Special effects movie only.. storyline boring.

Rating: 5/10 (9 June 2004)

The special effects were great, but the storyline was a bit cheesy... The movie also felt rushed. It should have been longer, or some parts left out (i.e. the little boy in the hospital). The movie also failed to allow me to let go of reason, even with the awesome special effects. I mean, why on earth would the President try and drive out of Washington D.C. at the very last minute? Couldn't he have just stayed in the "secret underground nuclear bunker" until the storm passed? The message of the movie was very evident and scientifically accurate, at least to our current understanding, and hopefully it will reach some people. However, for a blockbuster movie it fell short. A nice sequel to "The Perfect Storm". :-)
