A review of a good film

Rating: Null/10 (3 June 2004)

I thought this film was very enjoyable. Primarily a piece of entertainment, it never-the-less laid emphasis on an important topic that is accessible in a format that will register with those for whom a dry scientific text is off-putting.
The scientific basis of a number of aspects is sound as, unfortunately, are the portrayed attitudes of politicians. The film has great special effects and good acting. My family and I found it highly entertaining, quite tense in places and very realistic, very thought provoking. We liked the way our American cousins presented we Brits in a positive light which is unusual in the average blockbuster.
In terms of effect and scope this film easily matches 'Independence Day' and presents a serious environmental message. Very much worthwhile seeing.
