PLOT OUTLINE
An epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors.

MY CRITZ
The most ridiculous movie ever!!!!!!!!!!
I don’t like the chemistry between Amanda Peet and John Cusack; they have none.
I don’t like the predictable ending; everyone is saved at the end.
I just don’t like the storyline. Thank God for the cool special effects though.

This movie is basically telling you that if you’re not rich or born from a lucky sperm club, you’re screwed. Only if you have 1-billion EURO (yes, euro, not dollars, because by 2012 the dollar rate will worth nothing) you can save yourself from the end of the world. With that amount you can buy a room in the modern Noah’s Arc that was being built somewhere on top of the mountain in China. And if you don’t have 1-billion euro, you just died. Sorry looser!

After watching it, I came to this conclusion... I must marry a guy who is either a prince, a president’s son or a mafia with LOTS of money (note to self: must marry, not just be a girlfriend or engaged)… or I can turn myself to be a very very very smart geologist who discovers the earth’s core is unstable. But I must be an American geologist because if I’m just a regular smart geologist, the government could care-less about me. I’m a regular girly-girl, not that rich, very smart (but not a geologist) and only 5’1”. There goes my chance of surviving the end of the world folks… sad really… I might as well max out my credit card collect more shoes and bags, right?!

Aside from me disliking the movie, I do however like the special effects. It reminds me of Life After People, a special series from History Channel. Except in the movie it was exaggerated even more. If not for the special effect, I can guarantee you I’d fall asleep.

Please don’t have any expectation when watching this. Just enjoy the effects. That’s all. Don’t dig in too deep on the dialogs and the characters development; they certainly don’t care about that.
