    remember that he used to do that for a living, walk in snow... but, I like it how his friend passes out, but he manages to sustain the damage and even handle his friends dead weight...

    Yes, but he still walked from Philly to NY...in the worst blizzard ever...in 2 days...pulling someone on a sled behind him half the way.

    I saw it tonight. I was bored to death.

    Explain something to me....the part when half the US was trying to get across the border to Mexico, when Mexico closed it's borders and everyone was crossing the Rio Grande (sidenote...the Rio Grande was about 20 feet wide and two feet deep)....everyone in the theater thought that was a hilarious scene. Why?

    I work at a movie theater and the crowds seem to be half and half on this one as far as like/dislike. Funniest comment was from some older guy that said the only disaster was the actual movie itself. I don't have any desire to see this one.

    Happened here too. I assume people just think the notion of wanting to immigrate to Mexico is just so damn funny.

    I saw the movie. I knew it wasn't going to be good, but it's a guilty pleasure. I don't like disaster movies per say, but I love seeing kickass waves destoying ****. Which is why I also saw ****ty movies like deep impact and the perfect storm. Also why I can stay glued to discovery whenever they give a lil tsunami tease.

    It did get boring not too long after the water froze in NY. After that is shoulda became a bobsled pirate movie imo, that woulda kicked ass.

    It was a better movie than any of the ones StupidMoniker mentioned, though, that's not saying much.

    Bubbahotep woulda sucked the icestorm clean.

    Well, yeah that was still preposterous but he wasn't facing the Instant Death Supercold Air until he dumped the guy into that room and shut the door behind him.

    Meanwhile his son was show doing the same thing at the exact same time as he dragged his wolf-bitten friend into the library just ahead of the Instant Death Supercold Air.

    This begs the question, how could they both be in the eye of the storm simultaneously?

    If I remember correctly they said the eye was 50 miles wide and when the Dad and the guy he was dragging went into that building the Dad said they only had about 40 miles to walk. So it is possible that they were in the eye at the same time but I don't know.

    I do know that this movie was okay. I expected it to be better but for what it was supposed to be I guess it accomplished it. I still think ID4 was better.

    That's right, but I thought they talked about a vortex of sort that pulled the super-cold air down from the upper atmosphere. Seems like that air would have been more centrally located-- over New York City.

    Anyway, I thought the first half was interesting and the last half was boring.

    even if they eye was 100 miles,it cant hit both places at the same time.... It has to have hit NYC first then gone to the Wendy's..

    At one point, they said the eye was 50 miles across.

    Heading out now to check out this movie...

    I've been aching to see it since I first saw the trailer online several months back.

    The CGI alone seems worth my money. (And no I haven't read anyone's thoughts, to prevent spoilers)

    well then what about the chimney in the library... we never saw the smoke coming out of the chimney... that was unrealistic, unless it was blocked off, in which case they would have died due to some sort of smoke poisoning. How did the girl get the penicilin, did she just drink the bottle, we never saw the syringe. did the guy who was bit by the wolves get any penicilin? many questions left unanswered, and it was tooo unrealistic... the part about crossing over to mexico. Im sure down south in texas is as hot as Mexico, so the crossing border didnt really make that much of a difference in temperature, so why were they so eager to cross over.

    Way too many questions for a summer popcorn movie. I'd be asking these same questions if this was some sort of Oscar contender or something, but it's not.

    Holy hell.

    I wished I had stayed home and taken a nap.

    The CGI was nice, but ended WAY too early.

    I just came home watching it and I liked. It is what it is, a popcorn flick. Yea, you will some of the most unrealistic events happen, but hey, thats Hollywood.

    People suppodley crossing the border was hilarious to me. I KNOW the Rio Grande River is not that small. Plus I laughed because we always hear people crossing the border to Texas, but never hear people crossing to Mexico illegally.

    The biggest laugh of the movie for me was when the reporter said that Mexico agreed to let the Americans migrate in exchange for not to pay for debt. I was like one of 5 people in a packed theater laughing.
