Don't watch it. It's [Poor language removed].

I won't spoil it for anyone, but do yourself a favour and avoid it like the plague.

Biggest pile of indulgence I have ever seen in a film.

Here's some advice, have a storyline.

 

[best little spaniard]

There's about 20 minutes in it, when everything's getting destroyed, that's alright


Apart from that, yeah, I agree

 

[Upper Sturry Sherbets]

I'll be quick, I don't believe I've even heard of this movie, until now.

it sounds a bit like '28 days later' from first thoughts.

or is it about the London Olympics, never mind.

 

[GhostOfDixie]

It's basically about the end of the world in conjunction with the end of the Mayan calendar.

But it's so full of bad cliches it's embarassing.

SPOILER ALERT - below in grey on grey. Highlight the content below for the spoiler.


There on a boat and the 2 cabaret singers are singing a song that it's not the end of the world, before it is.

The Queen is see with her 2 corgy's going to this ark thing.

Their is a Russian billionairre guy who is as bad an actor as I have ever seen on tv. Look and see how wide open his mouth is when he talks, and it's reaallly slooowww, staart engine - but imagine it's arny speaking but 5 times slower and dumber.

And at the end when they are saved, nobody cheers, but then when 1 person is seen to be alive, then everybody is happy. Be like **** that [Poor language removed], i'm alive now, i'm happy now. Don't care about anyone else.

It's just poor.

Effects are well made, but the actual plot, acting, and realism of the characters is [Poor language removed]. Oh and there's even a black president because that's what America is like now. It's almost like they are afraid to cast a white man in that role.

What else? err, oh yeah this man who has had 2 flying lessons is saving his family from certain horrific death by navigating a minefield of falling debris, trains flying in the air, building dropping, fire, water, etc....it was like the Milennium Falcon and that asteroid field. 2 lessons, it's just unrealistic to the point of shameful.

Which is a shame because the effects are good, and the concept is a good one, just really really poorly executed.

 

[Upper Sturry Sherbets]

it's just another Armageddon picture then.

I don't see how the world can end in all seriousness, I mean the planet is billions of years old now, so I can't see it ending any time soon, can you.

if it's been around that long, don't expect a demise this time next Tuesday week.

 

[Goat]

SFX super, storyline not so.

Well don't assume anything mate, and even if it was going to happen, the fact that mass panic would ensue from now until it did, would they tell you?

Yes.

 

[McBain]

Ummmm what were you expecting from Roland Emmerich????

Maybe something in the vein of the stylistic musings of Lars Von Trier?

An edgy, noir thriller from the mind of David Cronenberg?

I spent my $12 and was thoroughly satisfied with what I paid for. An overly silly film with imminent annihilation meters behind them and a ridiculous ending.

Ah well I just downloaded it from a DVD rip. TBH I knew what I was expecting hence why I never paid money for it.
