Sucked camel nuts. I fell asleep in the middle of the movie. It was long and drawn out. About the only good thing that came out was the message it gave about the environment. I couldn't believe my ears coming out the theatre when viewers were talking about starting to recycle and the like. I didn't think it would have that effect on people. It is good that it woke some people up to environmental dangers we are facing and maybe facing in the future.
I saw it as well, movie was horrible, but did seem pretty crazy about how the enviorment could change like that.
Just got back 30 mins ago... It was OK, wasn't exactly all that. You would think someone would feel a little worse for all the people that died, but there was no sympathy felt throughout the movie. But the tornadoes/huricanes in LA were pretty sweeet.
Okay, I saw the 10 minutes 'preview' on FOX and don't plan on seeing the movie, but I do have to ask you idiots who actually paid to see this (no offense): How exactly in the hell did they draw out a love story about a movie that has a plot looser than street w****? I mean the world is facing 'evil' in the *shock* ENVIRONMENT! The only thing that looked interesting to me was that awesome CGI image of NY in snow, but alas, I'll save my $8 for more important things...like street whores. I was hoping the basis for a major environmental catastrophe wouldn't be based on Dumbass Quaid as a Dumbass Scientist who decides to drill in the middle of a 10 foot, bottomless pit 'fault line' that these 'scientists' never seemed to detect. Y'all may need to correct exactly what happened, but that's what I gathered. I was also hoping this 'rapid progression' would have had a 'flashback', actually the movie would've started sometime at least in the late 1800s or something where faux scientists discovered a 'problem' and then no one realized it until present day (even though global cooling to that effect would've killed everyone known to live and also would've taken place OVER THOUSANDS OF YEARS. Although I do give credit to the idiot writer who filled the gap in the plot in deciding how exacltly such an event could occur. The meeting probably went something like this: Executive Writer #1: So how exactly are we going to ruin the planet this time? Executive #2: Well, we could have the hydrogen in the sun explode. Exec1: Nah, not costly enough. Let's see, we've had a spawn of evil tornados and we've had Godzilla come to New York for no apparent reason. Exec2: I think he was trying to get 'freedom' from Ms. Liberty. Exec1: Well, who was that kid who saved the world then? Exec2: Matthew Broderick. Exec1: Wow, what were we on when we decided Ferris Bueller would get off his lazy ass and help humanity. Exec2: Ouch. You know he's married to Sarah Jessica Parker. Exec1: Really?!?!? How in the hell did that happen??? Exec2: She apparently thought he was Greg Maddux. And one more thing... How did the freezing over go from Inida to magically making it's way across the globe to the Atlantic Coast of NY??? And pelase don't tell me it was still 90 degrees or so below 'The Line'. Man, I think I'm an expert of this movie just from watching that preview.
I thought the movie was ok. The sicence theory was pretty interesting though. I was watching a documentary about ice on the national geographic the other night, and they mention the same theory about how global warming can cause a second ice age, and it's really convincing.
You don't watch many movies during the summer, do you? You can stop an alien invasion with an Apple computer, you know.
I don't watch many movies PERIOD. Thanks for noticing that though! But you can't stop an invasion with an original iMac. Man, those things SUCK!
the CGI looks fantastic, but the movie looks like crap. All the coverage it is getting on CNN, MSNBC etc. is sickening. (political movie?! please.....
It is a disaster movie. If you enjoyed any of: Twister Earthquake Deep Impact Armageddon Independence Day The Core or any other similar movie then you would probably like this one as well. If disaster movies aren't your thing, then skip it. I thought it definitely had its moments, and I was not pissed about my 6 bucks.
I saw it Friday afternoon. The first half was fun-- especially the Tornado Quintuplets Across Los Angeles. The second half was too predictable. I especially enjoyed the evil VP who was a ringer for Dick Cheney.
I want to go see this movie, I liked the other disaster movies, so this one should be ok for me. I go into some movies to be entertained and not looking for award winning acting. Like I saw both Walking Tall and The Rundown, to be entertained.
I was entertained, cuz i was laughing through out the movie, watch for the map scene, you will see what i mean, its in the "background" but its so obvious, you will see what i mean.
They sure did follow that formula right down to where the dog makes it at the end. Oh good. The dog... bc I... cared. It was cool seeing the kid from Donnie Darko. And Bilbo.
Tell me because I missed it, I fell asleep in the damn movie and I'm not paying more cash to go see it again.
Well they are holding this conference and in the "background" theres this map the guy draws on it to and says everyone south of that line needs to be evacuated, but 3 different times it cuts away so u dont see the map and when it is back on the screen the line is completely different then how it was drawn to begin with.
No, that happened only in the center of the eye when the super-cold air from the upper atmosphere was pulled down so fast it couldn't warm. It was cold, but the killing-suddenly cold was in a very limited position.
