It was the PC undertones I didn't like

Rating: 6/10 (15 November 2009)

Great thrilling disaster film, no doubt about that.
But for me (as I expected) it was the overbearing leftists and PC undertones all the way through the film. Their not serious or even obvious but they are there. All black and Asian characters were portrayed as noble and righteous along with the women and the kids. Not so for the white male characters. An assortment of selfish no gooders, crazies, greedy Russian oligarths, and failed writers and fathers. The majority of the audience would never notice it, but those like me who see politics in almost everything (which is fact) will spot it instantly. I just wish mainstream film makers would quite the self loathing stance because its rampant in the mainstream. Just a bit of balance would have been nice.
Still, its a pretty decent couple of hours to spend watching the spectacle so I would recommend it from that perspective whole heartedly.
