A true disaster of a movie

Rating: Null/10 (20 January 2006)

What a terrible movie. I don't mind a bad 'B' picture but to spend so much money on a stinker.... Now, for example, when people fall into flood water they come out dirty and stinking. Even after days without food or sanitary facilities, the 'survivors' look neat and clean, even scrubbed.... and where was the beard stubble? And confronted by the end of present civilisation, no-one would emote about their personal feelings - the 'hierarchy of needs' kicks in i.e. you concentrate on survival. And how did the survivors (and the wolves) get into the ship unless the deck was on the level with the ice (which it wasn't)? Was it seriously suggested that in a matter of days millions of people flooded (sic) into Mexico? Where did the rescuers find arctic survival gear? So much attention paid to CGI effects - they lost the point, in that they were so obviously CGI effects. Oh for the days of real stuntmen, and .....imagination. And credible characters. And good screen writing.
