Typical Emmerich Garbage

Rating: Null/10 (28 May 2004)

I had no high expectations going into this movie, but I wasn't prepared for the cliche-riddled piece of stereotypical Emmerich trash that I witnessed on screen. Except for the special effects, there is virtually nothing positive I can say about this film. The dialogue is almost unbearably cheesy, the characters are stale and boring, and the story is laughably thin. The underlying theme of environmentalism is so poorly incorporated into the script that it almost seems like an overwrought afterthought.
Normally, I would have been disappointed that such a promising premise should be so overlaid with predictability and similarities to other disaster films. In this case, I was simply angry.
