Utter drivel

Rating: 1/10 (7 December 2009)

Gross insult to your intelligence! What were they thinking? By all means have great CGI, but use it sparingly to enhance the story - not to become it. Protagonists have move lives than a black cat wearing four lucky rabbits feet.
Did anybody look at the screenplay/story before the camera started rolling? A modern day "B" movie with all the common sense removed. Don't get me wrong - I love fantastic movies where my sense of belief is put to one side for a couple of hours, but when I am told that this is "real science", then I expect it to be so, or at least a reasonable approximation.
Here are some of the things that really irritated me - there's bound to be a lot more, but I'd lost the will to live after 20 minutes...
Neutrinos pass through the earth unchanged - don't drop energy when they do so, so how can they microwave the earths core? If they do microwave the earth's core, why don't they microwave the surface - i.e. life? Volcanic explosion of the magnitude depicted would have sent out 600 degree gases at speeds just below the speed of sound. Baked in 30 seconds - dropping debris irrelevant - dead already.
Can't get Tsunamis in the middle of an ocean - needs shallows to build up - i.e. coasts.
China (a country, not continental Asia), moves 1500 miles in @ 12 hours - 125 miles an hour, but remains intact and unchanged until...
1500 foot tall Tsunami overwhelms the Himalayas - a range of mountains 10s 0f thousands of feet tall - how?? Why did they not build an super arc on mount Everest - cheaper, quicker and safer? Plane escape - first car leaves off the back of the plane and drives away. Wrecked cars fall off 30 seconds later (1 mile away guessing on plane stall speed), and pass the escape car - they'd be travelling in the opposite direction - how does that work? Don't waste your money seeing this - buy Larry Niven's book "Lucifers Hammer" if you want a really good global disaster story.
