Headache

Rating: 5/10 (15 November 2009)

I liked the special effects. But the movie itself was so long and it laughs at the face of geophysics. Rest assured many of you doomsdayers, nothing will happen on that year. Gravity is a weak force even though thats how planets interact. And a planetary alignment will not break apart the earth's crust. Rifts are actually quite harmless. But as usual it follows the formula. Mass destruction, bad acting and some random White American family survives. 2 and a half hours of this kind of gave me a migraine. I still like the effects though. Thought it was pretty cool. Honestly you could tell that 90 % of the shots were CG so the actors had no clue of what they were actually running away from, hence the bad acting. To get the true sense of the film, if the kids actually saw the city cave in, they would be leaking their pants. Now that would be an Oscar performance.
