Unlike "annie_marks" in her 8 September 2017 review, I love these silly, predictable and (usually very low-budget) disaster movies...!
Anyone who has watched the big budget Pacific Rim, and then its cheap knock-off, Atlantic Rim (both with preposterous plots and IMO, similar levels of acting talent), will understand what I mean.
Having seen about 3 dozen, as each new one comes along, I watch with gleeful anticipation for the next twist on how to deal with yet another "world ending disaster", be it by volcanoes, deadly storms, earthquakes or even sci-fi solar system calamities.
I also know that the forces of good in humankind will always prevail, whether alive or killed-off in the process - all of them great for a bit of "suspended disbelief" entertainment.
On the other hand, if you want wonderful acting and a story-line that will leave your mind fuller and satiated, watch a movie like The unbearable Lightness of Being, or a play on Broadway or London's West End such as Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot.
All have their own places in the world of storytelling and drama. All have fans and critics.
NB: This is my first review, for better or for worse.
