Rating: 7/10 (12 November 2009)

you can't deny this is film making on a grand scale, Sure it's formulaic but isn't that the point. We all know from the outset who's going the make and who's not. but its all driven along at breakneck speed, and come on who hasn't wanted to see John Cusack in another bang crash blockbuster a la con air. if you want a film with lava,floods,beards, camping, Russian billionaires, Poseidon adventure, submarine movie, domestic drama, cute children, hats,tightrope walking king charles spaniels,a buddhist metaphor about tea, bentleys and above all sudden crevices ,this is your lucky apocalypse. for 2 1/2 hours long it sure didn't feel a drag.
