All things considered, a decent movie

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

I went into this movie not looking an Academy Award movie, but a movie that would be fun to watch without having to justify its rationality. For the most part this movie met my expectations. The special effects were great, the acting OK, and the script was OK too. I think the movie had a few too many story lines (sela ward's character probably doesn't need to be in this movie) and a couple of unnecessary scenes (most notably the wolves scene). This made the movie seem longer than necessary.
I don't think the movie's exaggeration of these cataclysmic scientific events were too extreme, but I'm no paleoclimatoligist neither. I just thought the movie began and ended reasonably well (which Troy did not do when it re-wrote the historical ending). It was fun to watch and had some well timed comedic moments.
I give it a B- to a B.
