One of the best for Special Effects

Rating: 8/10 (10 February 2007)

Where would filmmakers be without artistic license? New York is virtually under water yet everything's working-the electricity,computer screens,telephones.And everybody is being ordered to move South as if its just the next town! They get to Mexico believe it or not and suddenly there's the equivalent of a town in a Refugee Centre!How have they got there-there's no transport and for most people no money either it would have been lost with everything else Not only that but people are shown on skis or walking on the ice. But if logic and reality had been applied the film would have been quite boring. We saw what happened in New Orleans or the Tsunami or even Branscombe Beach-people go looting that's the reality.And its also a reality that there would be mass outbreaks of fighting and I don't mean with wolves. This in fact was a more realistic moment to introduce a pack of wolves as they would be well at home in this environment. But 8 out of 10-its a thoroughly entertaining film with wonderful special effects When the film's over it takes at least 10 minutes for the credits to roll up-an indication that a mighty lot of work was done just to make a disaster movie to entertain the masses.
