I have no problem with disaster movies, but it has been a long time since there has been a good one. The closest thing is Eli Roth's After Shock, which reimagined the genre as a gore movie but by all accounts isn't particularly good. The problem is that people aren't making good ones. A good one is about people surviving, but... well, let's put it this way, as bad as San Andreas looks, its marketing lets us know there are people in the movie, while Into the Storm had such befuddling marketing in that it showed some not particularly scenes of a storm happening and that's about it. It's a shame, because I feel there's no such thing as a broken genre, just one that hasn't been given the proper love in a good long time. I think someone should just make one that breaks the incredibly moldy mold.
