Next week the EGU Seismology ECS team launch the most anticipated film competition of the year…! Move over Oscars; take a step back Golden Globes; it’s all about the Geo-Movie Cup 2022!
In a world of endless sequels and massive franchise box-office behemoths, there is one sub-genre that is always guaranteed to entertain – the Geo-Movie! Films that have such a flimsy grasp of scientific accuracy that you can reignite the core or stop an earthquake with a laser-beam. Films that put the protagonists through ordeals that shouldn’t be survivable and yet they make it to the end unscathed. Films that are so bad… they’re good!
Back in 2020 the Geo-Movie Cup was run over Twitter and after a series of rounds, 2003’s ‘The Core‘ convincingly consigned the other contenders to catastrophic collapse! This year we’re taking out this masterpiece and changing a few films round to see what will become 2022’s Best of the Worst!
If you want to get watching (or re-watching…) these films before the voting starts next week, here’s the list, in no particular order:
The Journey to the Center of the Earth
Which one will rise to the dizzying heights of geological stardom? Keep watching EGU_Seismo’s Twitter to have your say!
