A disastrous disaster movie.

Rating: 3/10 (4 April 2010)

In cost to crappiness ratio, this flick ranks very, very high. I didn't expect much of a Roland Emmerich movie in terms of story or character depiction. But this is just ludicrous, even for his standards. This movie only lives of its visuals, why did he bother to include any story at all?! The worst is, that the characters are pretty much recycled from "The day after tomorrow" with only minor changes. The different nations are portrait in a horribly stereotypical and clichéd way you'd only expect an American director to do. And the dialogs... Oh god, the dialogs! My favorite was the quote of the chief of staff of the white house criticizing the climate expert with "Do you want to responsible for the extinction of humanity? Can you live with this?!" That line was either a genius easter egg of the writers or simply the irony of bad writing. We'll never know.
If you can bear your intelligence being insulted like this, go and watch it. The effects are amazing. Just don't expect anything else.
