Review:

About what you'd expect from a crazy science-themed disaster movie with a moral. The plot was predictable, and just a little bit ridiculous. The dialogue was often lame, and the relationship between the two young people was without interest or drama. The special effects were fairly obvious, but might have seemed more realistic had we seen the movie on the big screen, as we perhaps should have. Still, I enjoyed it. - A

It was nice to see an orderly evacuation of the entire U.S. south of the Mason Dixon line, and it was reassuring to see FEMA people handing out supplies and food to the stricken populace - just like it would be in real life if anything terrible were to happen to the U.S. ... ... ... I like Dennis Quaid and I like Jake Gyllenhaal, and they're both fine. The movie is ridiculous, but it's not especially terrible. It's kind of fun to see the destruction, and yes, we really should have seen this on the big screen. - T
