.....and I did, so there ya go. This IS about as braindead as Independence Day and Armageddon reality wise too-an instant Ice Age in a matter of Days? Really? Glaciation takes millenia and of course there's that nagging fossil record to deal with...but anyhoose...that's all besides the point in a flick like this.
Spoilers below am sure!
I liked the familiar faces-Quaid, Jay O Sanders, 'Mueller' from 'Basic', Sela Ward, Perry King as Bush Jr, the Cheney lookalike was quite obvious too, Ian Holm, etc. All good.
Terrific sequences-the tornadoes ripping thru LA, the flooding of Noo Yoike (boys they done made that there Statue of Liberty Tough huh?!), the instand Ice age, the shots of the Huge Storms while inside their eyes, etc, all well and good. Crossing the Rio in droves-turnabout being fair play...
Bad sequences-the wolves were idiotically done. The ship scraping right by the library, yah right. The pay phones working under 9 feet of water. Quaid thinking he can drive/snowshoe from Philly to NY in the middle of the Instant Ice Age. And didn't we somehow forget about the South Pole being Arctic too and maybe there'd be some Freezing all along S America, Aussie, S Africa, etc? Sure guys all in the north....
This is simply your basic Disaster flick ala ID4, the Poseidon Adventure etc etc. Enjoy it for what it is. I liked the F/X and enjoyed the fam. faces as I said, though it's quite as believable as Armageddon and not as funny.
*** for the Big Freeze.
