Not much to think about

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2004)

As disasters go, not much to think about. Dad is smart, son is smart, girlfriend is smart (and pretty), they beat the odds, boy gets girl, dad saves son, Dick Cheney becomes President, Tsunami, twisters, ice, hail, floods, and the Weather Channel replaces CNN. All in all, good entertainment. Anything more than a paragraph or two on this movie is a paragraph too many. But, since the IMDb editors won't let me get away with six lines, I'll have to add more. Not a whole lot of depth in any of the characters. However, considering this is a disaster film, AND the special effects are supposed to take the lead AND the characters are supposed to be in a supporting role, (which they do extremely well), THEN the film accomplishes its mission - two hours of storm stories on the big screen.
