Mark Wahlberg’s Explosive Disaster Blockbuster Finds New Life on Streaming

The disaster movie can come in many forms, although it is hard for most to strike the right chord with critics. Some of the best examples of the genre in recent memory include the all-out chaos of director Roland Emmerich's 2012; a young Jake Gyllenhaal's box office smash The Day After Tomorrow; the 1996 cult classic Twisterand its recent legacy sequel; the oddly poignant pre-COVID prediction of Contagion; Tom Holland's feature film debut in The Impossible, and much more.
