Why does Hollywood still not understand Science 101?

Rating: 1/10 (7 July 2007)

This movie was a huge disappointment. It was supposed to be about the effects of global warming. Instead, the movie trivialized the whole thing. First off, if it was to get to 150 below zero, where was NASA? Do you know how cold that would be? That would be a cold temperature on Mars. If there were only 8 days left before the deep freeze why assign a minor scientist to solve the problem? NASA would have been madly trying to develop space suits. You would need a space suit just to survive those temperatures. Instead, we have people running around with their faces exposed. The biggest joke was believing that if you shut the door on the New York Public Library that you would be protected from the cold. You would need triple-paned glass, and space suits just to survive 150 below zero. All the creators had to do was say 70 below zero. That would have been realistic for survivability, although still Fairbanks, Alaska cold. Then, the freeze happens all of a sudden. People are running outside, and then all of a sudden the cold comes. How silly. In addition, for no reason it warms up to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit. Yippee!! Not! If that were not ridiculous enough, when the tidal wave is heading towards downtown Manhattan, people are walking around slowly to get each other together. Hello. The water would be coming at about 500 miles per hour. And why the New York Public Library? There were plenty of bigger, more secure buildings. You might have survived better if you cordoned yourself into a stairwell in one of the skyscrapers. And why all of a sudden do all these people decide to leave and walk south for food? In rural New Jersey, you would find far less then if you stormed into all the big buildings in New York City. There would have been cafeterias and fridges all over the place. Why would they leave New York City? What happened to the ship? Why was it abandoned? I also thought that wolves don't attack humans. About the only good thing about this movie was the special effects. Although, there was a huge period for about an hour where people were boringly sitting around a fire in the library talking about nothing
