10 Movie Directors Who F**king Doubled Down On Your Hate
10. It's Always The End Of The World For Roland Emmerich
There's something to be said about a director who simply does not give a toss about how their movies are received, how historically accurate they are, or how precise the science used in their big screen offerings is when all is said and done. In short, as Roland Emmerich has put it himself, this director is "a filmmaker, not a scientist". And boy, does it show.
With the director's features not exactly overflowing with rich dialogue, ever-twisting narratives, or even logical character developments for the most part, the over-reliance on CGI-heavy, and often nonsensical set-pieces in Emmerich's frequent ventures into the "what if the world got royally fudged up?" genre have become almost a parody of themselves at this point.
Perhaps most hilarious is the fact that Emmerich confessed 2012 would be his "last, quote-unquote, action-disaster movie.” For those keeping score, Independence Day: Resurgence hit theatres in 2016, with Moonfall, a movie about the Moon getting a little too close for comfort, set to collide with audiences next year.
Emmerich knows you're sick of watching the world tediously burn. But you can kiss his moon if you think he's stopping any time soon.
