As Far As Roland Emmerich goes, This Is Pretty Darn Good.

Rating: 7/10 (21 August 2014)

Whether you loved this movie or hated it, this is the only Roland Emmerich film I've ever enjoyed. Sure I can vouch I enjoyed "Godzilla" (1998) as a kid back in the day, but growing up and looking back these asses ripped off "Jurassic Park (1993) so bad. I suppose I can see the appeal certain audiences members have for these kind of disaster pictures, but why do they always have to be weighed down by worse than cardboard cut out characters and awful dialogue. I guess this film finally won me over due to its take on global warming. I particularly loved the fact it wasn't space invasion or end of days predicaments, yet that doesn't mean this film is flawless.
Of course this movie is built on nothing but effects. However, we have some decent actors to keep the flow going considerably well, when 3/4 of your time is spent in government labs & meetings. One thing I really enjoyed as well was the movies soundtrack. Yeah they repeat that one song a little too much, but if I'm going to complain about that small thing I might as well declare myself pretty narcissist.
Final Verdict: Forget "Independence Day" (1996), and "2012" (2009). Check out this disaster film that actually has a decent script attached to it. 7/10.
