Great Comedy, though it wasn't supposed to be!

Rating: 2/10 (15 June 2004)

This movie billed itself as a disaster movie, but as the climactic events began to occur it became obvious it was a comedy. The laughable science that the writer/director used made possible frightening events into hearty chuckles! Evacuating the entire southern U.S....HA HA HA, Ice age in a week! HA HA HA... Helicopters frozen right out of the sky! HA HA HA HA HA... Only Monty Python could've exaggerated more but of course they're trying to be funny! The initial theory that the writer is using is a well established one but the truth is that when the events begin to occur the process will take decades to centuries to change the weather on the earth. The tornado scene in Los Angeles is probably the funniest in the film. Not only do tens of tornados all appear at the same time in a small geographical area, but they specifically go after the weather reporters for the local t.v. station! I believe these were "smart storms" taking out the enemy!
I also appreciated the wolves that escaped from the zoo who were ravenous and going after our main characters. The fact that there were millions of dead bodies lying about after the storm surge apparently didn't satisfy the hunger of these wolves and they were forced to hunt fresh meat! Of course, the storm surge came into Manhattan but forgot to leave, then it froze in a matter of hours! Salt water, at depths of 50 feet and more, freezing in a matter of hours! You have to love the imagination of this writer! Enjoy the laughs!
