Nothing Special

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2004)

This film was pretty much what I expected from Roland Emmerich, best known for Independence Day. Nothing special. Glorified storms, a lot of snow, some special effects, and no emotion. I wasn't impressed. He could've saved us money by making this a TV movie. The trailers explained the film, so why go see it. After all, Independence Day was a real waste of money and talent. So that alone should keep you away from this one. And it's about time New York and L.A. get a break from being the cities that take all the punishment in movies. It's about time other cities around the globe got kicked around in these crappy films about the world coming to an end. There is one good thing that I can say about this film. It makes us think about the 'what-ifs.'
