The Ark Floods | 2012

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.

So the Ark is a multi billion dollar creation made to survive a world-ending flood, but it's entire hydraulic system was fouled by an electric drill.
Definitely a defense contractor creation.

That day was crazy, thanks, god it's 2024 now.

Meanwhile, the random person who just climbed the Everest that day :
*The heck is going on down there*

[DogInATaco]

Either the worst hydraulics known to man, or the strongest drill cord ever created.
Call it.

3:26 the brutal detail where you can see all the dead people at the bottom when they rushed to the gate

[DP-]

the group trying to safe themselves, a few people, while endangering many thousands was never addressed.

[alexlorenz]

The saddest part of this movie is that if something like this were to happen, the only people who would survive are the incredibly wealthy.

[chicagogurnee]

cannot start the engine without sealing the door ... really?

9:28 Dr Adrian Helmsley: it's Adrian Helmsley we met at Yellowstone

Jackson Curtis: THAT'S GREAT OPEN THE GODDAMN DOOR

[DrLeroyGreen]

If our protagonists had not tried to sneak on to the ark, EVERYONE could have gotten on safely.

[Leostro]

It’s been 12 years since that day. Thankfully I had taken swimming lessons that week so I knew how to float

[Zargabaath]

The monk tolling the bell is such a good scene. Philosophically it's pretty deep. Acceptance and peace in the face of truth.

[MrX-uncz]

It's amazing that the ship got fully capable computer with self diagnostic capabilities and yet none of them figure out that maybe they should create an airlock on the one boarding ramp that will clearly be underwater if the ship started moving considering at the end we clearly see quarter of the ship is submerged

[deliagroer]

I did like that the father redeemed himself by putting his sons first.

[Christianimations]

2:12 I actually cried just now at this because I just feel so bad for this man, he looked so peaceful and nice he doesnt deserve that 😭

[FrazerEddy]

4:36-4:42 One of my favourite shots in the whole film. Also, I love how windy it gets as the wave hits. Really adds to how powerful this massive wave is!

[josue.ortega]

The Russian guy was an a-hole but at least he truly loved his kids, giving his life for them without a second thought

[travisgoonan]

Call me crazy, but I actually felt sorry for that rich Russian bastard when he sacrificed his life for his sons.

[docmemphis]

the most annoying plot in the movie the lead characters almost killed everyone kudos to the writers

[TheSleepSteward]

What do you MEAN you can't start the engines until the doors close? JUST START IT. And there is no chance in hell a rope like that would jam those massive gears and hydraulics up. They can lift thousands of tonnes; the tensile strength of that rope would not even have the slightest chance. And the fact that the one family just screwed all of it up... Omg... BUT I will say... Very fun CGI and it's quite horrifying. Genuinely scary seeing all that water coming for the Ark. Fun movie.
