Modern disaster flick - fun, fun, fun!

Rating: 8/10 (23 April 2005)

While I will not try to argue for the validity of the science in this movie, I will argue that it is flat out good fun. It's gorgeously shot and compelling from start to finish.
The story follows a climatologist (Dennis Quaid) who finds signs of a massive climate shift resulting in huge changes in weather across the planet. The story then follows his search for his teen son, who is in NY City, with friends from high school, trying to survive the catastrophe.
Sure, some of the scenarios are implausible, but if you're looking for an extremely entertaining weekend rental, look no further, you've found your film.
