Verdict on Super Tanker
Super Tanker is an action sci-fi thriller following an expert team trying to prevent a worldwide disaster. It involves the American military trying to sink a weapon of mass destruction, however, the mission gets complicated and starts activating with the team facing a race against time.
This movie follows the typical impending disaster movie where a team face a race against time. It has the conflict between the military minds and scientists which only creates a delay in getting the mission complete. This creates a more interesting discussion about what should be done with material from space and how it could be used for the worst in humanity.
Final Thoughts –Super Tanker is an entertaining disaster prevention movie.
