Baaaaaaaaaaad movie!

Rating: 2/10 (30 May 2004)

Once the tsunami swallows NYC, a bad script swallows the movie. What a waste of a great premise and great EFX team! Why did they burn books and not furniture?? Wood burns longer and hotter than paper! How did the wolves survive the tidal wave? Why did the wolves pass up the 500,000 dead people in NYC to come find Jake and friends? What happened to JD's little brother? Father? Why open plots and leave them dangling? Could the characters have been anymore one dimensional? The President with a cowboy hat looking befuddled and being told what to do by the grandfatherly Veep? People in my theater actually laughed at some of the supposedly dramatic moments.
I loved Independence Day, even with it's political overtones that it didn't need, this was even worse and more preachy. Yuck! Wait for the DVD.
