Them 1954; the fall out from nuclear bomb testing in the desert SW create giant killer ants. What can I say, I like classic sci-fi. Also it isn't one of those super preachy environmental movies, which I really hate.

"The day after tomorrow", I think it will truly happen if we still do nothing to control the global warming.

Certainly not Day After Tomorrow. That movie was unintentionally hilarious.

I guess I don't have a favorite, never put much thought into it.

Hollywood certainly is a fair and unbiased source of information, and their standards of scientific truth are impeccable.


Aliens versus Predator was based on a true story!

"The Day After Tomorrow". Though a strong storm system in New York City is possible, it is impossible to freeze all the precipitation in the next few hours after impact.

How do you explain the mammoth frozen with food in its mouth? Did they make that up?
