Not so bad

Rating: 8/10 (25 November 2012)

I had no hopes when I saw this film today, as the critics here didn't like it, when it was shown. I guess they thought it was a foolish scenario, but we know better now! Time has showed us that reality is even worse than this movie depicts, as just a tiny storm that hit New England this year wrecked more that this super hurricane. Imagine one hitting the entire northern hemisphere! Overall, amazing special effects, and fair, to good, acting. There are a few logical errors, like that the mobile phones work even after the storm has cut the power, and so on, but no major gaffs. Unless it is the bear in the cage that has moved sides, apparently (sharper eyes than mine has pointed out that the bear is in the same cage, but the film has been flipped over the second time, for no good reason, as the sign saying bear is mirrored).
Dennis Quaid, and the rest of the actors, do their jobs, and are pretty good at it, but it is the FX that really makes this film.
