This is an awesome disaster flick!, that's very exciting,with incredible special effects and fantastic performances!. All the characters are just great, and the story is really cool as well!, plus all the characters are extremely likable, as you will be rooting for them to survive!. Some people complained that the 2nd half wasn't as good as the 1st, I have to disagree as I thought it was just as good!, plus Jake Gyllenhaal and Emmy Rossum had fantastic chemistry together. Yes some of the dialog is kind of hokey, however that's a minor thing, and the film is surprising and unpredictable throughout!, plus Dennis Quaid was surprisingly solid as the main lead. The opening is really cool and tense, and I thought the situation that all the characters were in kind of scary, plus one of my favorite moments in this film is when Gyllenhaal and the rest of the characters head to the library, to race against the tidal wave!. It's extremely well made, and I thought the ending was great, plus all you need to do to enjoy this movie is check your brain at the door!. This is an awesome disaster flick! that's very exciting, with incredible special effects and fantastic performances, and i say it's a must see!. The Direction is great!. Roland Emmerich does a great! job here, with wonderful camera work, awesome angles and lots of cool shots, plus he kept the film at a very fast pace!. The Acting is fantastic. Dennis Quaid is surprisingly solid as the main lead here, he is very likable, focused, intense, and even though he had some bad lines at times, and was wooden in certain parts, he still did a pretty solid job in my opinion i liked him. Jake Gyllenhaal is excellent here, he is very convincing likable, had great chemistry with Emmy Rossum, had a cool character, and was very resourceful!, I really liked him. Emmy Rossum is also excellent here, she is gorgeous,had very good chemistry with Gyllenhaal, and just did excellent with what she had to do she was great. Sela Ward is decent here and did what she had to do adequately. Ian Holm is good in his role and added class. Kenneth Welsh is pretty good as the vice president I liked him, even if his character was a bit of a dick at times. Rest of the cast do fine. Overall a must see!. **** out of 5
