Entertainment at its best

Rating: 8/10 (15 November 2009)

This movie was so much fun to watch! I went in with my best friend to watch it, and I walked out of the movie theater very satisfied with the experience. Emmerich is a great director and writer. Special effects were awesome, John Cusack performance was very believable. All the children were amazing. However, Amanda Peet's performance was terrible. It was so fake. And although Thandie Newton is an amazing actress, her role here was redundant. The movie is over 2 hours long, but the time went by pretty fast, it has non-stop action scenes, and emotional moments at time. This movie is not based in history, it is not a documentary, it is created to entertain, so don't expect to learn anything new. Just enjoy the ride, it's worth the time.
