Cool!!!

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

The things I really liked were the special effects, I really loved the scene of the cleaner going up the hall and opening the door to see the city destroyed and then the camera panning back to show all the destruction.

The bit where the older guy fell through the snow and was hanging and the other guy was on that clear piece of ice which started cracking was very tense, the wolves I thought were so realistic (I'm probably the only one who did) but I was very impressed. The woman staying behind with the young cancer patient I found really touching.
The bit where they were running and the ice was freezing everything was very cool. At the start the waves crashing throughout NYC was so well done, I remember someone kind of toppling head over heels over a car which looked cool. The birds in the sky in that scene at the start was totally eerie, I really loved that the homeless guy and his dog survived, the homeless guy giving the doggy sausage when he had hardly any food for himself was totally sweet and lovely.
I liked that Jake (who looked totally cute even in the face of certain death) got the girl in the end, and I quite liked the guy wanting to save that book and the reasons he gave for it. I especially liked how you didn't have to sit through 45 minutes of character development before the action started which generally happens with disaster flicks, it had my attention right from the start and kept it the whole way throughout the film.

I give it two very enthusiastic thumbs up! 8/10
