The Best Movie This Year!

Rating: 10/10 (27 May 2004)

OK I have just got back from seeing it and all I can say is wow! Actually that is not true I will go into more about it (without spoilers) and make an argument against all the trolls.
The movie has spectacular, realistic visuals. Some of the scenes are breath taking... Much better than scenes from similar movies like Deep Impact, as they are realistic and sudden. One of the beauty's of this film is the sudden events and changes, just like the weather believe it or not. The story is pretty linear, which in my opinion goes perfect in this kind of movie. Do not expect to go to see a movie with a complex storyline or deep character development because that is not what this is about. The other thing I loved about this movie compared to other disaster movies is it actually shows what happens after the disaster. I read one review saying the ending was rushed, too be honest I do not think he even saw the movie. For once you get to see what happens after the disaster. Independance Day for example just ends when the Aliens are defeated, it doesn't go into what happens to mankind after, this does a little more. By this I don't mean it tells you everything, but you get the idea or direction after the storm.
OK about all the people saying "this is anti-republican" or "this is unrealistic", I just don't understand you guys. Firstly, this is not anti-republican, its simply a disaster movie. It says global warming is to blame, yes, but it just says its mankind's fault. This has pretty much been proven many times before that we are causing damage to the environment (CFCs from before, CO2 emissions from vehicles). Anyway the other thing about realism, people are saying "how can global warming cause an ice age", well it is only a theory, but it is to do with the desalination of the oceans (reduction in salt) and this is due to the melting of the polar icecaps. Basically this increase in cool, desalinated water effects the speeds of currents, effecting the speed of currents then can effect of major currents, i.e. the gulf stream. Anyway, this leads to the chain reaction and I'm sure you have seen the trailers. Again its to do with air pressure changes due to current changes, etc, etc.
Anyway I will shut up now, go and see it expecting a great action movie!
