If I had to create a movie to discredit something in the general audiences mind - it would be similar to this. Just ridiculous movie- and even worse has Jake Gyllenhall and Dennis Quaid

    I was actually thinking about this movie the other day and I came to the opposite conclusion you did. I don’t remember the characters or the plot line but it’s one of the first mass market movies to ever visualize apocalyptic climate change and I think it deserves immense credit for the mental imprint its left on so many people even if few consciously attribute the visuals to their idea of climate change and just how terrifying it is

      IMO, it hasn’t aged well movie-wise, which I think obscures its overall message. But it’s possible that as I was a child when it came out, I conflate it with Inconvenient Truth and the South Park interpretations enough to poison the well for all lol
