Do people seriously expect 'depth' from these kinds of movies? I'm sure some disaster movies do have the emotional depth and character development that these reviewers crave, but what happened to the age of movies that are just fun to watch.
Yes the characters are a bit 1 dimension, yes there are cheesy lines, yes they are saved by massive plot armour multiple times throughout the movie. Does it matter? Not at all. The movie is absolutely mortifying... I experienced severe dread multiple times throughout it. The graphics hold up in our modern age, and the disasters look just as horrific as you would expect them to in real life.
If you're looking for a thrill and some fun, this is a great movie to watch; grab some friends and some snacks and you'll have a great time. If you are seeker deeper meaning and character depth.. maybe try a different genre...?
