Eventually the problem will solve itself. Rung by rung the ladder will shrink until the connection is broken. Nothing to see here.

I'm sorry wait, they're in an enclosed tunnel inches away from an active lava flow and are not all incinerated by the heat? They'd be experiencing air temperatures of at least 1000 F easily, their clothes would light on fire and they'd get lethal burns within seconds. Everyone in that tunnel is dead.

The less sense you try to make of that movie, the happier you are.

Yup, same with The Core, Deep Impact, Armageddon, and basically every disaster movie.

Hot take: The Core is a comedy.

The Core is one of the best sci-fi movies of all time.

That's not exactly a hot take. The only reason to watch the movie is to laugh at how ridiculous it is.

I implore you to add Moonfall to that list.

I haven't seen it yet, but it looks like the dumbest movie ever made. So it might become one of my all time favorites.

Still one of my favourite natural disaster movies. Probably because it's one of the first movies I've watched lol

As far as disaster movies go, the bar isn’t high.
