The 8 Worst Disaster Movies of All Time

5. “Geostorm” (2017)

Directed by Dean Devlin and starring Gerard Butler, “Geostorm” promised a thrilling ride through a world threatened by climate-altering technology. Unfortunately, the execution fell flat, and the film was plagued by clichés of the worst disaster movies and lackluster storytelling. The plot revolves around a network of satellites designed to control climate disasters but instead begins to attack Earth. Despite its $120 million budget, “Geostorm” struggled to resonate with audiences and critics alike.

Box Office: $221.6 million

Budget: $120 million

6. “Poseidon” (2006)

Wolfgang Petersen’s “Poseidon” set out to remake the classic disaster film “The Poseidon Adventure” (1972). Despite a solid cast and a promising premise of a luxury cruise ship capsizing, the film was hindered by uninspired characters and a lack of emotional depth. “Poseidon” struggled to stay afloat both financially and critically.

Box Office: $181.7 million

Budget: $160 million
