Inaccuracies and plot holes cover this film like a glacier

Rating: 4/10 (29 May 2004)

I'll have to admit, I sat through the whole 2 hours without falling asleep. It kept my attention, which is what disaster movies are all supposed to do, and many fail.
However, that said, I also must confess that I thought this film was a disaster itself. There were far too many plot holes and inaccuracies to be convincing.
Ok, I realize that it's not real science. But couldn't they at least take the time to make ocean currents flow in the right direction on the animated map?
And, come on now. Would a climatologist who knows the dangers of this huge blizzard hurricane risk not only himself but two of his best friends to go in search of his son? What did he expect to do after he found him? And I don't believe for one minute they actually walked from Pennsylvania to NYC in the worst blizzard in human history and got there in just a couple of days without so much as a frost bite.
The special effects were pretty good. But, overall, it was totally unbelievable. I gave it a 4.
