Better than a TV-movie...

Rating: 7/10 (29 May 2004)

...but only just. Good effects, lame and implausible story (and that's even ignoring the plausibility of the disaster itself). When will screenwriters learn ways of putting people in imminent danger that they actually have a chance of surviving? You can't outrun explosions, and you can't outrun 100ft waves, especially when you run towards them in a misguided attempt to save someone or stop and stare at them. And in a library full of wood paneling, books are the first thing you start burning to keep warm? Well, I can see starting with certain sections they mention ;-)
I will give it points for the handling of the romance part of the story --- just when you see it heading for the oh so predictable conflict, they pleasantly surprise you. But that's about the only original aspect.
Still, despite it's predictability and implausibility, it was still a watchable movie --- go see it at economy hour...
