Thrilling

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2005)

I've read many of the comments here, and I will concede that the movie contains some logic flaws. Most annoying of these is that some electronics devices conveniently work after an EMP disables all others, because that flaw was tolerated by the film-makers to get some neat shots, or to simplify certain storytelling elements. However, I rate this movie very highly because it thrilled me. I've seen so many action movies that I sometimes miss the "wow" factor. This movie gripped me, and did not let go. I cared what was happening, and I was convinced of the peril. Also, the effects were seamless--they made the fantastic elements of the story more believable.
