If you've seen the trailer, you've seen it

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2004)

Well, now I know the difference between a 70's disaster movie and one from 2004: About 6 bucks in the ticket price. Acting was decent, some of the special effects were well done, main plot was largely unbelieveable but not too terrible, subplots were warmed over Airport/Poseidon Adventure. I expected to see Gene Hackman and Shelly Winters climb out of the ship that parks in front of the New York Library. Speaking as one, I will be surprised if this wins over any converts to global warming. All the best effects are in the trailer--that's all you need to see. Good to see Ian Holm--he's always good--but largely wasted here. 4 out of 10
