Does everything a disaster movie is supposed to and more

Rating: Null/10 (1 June 2004)

There were moments of sadness, awe, and thrills.
I was surprised at the anger of right-wingers over this movie, and so went to see what was so offensive to them, and saw nothing.
Yeah, the actor was an almost look-a-like for Dick Cheney, but it wouldn't have made a difference who it was, they were going to get reamed for not taking the warnings seriously. This is a staple for ALL disaster movies. Someone always doesn't get it until it's too late.
But the real star of this movie was the weather. When the weather gets seriously gets out of control it is amazing and terrifying to see.
What do you do when there is no safe place to run? I mean, in the theater that I was in, everyone was screaming at the screen, once the danger started. What a ride.
And I loved how the movie moved from an overview of the situation, or a wide story, into a a more personal story.
That was as it should be as well. Overall, I thought it was a great movie that had a message we might need to start chewing on to find an answer to.
