The world wakes up to find continental drift has sped up a hundred thousand times! Instead of moving centimeters a year, continents will now be kilometers away from where they were a year ago! Maps are redrawn almost constantly!
Things are suddenly awesome!!
Oceans appear and disappear in a single generation! Continents collide and divide within living memory! International relations are much more complicated, given this new reality of constantly-shifting natural borders. Land disappears into the earth's core so fast you can almost watch it happen.
Also I guess some buildings fall over when the tectonic plates speed up!
Just SOME buildings?
Lots of buildings? But the focus isn't on the initial disaster!
Varied, interconnected disasters now threaten civilization itself: ocean currents change, weather and temperate zones shift drastically, volcanic eruptions become commonplace. We're talking GENERATIONS of slow, sustained catastrophe! Man! I'm super excited to make this movie!!
LATER:
Apparently what I should've said is that I'm super excited to spend YEARS working on developing the skills, funding, and personal network necessary to create this movie??
*sigh*
Yaaaay reality
