Uneven But Entertaining Horror

Rating: 8/10 (18 March 2007)

If this was supposed to deliver a warning, it failed. If it was intended to entertain, it hit its mark.
Stunning visuals, compelling story, and gritty performances mark this Emerich tale from beginning to end. Graphically speaking, this film is amazing. The visuals are completely awesome; wholly realistic.
The story line runs smoothly as possible, with gaping scientific holes reminiscent of Gore's alarmist presentation in An Inconvenient Truth. This is in no way what WILL happen. The story embraces the most unintelligent of popular tripe and capitalizes on the fears of the ignorant. But in an entertaining way. If you are intelligent enough to ignore the environmental posturing to enjoy the fictitious story presented, this can be a great way to spend a couple of hours.
It rates a 7.8/10 from...
