I remember watching the movie. I was a teenager and while I was scared I didn't have nightmares because to me it was just a movie of what could happen (although I did reread Revelations afterwards.)
I also remember watching Independence Day and other movies of that ilk and cheering as the buildings were blowing up etc....until I saw it for real on September 11th. Now I can't even watch the movie because what it DOESN'T show comes flying back in my memory. Prayerfully I will never see what I saw again - but trust - those movies TOTALLY understates the reality of disasters and how people are hurt and react in panic situations-that was scarier than any movie could ever be.
What I would do? Pray. I've lost some close people unexpectedly and have learned the hard way that no one is promised tomorrow. I just try to live every day doing my very best and letting those around me know that I love them.
