It only took 30 min.

Rating: 4/10 (6 June 2004)

The first 30 min were okay, nice special effects and so on. Then... it all starts getting soft. I was expecting the extinction of mankind... death, destruction we're all going to die!!! But no... they had to turn it into a love story. Father misses his son, boy loves girl... C'mon. And why not throw in some religion. I'm referring to the part where the male librarian says that he's not religious but on the other hand doesn't want to burn the bible because it was the first book written by man, blablabla...typical American I'll have to say. There were numerous of such spoiling moments. The last shot in the chopper did it to me... 1 shot of boy and father, second shot of boy and girl, third shot of white rich boy and black boy...Oh brotherly love... I got all soft in my belly. Lucky me (and 2 friends), we had some Heineken beers with us and made arrangements at a Thai restaurant afterwards or my night was spoiled.
