Emmerich should switch to filming trailers.

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2009)

No, really. For years I wonder what is so awfully wrong with Emmerich? He manages to direct awesome CG scenes and terribly fails with everything else: story, suspense, characters, SENSE.
Every trailer to Emmerich movie contains about 100% of what you should really see: kick-ass catastrophes, planes flying through volcanoes, Earth melting into nothing, etc. You come to a movie theater, they force you to listen for an hour to poorly written dialogs, then show extended version of trailer and voilà! The end.
So better watch trailer again and stay home. There are much better ways to spend almost three hours of your precious life.
