Fun eye candy but absurd premise.

Rating: 4/10 (26 November 2004)

Excellent special effects but in all candor I'm a little tired of pseudo-science being passed off as real. But as I said, good special effects and fun for that but one's credibility MUST be suspended. Acting seems fair to good. The shots of New York flooding were really cool. I do see a risk of some people taking all this seriously and desiring that we do something about it before it really happens. I think that lots more harm than good could well come of this. A point the Vice President early in the movie makes is that the fiscal consequences of taking this stance might well be worse than the physical consequences of not taking it. So if one doesn't take it too seriously, it's a fun movie.
