this is an utterly awesome film ive been waiting ages for Lovefilm to send it to me and then I watched it last night and i was blown away by this masterpiece, directed by the same bloke who did independence day and the day after tomorrow so you know what sort of film were getting into here .
So this is a film about the sun going mental and doing something then the earth goes mental and all the plates start moving and then what we the viewers have is simply a movie of people of all types trying to survive. we have the family lead by a man who talked to a crazy bloke, we have the white house geologist who discovered it all, we have the worker in china who built something, and we have a rich Russian,
What I like
well part of me just wants to write the word everything, when I first saw that the film was 2 hours and 40 mins long i was shocked and though wow this could drag how wrong I was, I loved the visuals in this when you see building exploding and entire cities falling into the ocean, when they then switched to the Characters in the plane and looked down on what was happening it was pretty amazing.
I loved the plot and the story of this film and even though in 2 hours 40 of a film the film seemed to move pretty well and really felt like that it dragged at all which was a pleasant surprise, the plot is essentially one of the bog standard disaster movies but its done on such a huge scale that it makes your eyes bulge and draws your breath away at the sheer scale of what is happening some times you can really empathises with the characters. Also some of the cast part of the time i was watching it trying to think were I had scene half of the actors and i know dr phlox from enterprise was in it when ever i have seen that actor in anything he has always been some form of a doctor.
What I didn't like
well theres not that much to be honest with you however the one criticism that I can think of is towards the end of the film when everyone is trying to escape on the boat that sometimes as the viewer i found that i was getting lost a little bit as it all seemed to happen so suddenly.
Conclusion
I loved this film it was brilliant watch it, i went through a whole range of emotions while watching this and i love it, i am so tempted to leave the house right now and buy the blu-ray. also i am excited by a potential sequal 2013
