Really works for me

Rating: 8/10 (29 May 2004)

This movie really worked for me. It had all the aspects of a great action movie. Also by hinting quite openly to the reluctance of the US government to participate in the Kyoto talks it becomes a political comment that will reach a lot more people than would any newspaper coverage or debate. And that is using the film media for a good purpose. So what if the story is predictable? The special effects were magnificent and believable. The story of the father who wants to save his trapped son may to some seem ridiculous in the wake of destruction of the civilized world as we know, but nevertheless it is symbolic of human relations. If you aren't moved by this movie, perhaps you have been hit by an ice age...
