Very Average

Rating: 6/10 (11 February 2005)

This flick falls into the catastrophe category which has been repeated over and over as the end of mankind. Armageddon, Independence day etc. This film for me delivered what I expected it to.
Yes, it has fantastic special effects but what big budget movie doesn't these days?. It's far too slow moving for my liking and without the special effects, I very much doubt whether I would have got to the end credits. At least Independence Day didn't rely solely on effects, it had characters in it with attitude (Will Smith, Jeff Goldblum & Bill Pullman) as very important back-up to keep the prospective audience interested whilst they were not seeing mass destruction.
Rating 6/10 Disappointing.
