon
Greenland
First Twisters now this I'm in heaven you two are amazing!
Aw thank youuu, your support means the world to us! ❤️
If you liked this one, the movie "2012" should definitely be on your list.
I saw this film at the cinema in the summer when it came out, and because of all those "glacial" images on that huge screen, sound effects and air conditioning, I remember feeling almost cold
I'll be honest, this one and Twister are my fav disaster movies ever. Is it accurate? Absolutely not. But it's so much fun!
Exactly! Both of them are just so damn entertaining. Sometimes we just need a good time!
Another great disaster movie I would recommend : Dante's Peak
I'm not afraid of flying!
I'm afraid of crashing.
All that wood furniture will burn. And burn longer than paper.
Amen to that!
Fr, I was wondering why they were so focused on burning the books when there were all those wooden bookshelves
Not if the furniture is painted with clear paint, those fumes could kill you.......
The part where you see all the survivors coming out onto the roofs of the skyscrapers always makes me emotional ❤
1972 The Poseidon Adventure and 1974 The Towering Inferno are Disaster classics , it started the whole Disaster movie genre.... hope you guys give it a chance 😉
Actually, Airport (1970) is the first disaster movie that started the 70s trend that every decade or so comes back with a new batch of disaster films.
South Park had a hilarious episode Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow that, unsurprisingly, heavily referenced this movie.
I broke the dam
Not only this movie is 20 years old, but how young is JAKE GYLLENHAL!?!?!?
Was watching this with my mom the other day and was like “who is he? Did he go on to do anything?” And she starts listing his IMDb and I was like WAIT THATS JAKE GYLLENHAL?? Hahaha deadass just did not recognize him he’s such a babbby in this.
Well, in this movie we're seeing the alternative version of Donnie Darko
First time i ever saw him
JAKE GYLLENHAAL
@@jandehaan7445 JAKE GYLLENHAAL
As I've seen others mention, you should watch Deep Impact. It's probably my favorite disaster movie, starring a young, pre-Frodo, Elijah Wood.
@1:58 Said in Peter Dinklage's voice from Avengers: Endgame, "That's what...Otherworldly...means."
🤣😂😂
Y’all are killing it with these 90’s movies! I’m 62 and these are some of my favs and I love seeing your reactions. THANK YOU!! ❤
5:33 Bro didn't realize he made an argument against Global Warming/Climate Change. This has been going on for generations and nothing has changed dramatically.
Check out the Perfect Storm. Its based on the 1991 storm that impacted the east coast. It's was insane. Bouys in the north Atlantic recorded waves of over 100ft.
YES now PLEASE do Greenland 2020 and Poseidon 2006, they're intense emotional disaster films
Poseidon yes
San Andreas , 2012 , Dante’s Peak.
It still amuses me that, in an old-fashioned library full of wooden chairs, wooden tables, wooden bookshelves, wooden doors and wooden wall panelling, their first resort is "Burn the books!"
Books burn quick I’d imagine they used furniture to burn but books burn fast and that’s what they needed.
The guy was right in burning tax code.
@@kurtuhlig2553absolutely right… 😂
They clearly knew their audience lol
My thought exactly!
As an LA native I remember watching this as a kid and thinking how crazy a tornado scenario would be here. Got to live it last year when a tornado touched down at work right here in Montebello. Crazy how real this movie has become in just a couple decades
Movie carries 50% of FX’s playlist (other 50% is Van Helsing(both movies rock))
There is "The Day After Tomorrow" film and "The Day After". First one is action apocalypse film. Second one is far more terrifying apocalypse movie. And only 20 years were between them
The Day After was a movie that truly terrified me. I’ve only seen it that one time when it aired on TV in the early 1980s.
You have to do the originals…Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno, Earthquake, Airport 75/77
The rainy New York scenes in this movie remind me so much of Godzilla and I'm here for it.
Shot on film too
Or as I like to call it: God-Zilla.
Fun fact about temperature scientists calculated the temperature change that helped the eliminate the dinosaurs was ONLY 6 degrees
