Biggest waste of money in decades

Rating: 1/10 (30 May 2004)

It really makes me angry movies like this are still being made. I laughed a lot while watching it, at how many mistakes it has. But most of all, it has: *The poorest characters ever *The most tremendously bad performances *The worst and most simple and ridiculous script ever It is really a story you simply don't buy even tough the general idea is good and original. The effects are overall good. Three scenes are great, but they are not enough to support the movie. I'm angry because I believe Emerich could have written a check for the 125 million it costed, and donate that much to any charity group, or scientific studies against cancer or even against global warming (now that he cares so much). He could have fed thousands of hungry boys around the globe, instead of making a movie that makes us lose 2 hours of our time.
Aaaaaand, the movie has no ending. Sorry if I spoil it, but just when life on Earth is about to extinguish, and they say nothing can be done to stop the awful weather behavior, IT STOPS ALL OF A SUDDEN, magically! ES, THERE'S NO ENDING BUT A STUPID HALT TO A STUPID STORY. By the way, I liked the idea of the Americans crossing the border to Mexico in need of shelter, at least it was different and original. But, I think Emerich should have gone check the original river they have to cross, because in the movie, people is walking through it, even carrying their suitcases on their heads, perfectly normal and easy, but IN REAL LIFE, people dies cause of the currents and depth of the river in the Border, and of course it is impossible to carry suitcases with you. So then again, an original idea, gone bad. Take an advice and don't watch it'please. See the trailer for the 3 good efects (you can see them there and avoid the torture of the movie)
