Disaster! La terra è fottuta

At first, I had my reservations about this movie. I wasn't a big fan of Team America:World Police, and I had heard that this was along a similar vein. Fortunately, I decided to see it anyway, and I laughed harder than I have in a long time. Don't get me wrong, this movie is offensive to just-about every demographic imaginable, but it is in a tongue in cheek way, as opposed to a mean-spirited way. If you can't stand foul language, sex, graphic violence, nudity, and racial stereotypes acted-out by clay figures, then this movie is not for you. But, if you have a sense of humor, like Naked Gun-like physical comedy, and witty, biting dialog, then you must see this movie!

I watched this film last night expecting to see something along the lines of 'Southpark' or 'Team America' since the movie was described as 'hilarious' adult animation. Either my definition of hilarious is different to the reviewers or they have the sense of humour of a 12 year old.

Utterly terrible in all but the standard of the claymation animation, if fart-gags, terrible innuendo, racial stereotype based jokes and puppet nudity are your thing, you'll love it. If you've passed puberty, you'll probably hate it.

As I said the only 'good' thing about the movie is the animation, along the lines of 'celebrity deathmatch', I can't fault the animators talents.

As a parody movie for disaster movies such as Armageddon and other similar movies it sort of works. Its not a brilliant movie, but I do give it 3/10 stars. If movies like Team America is your kind of movie, this might be worth a watch, but this isn't Team America. It just sort of looks like Team America, but cheaper and less well written. Its a bit more forced, cliche and it plays more on sex. It does have a good parody of Stephen Hawking.

The movie actually starts of well enough, but after about 40 minutes the movie gets repetitive and nods to Star Trek, Terminator and classic 70s Sci-fi doesn't really help in this case. Its an OK movie, but not good. There are too many fart jokes in the later half of the movie. Some of the humor seems forced and just how many claymation tits do one need to see? I could go on to say the movie has several overly stereotyped characters, including racist characters. Not for everyone.

It could have been a good movie. However there is simply too much prepubescent humor and a manuscript that ran out of ideas.

"Disaster! The Movie" is a weird mix of the profound and the profane. The profound: a good reflection of our own reflection (ref. Borat's humor). The very fact that the movie's stereotypes and clichés can be funny at times says something about our own values/views of the world. (Guilty...I laughed out-loud at times.) The profane: fart jokes, racism, sexism, homophobia, lackluster plot. Although the plot was soft, the writers have a good eye for those nonsensical sensibilities which seem to SELL and which have been so deadly to quality movies. Also; terrific animation,production values and talented voices. The "Director's Comments" and"Behind-the-Scenes" extras are interesting. If you like "South Park"and "Team America", then give it a try.

This is the funniest movie I've ever seen in my entire life. If you like gratuitous violence, cliché humor, random sex scenes, farting and just raunchy tasteless over the top insanity, then this movie is for you. It is tons better than team America. I could not stop laughing, and new laughs would interrupt old laughs it just kept going and going. It's not for the easily offended or kids, but wow, what a riot. It's so over the top, but it didn't come across as trying to be, like some films just use the F word repeatedly and try to get a reaction, but this movie didn't really need to, they used a lot of other methods to keep repulsive and outrageous without being running one method into the ground. The story was good too, although a rip off of Armageddon, but that made it even better in my opinion.
