I'll always respect something that is completely unafraid to jump that chasm. Arguably it plummets to its death rather than making a safe landing, but at least it was unafraid. Besides, it could just..
Anyway this is a pure 100% guilty pleasure. There's not too much wrong with that and indeed even saying guilty pleasure.

Even when the inevitable CG kicks into gear, it wasn't off-putting at all like it so often is in grand scale movie disasters. Which is somewhat surprising to me given that it's a Gerard Butler movie and one that's helmed by the director of Angel Has Fallen Over (which I've NOT seen tbf but I have assumptions which…
