Roland Emmerich kept going for a while, he did 2012 and I think he did one about the moon hitting the earth recently
Is slop but it's good yummy slop
poster was cool. I never watched it.
also its fun to dramatically say ".... the perfect storm" whenever someone else lists 2+ things about a situation, which I presume is a line from the movie.
There is no guilty pleasure, only pleasure 
I’d say for a movie it’s the perfect storm
more like the mid storm
I haven't seen it but I'm sure the storm could have been more perfect; more symmetrical and just cleaner overall
The book it's based on is better, and doesn't rely nearly as much on "we bet this is what happened" like Open Water [2004], Wolf Creek [2005] and other movies where there's no way of knowing what happened in the "true story".
There is no guilty pleasure. There is only pleasure 
One of my mom's favorite movies, this and Contact were big in our house growing up.
Never heard of Contact. I love an outlandish “people vs giant wave” type movie though
I remember the wave scenes being awe inducing
Watch contact. It's veery good
