Not as good as the marketing. Not nice people.

Rating: 6/10 (6 February 2008)

The idea of the handy cam following a group of people through a disaster works really well. The quality of the sets and the CGI is very high and the action is believable.
The story flows well enough, but there are parts where it feels like a re start of the action as they can't think what to do next. The point where they leave the Army camp for the first time being an example.
The Army come out of this really well, organised, brave and with plans already in place. It's just that the numpties that have the camera don't have the self awareness to realise this.
This is where the film falls down badly. I really did not like the people that I was following, they where self absorbed and without context in the chaos that was around them.
