Based on early reactions to “Twisters,” director Lee Isaac Chung's legacy sequel is shaping up to be one of the summer's biggest films. Critics have praised the disaster movie, and if the film is a box office smash, it is likely that many audiences will soon be clamoring for more chaos.

For those who have already seen “Twisters” and are looking for more chaos, we have covered all (weather) aspects and more. Over the years, humanity has faced everything from F5 tornadoes, tsunamis, and flash floods to massive earthquakes and even extraterrestrial threats such as Texas-sized asteroids and otherworldly entities on the silver screen.

If you left the cinema wanting to see more films documenting the destructive power of nature (or forces beyond nature), here are five films to watch after “Twisters.”

“Geostorm” is a sci-fi disaster film directed by Dean Devlin and starring Gerard Butler as satellite designer Jake Lawson.

After a series of natural disasters (caused by climate change), world governments band together to create “Dutch Boy,” a network of satellites equipped with geoengineering technology that can stop future disasters. Years later, the Dutch Boy network becomes dysfunctional.

When that network begins to malfunction and a series of “accidents” begin to occur, Jake and his estranged brother Max enter a race against time to find out what caused the global catastrophe “Geostorm” before it destroys the earth.

Now, I'll admit that this is a bit of a different field to choose from, but Roland Emmerich's latest blockbuster has to be seen to be believed, even if it didn't attract many critics when it opened in 2022.

The film depicts a swarm of alien technology infiltrating the moon, bringing Earth to the brink of destruction, an event witnessed only by subsequently disgraced astronaut Brian Harper (Patrick Wilson). 10 years later, Brian and his former colleague Joe Fowler (Halle Berry), join forces with a conspiracy theorist (John Bradley). The mission is to correct the moon's orbit and then confront the alien threat, as the moon continues to tilt toward Earth, causing all sorts of chaos.

If this sounds ridiculous, and if you think things couldn't get any weirder, you clearly haven't seen “Moonfall” yet.
