Keeping the Sabbath With Disaster Movies

I am trying to keep the Sabbath by not doing business or working. I turned on the TV and looked at what Google TV suggested. Somehow, I ended up in a disaster movie category. Some were familiar such as Armageddon.  Many are familiar plot ideas. London is flooding. Mom must escape with her child. 

Way too many involve one maverick professor or grad student trying to save the world from a disaster that has a several hour timeline. 

A few that I started such as 2012: Ice Age start with such horribly overdone dialog and "sciencey-sounding" phrases that i had no hope for something that would entertain me without making me cringe. It really is not that hard to write a sci-fi script that is actually somewhat based on real science.  Pretty clearly, it is very easy to raise money to make several million dollars movies with horrible scripts.
