Glad I saw it on the Big Screen

Rating: 10/10 (13 June 2004)

I went for the special effects, which were fantastic, and found that the story had me on the edge of my seat. I cared about the characters and wanted them to succeed in weathering the storm, and to me that's what makes a good movie.
Also, when I walked out of the movie theatre, the sky was a mass of low, grey clouds and a gentle rain was falling. I have never seen a rainy day look so creepy! I wanted to just get in my car and head South!
I know the critic's gave this movie mostly bad reviews. Just shows how jaded they are. I'm glad word of mouth seems to be working, the first two theatres I went to for the afternoon show were sold out!
It's a great movie, well worth seeing on the big screen and later adding to the personal movie library. This one I'm going to watch again.
