must see film for action fans

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2009)

I went to see this film last night with my wife and all I can say is wow. This film kicks your butt, waits for the stinging to stop and then kicks it some more. Both myself and my wife were on the edge of our seats. It's a long film but the ( almost 3 hours ) flew by. The special effects are fantastic and the casting was spot on. Unlike most disaster films there was no long drawn out bits of dialogue discussion on how they're gonna save the Earth, the first 20 minutes gives the background on why the planet's coming to an end and then the action kicks in, and boy does it kick in. Anybody looking for a film with an intricate plot should probably avoid this as you're gonna feel let down, however if you want almost 3 hours of non stop action, excellent effects without having to think too much about what's going on then you'll love this film. If like me you're a Roland Emmerich fan, then this is probably his finest film to date. Hope you find this review helpful, and if you go see it, hope you enjoy it.
