Storyline for 2012 was crappy. Special effects were amazing!!!

[doid3r4s]

For me The day after tomorrow is the ultimate disaster movie not 2012

2012 wins. People see disaster movies for the special effects, not the plot. That is why 2012 is the best disaster movie. I'm not saying it's best movie overall.

they make it seem like Earthquake is better than The Towering Inferno.... it isnt

Deep impact+armageddon+day after tommorow+knowing= best disaster movie ever!

[KMxJainaLeighxKM]

@montotosk no plot, but kickass effects

[KMxJainaLeighxKM]

i found the mindfuckiness of Knowing and the effects of 2012, but i'm a ravenclaw at heart, so i sunk more into Day after Tomorrow

my dad's favorite was Independence, but for my generation's effects, it was rather blasse(though probably the only one with much of a plot)

@Archeops531 no best one is armageddon. it wipe the floor with deep impact
