One of the best disaster movies ever

Rating: 8/10 (16 November 2004)

If nothing else, this movie is more believable than The Core. The casting was good. Dennis Quaid is cool in most of his movies. This is actually the first time I've seen Jake Gyllenhaal in a movie. I remember Emmy Rossum from that movie 'Genius' on the Disney Channel.
The CGI effects were incredible, although I thought they could've at least used real wolves at some point. Still, what's scarier than a 50-foot wall of water rushing down 5th Avenue?
Some people said that there was a weak plot. I didn't think the plot was weak. It's a movie about endurance. And I like how they showed the Statue of Liberty at the end of the movie. Sort of the reverse of 'Planet of the Apes.'
All in all, this was a great movie. 9/10.
