Short and Sweet

Rating: 3/10 (22 November 2009)

Short and sweet is NOT what this movie is, it is what I will make this comment.
Exceptional cast + awesome story idea + $260 million budget = Great movie
That is a simple equation so how did Roland Emerich screw it up?
No character development, no story, and no emotion. This movie is one CGI scene after another. The characters are surviving one event after the other with no real meaning.
Anyone watching the movie can predict with 100% certainty what will happen next.
If you like special effects with no story or endearing characters then this movie is for you. It is a shame that this movie had such potential and I think it was all flushed down the drain. It is sad to see decent actors acting so bad!
My advice for anyone who wants to go to the theater to see this is... Save $20 and wait for the rental and then only if nothing else is available!
