... that in every cheesy/low budget natural disaster movie, it's ALWAYS the bloomin' Americans that suffer? What about the rest of the world?? 'O'-red

Oh, this was set off by that thing that was on over the weekend about a solar flare heading towards Earth heating it up etc etc etc until the flare hits the steam from the sea and then suddenly fizzles out, like that would ever happen, the sea would be vapourised!!!

It's about time that a cheesy/low-budget disaster movie was set here in Europe!!! :D

That would only happen if some rich European bankrolled the project, as it is films financed from over the pond have the power to change history well at least try ;)

Yes, but if most of the worlds population died in a disaster, at least we would still have some americans to repopulate the Earth.
