Don't Bother!

Rating: 2/10 (5 December 2009)

Just like The Core (2003) before it, this films tries to portray that shielding the general public from the idea we are all going to die is the best approach for public safety, The problem with this approach is that if it isn't carefully applied you often end up alienating the audience unfortunately this movie succeeded wonderfully
After the initial adrenaline rush of the main actors escaping the deviation of the U.S.A fades away
A more sinister reality begins to emerge and I couldn't help feeling throughout the movie that if a 2012 style of disaster did occur this is exactly the way it would play out
At least Deep Impact (1998) had the elements of a citizen lottery to ensure some semblance of fairness
After a long boring and predictable rescue scene involving John Cusack - Jackson Curtis, Liam James - Noah Curtis and Chin Han – Tenzin towards the end of movie, it then tries to tie it up all nicely with the lucky rich "and presumably better equipped militantly" survivors heading off to re-colonize Africa
In a word NO
