Exciting, annoying and stupid!

Rating: 4/10 (4 October 2005)

The special effects were terrific...but it's so cute the way so many people actually believe it's TRUE 'cause it happens in a movie! Sorry, but I don't feel guilty about driving a car, eating meat and living in a wooden house. It's all America's fault, didn't you know? It's all happened in the past four years! The preachy quality of this film was beyond irritating, and the science was lame. Sure, there's global warming...but cycles of the earth have been happening for millions of years. Ice Ages are the rule, not the exception. But taken on its own terms, this movie worked as an event, but not as true drama. There are so many quietly heroic and worthy souls (and should I add,interesting?) in this world, and they picked the most bor-ing! And the people who mention Canada and Australia and South America, etc. were right. No,we've got to pick a handful of the stupidest people on the planet. The girl was a freaking moron. She's about to be washed away by a New York tidal wave, but hey! Let me get that lady's purse out of the taxicab! Ooh, wait! We need yapping wolves! We need astronauts in orbit to look down on the planet and marvel about how clear it is now! Sure, 'cause like, their families are probably dead, but never mind! Earth is lookin' good! Ah, well. The hailstones were cool, though.
