It's big, epic CGI disaster stuff. A good old fashioned popcorn movie. It will probably get you talking about global warming and all, and some capitalists will happily rubbish the movie and continue to think that pollution has no consequences at all. It's Hollywood, and a movie covering hundreds or even thousands of years would be dull, so let's change the world in 7 days instead.
Being Australian, I object to the characterisation that I come from a 3rd world country, and the film panders to the laughably egocentric view that if the USA fails, then civilization has been destroyed. But then we're all used to that!
Best wave ever!! And whilst the CGI is the star, the acting is good enough for you to care what happens to the characters. There is a good recognisable support cast that keeps you guessing about which ones will meet a gruesome end. I was hoping to see propeller guy in this one (the CG stunt hero from such films as Titanic and Return of the King - best fall guy ever!)
