Make sure you come just for special effect.

Rating: 6/10 (19 November 2009)

I have watched lots of Roland Emmerich's movies so I went to Cinema hoping to watch a group of people, families, antagonists and protagonists which struggle together to overcome even the most unbelievable enemies - you know, giant UFOS (ID4), spiders (Eight Legged Freaks), lizard (Godzilla), blizzards(The Day after Tomorrow) and now disasters - and survive. This is a proved formula to entertain people.
However, the plot here is the other way around. I watch earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis which have to 'struggle' to overcome their most unbelievable enemies : a group of die hard people.
No matter what kind of disaster is being thrown to them, they can overcome it with just minor scratches. The story stop for me when a continent moved to save their poor asses. Can't take it anymore.
I switched my mind off and just waiting for breathtaking CGI scenes to watch. Don't even care about all the conflicts, heroic speeches, act of bravery etc in the finale, since these people are NOT ordinary people anymore. Definitely, they'll survive from anything.
Luckily the special effect is top-notch, so I'm not really wasting my >2 hours time for nothing - not include my effort to get the ticket.
Gave 6/10 because the special effects. Sorry for my English.
