Better than the credit people give this

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2010)

This film is visually sensational and the acting is decent except some extremities but in a situation as the one depicted in this film, you'd expect extreme behavior.
Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhaal do as well as you'd expect, they've never let me down. They could make or break this film, and to be they made it.
The story is much more than "father tries to rescue the world and his son", it's about the compassion in others, our abuse of natural resources, learning from our mistakes, and our political stance in the world.
This is a very humbling film with great visuals and a story so extreme it can't be completely impossible.
If you want an easy to down 2 hours, get this film and watch it, just be sure to get it in the best quality possible, you won't be disappointed.
