One of the worst movies I have seen

Rating: Null/10 (30 May 2004)

This movie was so horrible that it went from bad to good, like an Ed Wood film, back to bad again. The plot, the one that barely existed, was so poor that there was no care given to insure the movie had some basic logical or realistic qualities whatsoever. I will give the movie maker credit for making the previews look interesting. The content of the previews was the only interesting part of the movie. They should have released the film as a collection of natural disaster special effects and left it at that. The acting was passable but the plot, script and direction was so lacking that academy award performances by the whole cast could not make up for it. One thing that really struck me as being particularly disgraceful was the big time 'green house effect' preaching throughout the movie. Although I do not claim to know a lot about global warming or the green house effect it is a very bad practice to use a major motion picture to shove a particular point of view on the subject down our throats. I heard several people in the movie audience making "whatever" and "Oh God, give me a break" comments whenever the characters made one of their heavy handed global warning comments. Even the case the people behind this travesty tried to make about the dangers of global dependence on fossil fuels and global warming failed as they contradicted themselves several times when the star of the movie, Dennis Quaid, states that the fallout from global warming would be in 100 to 1000 years and then it happens days after he says it. His character also tried to make a link between the advent of another "ice age" 10,000 years since the last one as "our fault due to our polluting the environment but does not explain how an "ice age happened 10,000 years ago when mankind was not polluting the environment at all. In conclusion, this movie is a stupid, non logical, boring piece of political propagandist garbage
