Chilling to the bone

Rating: 8/10 (7 November 2004)

Unfortunately, I missed watching the film when it was shown in the cinema, so I had to make do with the DVD. But, that was a chilling enough experience - especially as it was a cold and dreary November day! Although the plot is of course exaggerated, the basic message is clear enough and brought home with spectacular visual effects. The other thing I liked about the film is that the characters are people you can relate to: the scientist whose warnings are being ignored for far too long because the politicians don't want to hear them, the scientist's son and his friends who get caught in the chaos but keep their "cool" so to speak and therefore survive.
All in all a very good film to watch (but check the outside temperature before you do it ;-) !)
