Avis à la une
There ARE a few things you have to overlook. For one, the bargain basement FX. It's also sort of weird to have virtually no extras, even in the normally crowded streets of Paris. The best way to watch this is to play the drinking game: every time someone falls down, you take a shot. You'll also enjoy hearing every Brit speaking with some unusual accent.
Definitely not worth the scorn it receives. See it if only to hear the geese story.
The majority of the plot & dialogue circles around the two adult/late teenage children running around the City of Lights (aka Paris), trying to get to a location where their father, played by Jeff Fahey, a former/retired US Air Force Officer & pilot, can 'rescue' them in time to board a NATO flight executing "Operation Down Under". The script could have been a bit better, but the acting from the two children was downright sad, poorly executed, and on the corny side. Given the number of times the son gets hit, falls over or is knocked down to the ground (at least five by my count) one would NOT expect him to be able to get up, let alone run. Some of the accidents & "encounters" with other minor characters seem forced and trite, but in a sense could BE reasonable given the overarching plot.
As one reviewer said, I've seen far worse films executed from the 1950's, 60's & 70's. Thankfully, this film is just under an hour and a half, and is bearable if you really want to waste the time doing something else while watching this. I don't normally like to pan films, however in the hands of a different screenwriter, director, and slightly better talent, this concept could turn out to be as good as or better than Armageddon or 2012.
Here's a drinking game for the movie: take a drink every time the brother or sister fall down. I think I counted 30+ times. This is my new favorite "Worst Movie Ever." Invite your friends over to watch this really campy movie.

- AnecdotesIn most of the scenes the extras used in the background are local Hungarian students.
- GaffesRyan has a giant hail stone blast him off his feet and when his sister helps him up there is no trace of any giant hail stones. Also unbelievable that she kicks one out of the air so it doesn't smash Ryan in the face.

Dr. Goldschein: Are these figures just preliminary?
Lacey: Yes, the eruption began only 15 minutes ago.
Dr. Goldschein: And yet, it's exactly as we predicted. 12 Kilometer high plumes, 2000 tons of ash per second, the multiple earthquakes. This is going to carry on for a few days. We'd better start revising the model. We'll need data from the other sites as well. Call the monitoring stations. I want facts before I call the authorities.
Lacey: You really think this is it?
Dr. Goldschein: If the data holds to the model, I think it is.
