Who doesn’t love a great disaster movie? Or, let’s be honest, even a halfway decent one? There is something uniquely cathartic about the genre. Each film hits those favorite, familiar tropes: the "calm before the storm," that chilling moment the characters realize just how dire the situation is, and the almost superhuman strength they summon just to survive one more hour.
