A What-Nado? The 10 Wackiest Natural Disaster Movies

9) Collision Earth (2011)

OK, Collision Earth is a terrible, awful, no good, very bad movie, but with such a looney premise, I can’t ignore it while writing up this collection of absurdity. Earth has been threatened by asteroids before, raining down in apocalyptic fashion, but what about an entire planet hurtling towards our own? Yes, after a series of science-y events, the sun pulls Mercury out of orbit and sets it on a collision course with Earth, spelling certain doom when both worlds collide. You know, like the Powerman 5000 song?

Oh but wait, this natural disaster hasn’t even reached its full “weird” potential yet. Earth’s only savior turns out to be a disgraced scientist with a defunct weapon program titled “Project 7,” which of course might be our only hope of survival. What follows is a whole bunch of awfulness, so don’t actually watch this flick, but based on the merits of being one of the craziest setups for disaster, it gets a mention here.

Now let’s talk about some more interesting movies…
