Rating: 6/10 (17 June 2007)

Yeah, so, it snows and rains a lot and people die. That is the movie. Also, a scientist gets to act superior, because he knew it coming and nobody would believe him and see what that got you. There! Just as one might expect from the pretentious title and subject matter, there is much attempted thought, but this being directed by one of the men that brought us Independence Day and Godzilla, it's just a special f/x bonanza in scholarly clothing. Which isn't to say that it isn't satisfying in a one dimensional way, the f/x are quite special. The flooding of New York, and subsequent freeze, is a real sight to be seen. The cast, much like real people would, become lost in the computer generated masses of mother nature's fury. In the end, the movie represents a piece of popcorn, just like a snowflake, which has no two exactly alike. You eat it and it's gone.
