Rubbish science, cliché after cliché and boring

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2004)

I thought this was about as bad as it could get for a disaster movie. Totally unbelievable science and even more unbelievable characters. The plot is very derivative and you struggle to find anything you have not seen better in many other movies. Narrow escapes you know must happen, nasty politicians and even the hero's estranged doctor wife who is - a child cancer specialist! This move has absolutely no dramatic tension and the cardboard cutouts they use for characters have been recycled from the worst of "made for TV" dramas. I suppose the photography and technical details are professionally done, but what a waste of talent. And congratulations to Mexico for allowing all of USA to live in a 5 star refugee camp on their land. Drivel with a capital D.
