Entertaining, but the message is lost

Rating: Null/10 (10 June 2004)

Unlike many, I enjoyed this movie and was on the edge of my seat for some of the exciting moments, and there were plenty of them. I would rate the film quite highly as a standard disaster flick, I enjoyed it very much, but when it comes the message it's obviously trying to convey, it fails miserably.
The reason for this failure is that the environmental-skeptics would not be won over by watching this. The science is inaccurate and the effects of global warming exaggerated to a level that is just not believable any more.

The director was taken a very valid and real concern, and in trying to raise awareness of it, has inadvertently made a mockery of it.
For a much better environmental message, but much more subtle, see 'Koyaanisqatsi'.
