Good fun

Rating: 10/10 (12 November 2004)

I have watched this film a few times now and the more I watch it the more I enjoy it. Roland Emmerich has a talent for making movies that are great fun and pure enjoyment to watch. I admit the plot has a few weak points but it really grips you all the way through.
The special effects however are nothing short of stunning, and the best this is they look so real, the opening scenes of the ice flow looked perfect. I thought they where real till I watched the DVD special features. Too often movies with heavy CGI use look fake (see Star Wars ep 1 and 2), but this film is totally convincing, the CGI is flawless, (see the flooding of NYC and the opening titles for proof).
Best Character, Sam Hall, good actor and has at least the best lines,
Jaw Dropping moment, the Tsunami hitting New York
Cheesy moment, the end speech (he soon changed his tune)
Over all rating 9 , aside from thin plot, this film has everything to entertain you. Watch it and enjoy it.
Global warming is a problem and this film highlights that, we all need to try a little harder to make care of the planet we all live on. Maybe the US could look a little harder at this one.
