The Yellowstone Caldera Erupts | 2012

As the Yellowstone Caldera erupts, Jackson (John Cusack) and his daughter Lilly (Morgan Lily) race to get back to the airplane… | Buy or rent 2012 here: amzo.in/movie/og9/2012-2009
Dr. Adrian Helmsley, part of a worldwide geophysical team investigating the effect on the earth of radiation from unprecedented solar storms, learns that the earth's core is heating up. He warns U.S. President Thomas Wilson that the crust of the earth is becoming unstable and that without proper preparations for saving a fraction of the world's population, the entire race is doomed. Meanwhile, writer Jackson Curtis stumbles on the same information. While the world's leaders race to build "arks" to escape the impending cataclysm, Curtis struggles to find a way to save his family. Meanwhile, volcanic eruptions and earthquakes of unprecedented strength wreak havoc around the world.

This movie was a testimate to the travel power of one man and his family. Went across the world in two hours. lol

[@TOFMDrone]

to be fair, the tectonic plates did shift in this movie, so in the movies universe it's possible :p

[@scucci]

It's the curse of that plane... sure it can fly at super sonic speeds... but only when it's not flying

[@carolynallisee2463]

Credit where credit is due, the fact that the planet's crust was slipping means that the family's destination kind of came to them instead!

[@sub-fivessurvival]

This goes to show anything is possible if you set your mind to it.

[@SPQSpartacus]

It took my wife and daughters 15 minutes to leave the building on a Fire alarm. I was out walking the Dog, came back to the hotel to find the alarm ringing. After waiting for ten minutes I went in and got them out. A false alarm luckily. But I’d say one man can travel fast. Any women involved: Nope.

[@MRJK87.]

"That guy's crazy, right daddy?" "Yeah, but that doesn't mean hes wrong."

[@socialwill]

Just guessing that the sound level that explosion would have made would have killed anyone within 100+ miles instantly.

[@KeniclesTheEpic]

the light emitted from the explosion would probably blind everyone too

[@a6am3mn0n]

surprise, this movie doesn't accurately portray how a super eruption would look like.

[@tomatosofficial1124]

@@a6am3mn0n It wasn’t supposed to. They had a massive CGI budget and intended on using it. The movie was more a story about the family & facing life threatening situations but managing to persevere.

[@bagelq2028]

The shockwave from the explosion would’ve also killed them on top of that, I’m surprised that they’re so close to the blast but yet the shockwave is like a gentle breeze hitting them. All that pressure of Yellowstone being released all at once would be immense, similar to how Krakatoa erupted but 100x more. The overpressure of a blast this massive when it erupts would flatten and obliterate them and anyone and anything miles away from the eruption.

[@andybrown4284]

There's videos on youtube from the tonga eruption in 2022 of the blastwave travel around the globe and that would be tiny in comparison to yellowstone

[@charactercountdown]

With this much amount of plot armor I can defeat even batman

[@Theunderpriviledged2004]

Don't overguess

[@tommyhunter1817]

I love how they outrun, out drive, and out fly an erupting volcano and its shock wave. Impressive.

[@Ireniicus]

and impossible

[@kevanfoster]

I freaking LOVE Woody Harrelson in this role xD He absolutely nails it!

[@Soyuz2578]

He wasn't playing a role 😂

[@cesarinrin]

i like how a ball of fire hit the back of the camper while driving and he kept going like nothing had happened. In real life that would have sent them flying to jupiter.

[@Lukewright426]

The most unrealistic part about this scene is the fact that the plane is even remotely stable. The air turbulence from a massive volcano erupting like that would have made flying pretty much impossible.

[@Vxfiy]

You must be fun at parties

[@Vauxiinyourbag84]

Assuming they go to parties

[@robertnelson9599]

As if anything about this movie is realistic.

[@Grogxong]

Everything is unrealistic in this movie

[@Stuff_And_Things]

Yes but you forgot that the neutrinos had mutated which changes physics for air travel and causes buildings to fall in extremely slow motion as cars crash through them and avoid being crushed by the upper floors the whole distance.

[@chanmax2]

And Moonfall makes this movie feels like a documentary in comparison.

[@BMFstudiosNYC]

Moonfall was awful lol... could've been good with better writing though

[@glennhenson6495]

5 minutes of my life I'll never get back watching that.

[@jeff5534]

Lol the dangers this family survive are beyond ridiculous

[@manolios]

1) no explanation how did he got off the cliff, just a heroic hand appearing 2) no explanation how did he outrun a take-off plane 3) no explanation how did the exhaust pipes of the plane not clogged by the enormous dust 4) no explanation how the seconds add up, between the running fumes, the fire, the plane , the take off procedure, and the searching for the map inside the van. Bogus!

[@Dexx837]

I was also thinking how did he hang to the cliff from inside the van like that😂

[@BayouBoy2443]

Bruh didn’t even add the fact that in actuality, they would all just be dead as soon as the volcano popped

[@Prp_97]

Shut up 😂😂😂😂

[@anthonyobryan3485]

The entire premise of the movie was insanely stupid (I know people who bought into the Mayan calendar nonsense), but the movie itself was just regular ole Hollywood nonsense. It was entertaining, and it's best left at that.

[@raduysya5634]

While his ex watched him from the airplane window, did anyone else half expect John Cusack to climb up out of the fiery chasm holding a boombox above his head?

[@VegasTigger]

well I suppose in your eyes, you expect him to say anything.

[@trevorjensen2706]

The little kids added an unwanted level of annoyance for me. The multiple shots of seeing their faces in the confined plane window, the multiple cuts to the kids screaming, "Daddy," it was a sequence that, if cut 90%, would still deliver necessary tension.

[@FubbyBunneyFox]

7:19 Noah : THIS IS MY DAD WERE GONNA WAIT !! Gordon: 😒

Why is everyone saying this movie should be more realistic like that boring like imagine if it was realistic the story would change and everyone would die and it world be boring movie movie should be made with fun and enjoyment with little realistic but not that much

[@Caeluum]

Btw if we ever were to face some super volcanic eruption of that magnitude, the rocks and magma falling down would be the last of your concern as the sound wave would probably kill everyone in a very large radius :D

[@user-rz2gw8jb4v]

[@iamchrispaezjr]

Physics people in the comments lol, relax it’s a movie. They’re meant to be enjoyed and used as a time to escape the real world. If these movies were realistic, they would be 3 minutes long.

[@JJ-iu5hl]

But they are set in the real world, so they have to have some semblance of similarity to the real world. Otherwise, your brain doesn't connect. The majority of people get this, and that was why this movie was disliked by most.

[@Soyuz2578]

To save money they just shot film of Woody Harrelson going about his everyday business 😂

[@BobDeCaprio]

It's like if you put these people in this scenario and ran it a million times this was the one time they actually made it
