a warning for the future

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2005)

This movie certainly makes you think about what could happen in the future. Although the current disregard that humans seem to have for the environment certainly isn't helping the situation, the movie gives the impression that an ice age of this nature is inevitable and even though the filmmakers have said that they have sped up the timescale of the events, it will only be a matter of time before it happens and there's nothing we humans can do to stop it.
As is typical of a Roland Emerich movie, the effects are spectacular, sometimes at the cost of the characters but in this movie certainly that doesn't matter so much as it is a showcase for these effects.
The movie itself is well worth watching and is an enjoyable if somewhat ominous way to spend a few hours.
