Started excellently, ended badly

Rating: 4/10 (8 May 2009)

When I saw the trailer, I was really excited to see a movie like this. With disasters element but making it more of a thriller than a sci-fi flick. Nicolas Cage is a good actor but chooses movies with horrible endings. From the first 60 minutes where suspense was there and a mysterious thriller about the end of the world got me going. The problem was the way they concluded the movie was just awful. They could have put a simpler ending without bringing up creatures from another world.
The director was good, but like I said in the end everything gets messed up in every aspect. Such a shame for a movie with good plot has to get treated this way. Many of the audience in the theater were not into the ending. You could see they started making fun of it and just were laughing at a dumb ending. Really disappointing.
