Should have gone straight to video

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2004)

I am ALWAYS leary of any movie that tries to beat me over the head with the political views of the director/producer/writer. If I wanted political commentary, I would turn on a news network and get some facts. The premise of this movie is so incredibly flawed, I couldn't get past it and the "Look what I can do special effects". The fact is, the earth has gone through at least 2 ice ages, both LONG before man had cars and manufacturing plants. Both these ice ages took YEARS to effect the environment.....it is impossible for the changes to take place so quickly.
The thing that makes disaster movies work, is the basis of "This could really happen." This movie has no basis in reality, so I could not feel myself caring about the supposed plight of the main characters.
This is one disaster of a disaster movie. Next time they might want to either make a movie for entertainment, or to make a propaganda film, not both.
