I liked this film (SPOILERS?)

Rating: Null/10 (16 June 2004)

I went to see this film expecting not to like it because of some negative comments I'd read about it and was surprisingly engaged by it - as were the two people with me.
The effects, of course, are absolutely magnificent, especially the flooding of New York, the twisters, and the coming of the great cold, and the performances by Dennis Quade and Jake W were OK.
I realize that the events depicted could not take place within such a short period of time, but they could nonetheless occur over a longer period. If nothing else, the film might make a few people aware of what humans are doing to the planet, so that is a good thing.
The only things I really didn't like were the inclusion of the obligatory Hollywood love interest (the girl with the son), and the completely unnecessary addition of the Quade character's wife.
Nonethless, 8/10.
