I missed 12 Angry Men for this!

Rating: 3/10 (16 May 2005)

I just caught this on HBO. This movie was horrible! Outside of fancy special effects, (none of which were original), this movie was a waste of film. Under developed characters, under developed personal situations, and nonsensical actions.
The characters out run a tidal wave, close a wooden door to keep out temperatures so low it shatters concrete, diagnose a sickness from a book, and just happen to find penicillin on a tanker ship that just happened to float down the street and stop conveniently in front of the library. The wolves were ridiculous. The could have eaten the bodies left from the folks who froze to death.
What was the point of burning the books in the library, when it was filled with wooden tables,chairs and bookshelves? Can you spell stooooopid? What was the deal with the Dr staying at the hospital with the child? The child couldn't travel, but he could withstand freezing temperatures. And the police came back just for the two of them out of all the people left in New York? Dennis Quaid as the dad who walks across the frozen wilderness only to arrive in NY looking like he spent the day at the spa. Another thing about that trip. When the fellow falls through the roof of the shopping center, how was Quaid able to hold himself, the fallen fellow, and his sled with one hand on his hammer. Must have one hell of a grip! I want my money back, and I didn't even pay to see this pile of crap!
