GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
chameleonaram The acting wasn't bad nor the special effects. And the length of the movie was fine too since you need time to build out the characters. But them, being lucky twice in a row in anything is a achievement upon its on, but like twenty times? I think you all know what I mean, it's just not realistic. But not a reason to rate it below a 6. I was entertained and I watched the whole thing. Giving it below ok, but like many others giving it a 1 , that's not fair! Be honest, too much right to say it was all wrong.... Period!
pgwolfe I would say "dumbest most unrealistic movie ever created by Hollywood" but they continue to "outdo" themselves with dumber movies. Really?!? Nothing in this movie is worth watching. 100% crap.
davyd-02237 First of all, this is a "Disaster movie" with one thing after another to keep the audience "on their feet". What is surprising given the attention to detail is that several characters (male) are pictured in WHITE shirts that remain WHITE no matter what disaster or how many disasters they get into. For me having sat thru 2.5hours, I wont be doing it again - this is an "end of the world movie, with survivors"....they survive in vessels known as "Arks"! I for one didn't have to look too far to see where they got that idea from....DONT Bother, in short its not worthy of your time despite some really good casting, especially Woody Harrelson
Special-K88 Underwhelming disaster film from none other than the director of Independence Day and The Day After Tomorrow, beginning in the year 2009 with some top scientists discovering that Earth's geological disturbances could potentially lead to disastrous results for the human race. Fast forward three years into the future where said disturbances do begin to occur, thus creating a frantic race for a handful of characters as they attempt to survive. Clearly director Emmerich has overplayed his hand in this genre, but no one will complain as long as the special effects are good and he's able to create a fun moviegoing experience; unfortunately this project has that "been there, done that" feel to it, as an intriguing premise is overrun by one preposterous, over-the-top action scene after another, and any potentially poignant ideas are lost in the film's excruciatingly long running time. Overlong, overblown, and not nearly as suspenseful or as exciting as it thinks it is. **
