Anyone for Tahiti?

Rating: 7/10 (13 October 2004)

ha, well, I gave this crazy new ice-age story a 7/10 for, mainly, the quality put into this film. The story was a little overdone, and I wish that we saw more of what might happen to different countries than our own. This director loves natural disasters and space...whatever relation those have together we never are sure of.
Dennis Quaid played an average guy (his specialty), who happened to work for the climate watch for the government, who is out to save his brainy kid (Jake Gyllenhaal) from the perils of the new ice-age coming to sweep what seems to be mostly New York.
A depressing and stark reality view of what might happen if New York keeps driving cars...no not really, but you can't help but feel guilty after seeing this. We really don't care if things get this bad like they are in this film, but apparently we're supposed to. Or else the Statue of Liberty gets it! I liked the music, some of the disaster scenes (some were completely predictable), and, again, the quality of the shots involving a lot of stuff happening at once. I DIDN'T like the wolf scene, the hum-drum characters and their reactions to everything, no buildup to anything (except getting away from that damn area), and the ending! The ending was just "poof" and everything seemed to be all better within the last 10 minutes! I was quite angry. Well whatever, 7/10.
