Spent big on the effects, but scraping the barrel when it comes to acting.

Rating: 4/10 (13 November 2009)

This Film has amazing effects but leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the acting. The storyline is predictable, as in most disaster movies, and the dialogue corny and clichéd. however if you are looking for a film that doesn't involve any concentration whatsoever then this is the film to watch. this film could have been saved by delving deeper into the mystery around the Mayan prediction, and maybe allowing the actors to develop some personality. The 'Heroes' showed little emotion despite witnessing and barely surviving the end of the world.
Despite slating the film i would recommend it, just to see the effects, and the sheer preposterousness of the film.
