Yes it's a disaster.

Rating: 1/10 (22 March 2005)

A spoiler.
Roland Emmerich does it again. The man is certainly consistent. His movies are depressingly dull, turgid affairs... but... wait.. in this clinker, the great director experiments. Wow, he's putting the climax at the beginning. That's right. He's spent the sfx budget in the first half hour. After the usual explosions, we get to experience 2 hours of typically tedious 'Emmerichian' dialog, lots of polystyrene snow, and the inside of a library before the words 'The End' crawl on to the screen, in front of a comatose audience. Dismal. It's a Roland Ememrich film so, usual advice,... avoid.
