This film is Science Fiction. Let me repeat..SCIENC FICTION. I thought it was entertaining. However, I see other "critics" basing their opinions on the fact that this film was too fake, bad science. Seriously? Look, if you look for realism in film, stop watching film. If you look for realism in science fiction films then don't watch Alien (or it's sequels), Avatar, Terminator, Ghostbusters, 2010...in fact, stop watching science fiction movies all together. Read biographies. My opinion, this movie was entertaining. Nothing more. A good time waist like any other science fiction film. People have to stop looking into syfy for some deep meaning or realism otherwise it makes no sense to even watch them. They're not called science fact films people. It's about imagination.

All I can say is... WOW. I truly Hope Gerard Butler, Andy garcia, and Ed Harris were able to buy their additional vacation houses or pay off IRS with this CGI poopfest!! It reminded me of those cheesy 80's action flicks with the horrible one-liners, yet this lacked any of the charm. If you ARE going to watch this, I highly suggest watching it in a group, while you're all high, and straight Mystery's science Theather this thing!

And when I say good, I don't mean like excellent. But it's good, you should not be offended by it. I never watched this in the cinema, where I guess the movie might have impacted some people more than others. I don't even want to go near a comparisson with Jurassic Park (way better handled overall as a movie), but when it comes to story vs. technical achievements, there are similarities ... also when it comes to what you consider to help like a movie more or less.

Butler is doing his thing and everyone else tries their best, but there is not much there. Some technical talk that may or may not make sense (I didn't really pay attention), with just a smudge of social commentary (climate change and all that) ... the main point is the movie tries to entertain and achieves that to a certain degree. Not quality time, but if you're into it ...

I have been avoiding this movie because of the bad reviews, finally, I felt like a disaster movie and I actually really enjoyed it. Is it perfect? No. Is it the best disaster movie? No. Is it an enjoyable experience? Yes! The story holds up, their is action throughout, the actors are good and you shouldn't compare it to interstellar... it is what it is. A good sci fi disaster movie. It keeps you on your toes, special effects are really good, I guess this is the strength of this movie. Don't believe it deserves a 5.3 currently. At least a 6 in my opinion. On the lines of " The day after tomorrow". If you liked that I think you should enjoy this.

Man I thought this movie was great! Had tons of action and I enjoyed the story. Not sure why other users gave this such low ratings. I say give this movie a chance!
