Sobering

Rating: Null/10 (6 June 2004)

Special effects quite good. Yes,there are illogicalities- Hall's quest from D.C. to Manhatten to find his son is illogical. But without that, the movie is only about the Northern hemisphere going down the (frozen) toilet. The effects depicted in the film may be exaggerated but global warming does appear to be changing weather patterns. If you don't believe this, start reading the newspaper. Quaid's performance OK, Sela Ward is still a babe even if she's got some lines in the face now, recognized some of the actor's faces, but couldn't place where I had seen them before. Even if he was a fictional character, it was still nice to see the President of the United States utter that magic phrase "I was wrong." Too bad we don't see that from President A.W.O.L. By the way, Ron Darling, former Mets pitcher from the '86 World Series team is in this.
