My God, did this suck

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2003)

The story was dark enough from beginning to end to make Eugene O'Neill cringe. The acting was nonexistent, and the script seemed geared mainly to get the viewers from one overblown set of special effects to the next. (SPOILER NEXT) And the idea that the very place that has been squirreled away in the middle of nowhere and prepared specifically for a nuclear disaster would A) be deserted at the moment of truth and B) have nothing but a ham radio and a podium for the President to speak at is ludicrous even by modern-movie standards. I am normally a fan of Schwarzenegger's work, but this one had me wondering how badly he needed the paycheck.
