Independence Day without the aliens

Rating: Null/10 (21 June 2004)

This disater flick is very comparable to Roland's 1996 blockbuster Independence Day. Corny. Unrealistic feel.
You have a guy who figures out what no one on the planet can (Goldbloom in ID, Quaid here). Those in power don't listen until it's too late.
In the President role they should have had Bill Pullman reprise his ID role.
In the midst of this disaster you have a teen romance between Bubble Boy and the cute girl from Mystic River.
The effects are really good in places. Really fakey in others. Especially those stupid wolves, who I'm sure were suggested by some idiot executive to give the characters more peril than just the weather.
