Political Agenda poorly disguised

Rating: 5/10 (28 February 2005)

Movies that use thrilling special effects to push poorly developed political agendas down our throats leave a bad taste in my mouth. Roland Emmerich had a point to make, and he chose to do so with scare tactics since he couldn't actually back himself up with facts.
Sure, there are plenty of good movies based on impossible scenarios but all of these movies are meant to be purely fiction. Godzilla is a good movie despite the fact that a creature that large's legs would break under its own weight. It would be easier to suspend disbelief for The Day After Tomorrow if I didn't already know that it was made for us to believe it as truth.
