Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.
PolkainWarsaw Using my best Comic Book Man voice I say, one of the worst........ movies.......... EVER. There is more cheese in this film than in the entire state of Wisconsin.I take that back. Wisconsin is too nice a place to associate with this loser. Sorry Wisconsin. As of this writing, I'm STILL waiting for something to happen in this movie.It is not a total loss though, if viewed in the proper setting. Have your own MST3K night! Pop some corn, chill a bottle or two, and maybe do the twist,,,nudge,nudge ;o) . You'll soon be "riffing" as if you're trapped on a space station ! Peace out from sunny Tennessee.
kai ringler don't know why these people are bashing the movie,, it's quick, compact, precise to the point , in you're face unique,, original,, some thing new,, that i've never seen anyway,, highly believable,, i mean global warming,, ozone layer, pretty convincing stuff to me,, i thought the movie was funny, interesting, and set out to prove a point and it did so very well i might add, the acting was better than average, it ain't gonna win no academy awards, or Emmie's,, but hey what do you want here from a supposed to be b-grade movie, the parts about the animals acting strange,, the whales getting beached in groups the bees swarming,, the insects,, and the best is the Birds homage to Alfred Hitchcock,, the birds flying into the windows,, now that ladies and gentlemen is a cause to freak out,, and definitely think that the sky is falling. overall i don't have any problems with the movie at all, excellent disaster flick,, not overdone,, not underdone either,, so thumbs up,, to heck with what everyone else is saying on here.
donald_rose Provided your belief is suspended about 60,000 feet above sea level (in-joke) this is a brainless, harmless way to spend 90 minutes. It isn't great science so don't expect too much.Some of the actors are really quite good and it is fun to see them out of their normal milieu. Bradley Whitford is a smooth, skilled, understated actor with just enough quirks to make him always interesting. John Billingsley is always delightful although it would be nice to see him stretch outside his typecast and nearly trademarked nerdiness.Corbett is quite competent but not in Billingsley's or Whitford's class. The other leads are jobbing actors, good enough, but without the high skill level to make something interesting from their cardboard characters.Keep your belief well suspended and don't be too critical of the science and this is a way to spend 90 minutes of a boring, rainy day.Anyway Billingsley's always fun to watch with his weird mannerisms.
Thomas Nielsen And perhaps it should be left for the scientists to fiddle with. This movie clearly shows that the disaster genre is even more volatile than our ozone layer. If it had been a comedy the sheer unbelievability of this plot would be acceptable, but posing as serious it definitely isn't. So poorly made it is almost tragic."Hey! I have ten minutes to spare. Let's go patch up the environment!"
