Will it be like the disastrous 10,5 or rather like the excellent War of the Worlds ? (dad)

Rating: 4/10 (26 October 2016)

The difference is simple : the first tells apocalypse through President, agencies, military so with boring characters that we don't give a S..t about while the second tells the same story trough an ordinary family. Well, i would say that this one begins like the first and finishes like the second. More accurately, i watched everything at the start but after 30 minutes of this dreadful politician and experts talks, i skip all the institutional, governmental scenes and the movie had more punch then, at least during the coming of the storm in NYC and what happens to Emmy and friends inside the library. Indeed the plot is totally unbelievable (twister, tornadoes, blizzard coming by surprise), the characters are pretty lame (a bum with his dog, a nerd, a ill child, etc..). In fact, sometimes i had the feeling to watch ID4 again, aliens switched for climate. Anyway the mission of Quaid to save his son is just a white cold trip with incoherence (coming from Miss Liberty ?). Except the good acting from Emmy and her boyfriend and some stunning visuals, there is not really much beyond.
