Yaaawn

Rating: Null/10 (6 December 2004)

Halfway through this film and before I nodded off for the third time, I realized why this film was so called. I felt as though I'd been watching it for that long. Special effects do not a film make (take note, George Lucas) and the same dull sequences seemed to come again and again. There was no juxtaposition between the characters and the ensuing apocalypse, meaning that the quest of the climatologist to find his son felt forced and emotionally lacking.
In short, a film laden with (pretty good, it has to be said) special effects doesn't cover up for a dreadful screenplay with the emotional depth of an Eminem song. Now onto Episode III.
