Movies about natural disasters to face the storm Filomena

Streaming platforms have been our escape route throughout the quarantine and, now that staying at home is again the most appropriate as a result of the storm Filomena, we present you a list of natural disaster films that will make you feel even more comfortable, if possible, in your own home. Bad weather is hitting the streets of our country and the effects have not taken long to be noticed. Staying home and enjoying the snow seems most enriching; But, if you think that this cold wave seems straight out of fiction, we recommend that you take advantage of the weekend to see some of these films about catastrophes and natural phenomena. A cinephile marathon in which meteorites, giant waves and climatic changes will make you breathe easy in the face of the bad weather that you see from your window. ‘2012 ‘(HBO) The Mayans warned us: the end of the world would end in 2012. Yes It is true that, luckily, this did not happen like that, the master of catastrophe cinema Roland Emmerich took us to an imaginary of planetary destruction with a show in style as far as special effects are concerned. A film that, despite not meeting the qualitative standards expected of the industry, will undoubtedly be two hours of pure audiovisual entertainment. Explosions, meteorites, tsunamis and other disasters that converge on the end of days as we knew them until now. ‘Tomorrow’ (Amazon Prime) Before the destruction of the Earth in 2012, Roland Emmerich also wanted to leave his footprint with one of the most recurrent topics of debate in contemporary society: climate change.The devastating effects of global warming were reflected in a fictitious magnification during this film, leaving the most striking action scenes, such as the head of the Statue of Liberty rolling through the streets of New York. If you thought Filomena was changing your city, we recommend that you rent this film, available on Amazon Prime: ‘The Impossible (Netflix) Juan Antonio Bayona signed his first blockbuster with an authority in the direction of which Spanish cinema can boast with pride . The special effects stand out during the tsunami sequence in Thailand, counting on the remarkable emotional charge of knowing that it is based on real events. A drama with an optimistic background that, when everything seemed “impossible”, will make us realize that life also has unique moments. ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ (Amazon Prime) Amazon Prime allows us to rent the first Poseidon story that, after a giant wave, drift upside down. The film has a remake, available on Netflix; However, it is much more successful to go to the 1972 film. Not only storms in big cities, like Filomena, can play a trick on us; the sea is much more dangerous and this movie is proof of that. ‘The Poseidon Adventure’ is considered by many to be a classic and this weekend is the perfect occasion to see it. ‘Beyond Life’ (HBO) Like ‘The Impossible’, ‘Beyond Life’ recounts the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia. However, this historical event is simply the starting point that Clint Eastwood takes to relate his own version of life after death.The actor has reached the peak of his artistic career from the figure of director and his works are always characterized by narrative formality, complemented by plot beauty. From HBO we can get excited once again about this film, full of human emotions in the face of the most severe complications.’Deep Impact ‘(Amazon Prime) Meteorites have always been a recurrent in the cinema of natural disasters and in the same year we witnessed the premiere of two very similar tapes: ‘Armaggedon’ and ‘Deep Impact’. However, between the two alternatives, we recommend that you opt for the second, since it leaves aside the spectacularity and tribute to the United States typical of Michael Bay, replacing these concepts with the dramatic burden of an imminent death. This is not the best movie ever, but it will undoubtedly make you forget Filomena’s cold for a few hours. ‘Signs of the Future’ (Amazon Prime) Alex Proyas is one of the directors with a career marked by irregularity: capable of give us masterpieces like ‘The Raven’ and authentic grotesques like ‘Gods of Egypt’. In this Nicolas Cage film, the filmmaker does not earn the compensation that many expected; however, the conclusion of ‘Signs of the Future’ is most interesting. A thriller loaded with mysteries to disconnect from reality and not question too seriously the qualitative level of the film.
