Nothing really "happens" in that movie

Rating: 3/10 (24 June 2008)

Alright.I just watched the movie and this was....bad. Ironically after finishing the movie I realized that I had been expecting all along something to 'happen' . But the happening didn't bring much excitement.
What I am disappointed with, is the potential of the idea brought in the story..pretty original, but not well explored.
The development was too linear, if not constant, and the viewer gets rapidly bored since nothing is really happening.
We are introduced to some kind of natural disaster, which never receives any explanation. Now, I understand that bringing the cause of the disaster is not itself a factor defining a good movie, yet you need to keep the viewer interested by another mean, but the deception here relies on the fact that there is nothing else in the movie, there are no ornaments accompanying the story. The viewer is just witnessing human reactions.
Now the problem is that it's not based on a thriller, nor on a science aspect, so one can obviously deduce that the main work should be concentrated on the actors and there emotions, but unfortunately this side was also a failure.
To resume : Good potential, great originality, but not well explored, boring dialogs, story is too linear and actors don't seem to be much involved in the disaster...
