| The FX look good, but the, ahem, dramatic scenes seem right out of TV movie. I guess that confirms that Roland Emmerich, after 13 movies, still doesn't know how to direct a movie. Next time, he should let the FX people to do the entire film. |

It's the zillion dollar version of that Robot Chicken trailer for Michael Bay's Explosions.

Ya know, the parody trailer had the right attitude.
I'd like a disk of all the action scenes from all these kinda flicks. No 'Human drama', just the explosions mamm.

Here's the Onion's take on it.
Probably more prophetic then the movie will be.

I went to see it last weekend, and I have to admit... that... ehem... alright, I enjoyed it. It's not a good movie, naturally, it's packed with inconsistencies, contrivances and childish humour, but it does work much better than the previous Emmerich cheese fests like Godzilla or (shudders) 10,000.
The only thing missing from it is a nuclear explosion at the end. Or what the hell, a hidrogen bomb going off at the end. After all, it's the standard procedure when nature misbehaves, according to at least a dozen previous disaster movies. An earthquake? A meteor? The Earth core going reckless? A leaking faucet? Just nuke it. End of the problem. |

Slightly off topic but this whole Mayan the world will end in 2012 stuff annoys the hell out of me. First of all the Mayans said no such thing, all will happen will be that one of their long calendrical cycles will turn over. That's it. Even if they did have some sort of prophesy how the hell would they know? They certainly weren't able to predict the collapse of their own classical civilization so why would they be able to make predictions on events more than 1000 years in the future? I guess since those Nostadamus millenial prophesies fizzled out New Agers had to find something else to freak out about.

| The History Channel can't get enough of all this doomsday crap. Every other show is about either Nostradumbass, Biblical Legageddon prophecy, or the Mayans. |

| You don't expect them to earn a living doing programs about history, do you? I don't think that would attract as much audience. If they only accepted to change their name to something less misleading, such as "The bullsh*t channel"... |

In fairness, The History Channel does have some redeeming qualities. American Eats is just the kind of show that a history channel should be filled with: Stuff that you wouldn't learn a thing about in school. And Ax Men and Ice Road Truckers are genuinely good reality shows, because they folks on those shows are doing what they would be doing even if the cameras weren't there.
But everything else is either Mafia, black gangs, Hitler, or apocalypse rubbish. Enough already! |

Okay, I saw it this weekend. I'll agree with Neville's review. It's a popcorn flick.
