Time I Will Never Get Back!

Rating: 3/10 (3 March 2010)

l have to admit I did like the scene with Woody Harrelson standing on the hill, raging against the universe. Otherwise, this is probably one of the worst big budget movies I have ever seen. It is full of stereotypes, good guys, bad guys, and a total disregard for the victims of the cataclysm. I challenge even the most scientifically uninformed to sit down and pick this mess apart. People act in incredibly irrational ways. Speeches are made at devastating moments. Of course, if we all pull together, we will come out OK in the end. That is after six billion people have died. The formula is in place (did anyone see the newer version of War of the Worlds). There is the husband who only thinks of his work. He has lost the affections of his beautiful wife and his two cute children. She has hooked up with a nice guy who is base and not intellectual. But he likes the kids and is trying to invade the bond that still clearly exists. It's too much. Then there's the Russian guy with his two fat, ugly little kids with their ugly haircuts, who paid a billion Euro to be saved. Throw in the Washington Monument going down again (did anyone see Earth vs. the Flying Saucers) and hundred other landmarks and any other natural treasures that fall before our eyes, and it gets even more tiresome. Also, there's the stunt flying through smoke and debris by a man with two flying lessons that would make Jimmy Dolittle proud. This thing must have cost a fortune and it has almost nothing going for it. People act stupidly, say stupid things, and every sentimental goodbye is used. I suppose they thought this would make this movie more serious. As it is, it is laughable.
