Typical disaster movie but with a conscience

Rating: 6/10 (29 May 2004)

This is a typical disaster movie very big on special effects but it does have one thing many movies like the Towering Inferno, Titanic, Armageddon, etc. did not have. It definitely has a conscience about environmental concerns. It does not really seem to offer any solutions about how we could stop the environmental damage that leads to the various disasters that wreck havoc in various cities in the US.
The special effects are well worth the price of a ticket and probably would be worth multiple viewings. The acting is about average but there is really not a whole lot actors can do in a typical disaster movie but run and scream from various calamities.
It does look like whoever decided which cities to demolish and how has some pent up problems especially with DC and the entertainment industry. These wild child antics are one of the most amusing portions of the movie in the way certain landmarks are dealt with in this disaster movie.
