Some good effects but basically stupid movie

Rating: Null/10 (17 October 2004)

Besides the unreal climate changes which we can forgive for an exciting movie there are other annoying scenes. Why throw in the kid with cancer? This added absolutely nothing to the story. And at the end where the Mexicans finally open their border to the US citizens when the president agrees to forgive all Latin American debt. Uh? Like there would be any debt anymore? Like there would be a United States anymore? Or a president? Or money for that matter? That was probably the sickest part of this whole dumb movie. Also a little fire made of books (why not the furniture?) kept people alive in an old non-airtight building in 150 degrees below zero? Oh, right, the average movie goer has a grade eight education.
