The Emmerichs are at it again!

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

The Emmerichs brought us aliens and the king of the monsters Godzilla himself, now they bring us global warming. I went into this movie expecting a movie driven on special effects and was not disappointed. The flooding and weather effects look real and are very well done, even some of the action sequences around the effects are intriguing. The only problem is the improbably story lines detract from the whole picture. Its hard for me to believe for example that Randy Quaid's associates have nothing better to do than to follow him on an insane journey during dawn of the next ice age. Quaid's journey is so improbable and meaningless that it distracts you from the rest of the story. In short its the movie is about a 6.5 out of 10...good summer fun but the story needs some punching up.
