I work in this industry and there's no sexism like they showed in this movie. I'm sure there is some somewhere, but this was just over the top weird.

The lava leaking out of the wall was stupid. He would have noticed and most likely died from the heat long before it melted through the wall.

The guy who had his guts fall out was still clearly alive and they left him behind.

Every character in this movie is a douchebag or idiot. The homeless guy seems okay, but i'm sure he will say or do something idiotic at some point.

And the homeless guy is dead, just like my hopes for this movie.

And now a worker has tripped and fallen over a shoulder high barrier.

And then a boat exploded for no apparent reason.

At this point I think it's some kind of meta-self reference, the disaster mentioned in the title is the movie itself.

"Do you smell any gas?"

No, she does not smell any highly toxic hydrogen sulphide gas that will kill you within seconds. No need to wear industry standard PPE when doing your job.

Oh dear god,

"Water can turn into acid?"

This is the stupidest movie I've ever seen. If he doesn't understand what pH means it would be impossible for him to understand chlorination of water and he would be the worst waterworks employee in world history.

The more I watch the more I think it should be on the comedy channel.

Yes, your thin cotton shirt will protect you from burning your hand on the door. Also, be sure to open any doors that hot because there could be warm cookies on the other side.

It is also amazing how the pressure was enough to blow off manhole covers, but not enough to break glass windows in his house.
