Come for the fantastic effects, stay to laugh at the cheeeesy dialog.

Rating: 8/10 (28 May 2004)

Even with the entirely unconvincing 3D animated timber wolves, the special
effects here are superb. The water effects are MUCH better than Titanic, and the weather effects have come a long way since Twister, and the ones in Twister were very good.
A lot of the dialog was eliciting laughs in the audience i saw it with. I couldn't tell if the director was winking or not, but a lot of the "courageous" moments were eliciting a lot of reaction.
Whatever its "artistic flaws", it was really fun. And I left the theater feeling good, rather than queasy, the way I did after Armageddon.
I'd see it twice.
