If You Don't Take It Seriously, You'll Enjoy It More

Wow. This movie is getting some slams! Yes the story is improbable and yes the dialog is corny and yes there were the usual set of outrageous coincidences (I hate how many coincidences there are in movies), but I was so happy with the setting and the effects that I didn't care. After the horrible ending of Independence Day, I wasn't expecting the movie to be probable, so I didn't take it seriously. If you can leave your scientific mind at home, you'll enjoy it more. The flooding of New York by the storm surge was jaw-droppingly well done. Despite getting tired of CGI movies, the quality of CGI in this film is quite stunning and I didn't mind it at all.
