Everyone wants to be a Critic

Rating: 7/10 (30 May 2004)

Visual effects were excellent. People will say the plot wasn't great, but to make a plot work right it has to be executed right. The plot wasn't anything special, but it was done well and Dennis Quad and Jake Gyllanhal are believable most of the time and good actors all together. The subplots themselves (Girl was hurt, needed medicine, some of the guys had to get it and there were some wolves chasing them and The mother in the hospital with the child who needed an ambulance to be rescued, views of space of the storm, and the whole love story) weren't masterpieces, but they were somewhat interesting, different, and added tension and emotion. The overall point was good too,there was a good dose of satire, and if you like looking for themes and what things symbolize you should like this movie in many ways (esp. the ending)There was plenty of visual effects and disaster shots if that all your looking for.
The only problem i had with this movie is 99 percent of the damage you see happens in the US, esp. NY, and i think they should have tried to see damage done too other parts of the world too (someone else mentioned that NY has been trashed enough)
7/10
