Movies depicting the destruction of LA are always disappointing because I eventually have to go outside and witness that it is still there. =(

Kidding aside, I'll probably end up catching a matinee showing of this.

Disaster movie = script with little substance and over use of special effects.

Its a DVD movie for me not spending my £7 on a cinema ticket when "Harry Browns" at the cinema.

So I watched this last night (Free tickets ftw), its totally OTT, and as with Day after Tomorrow its science is sort of right, but on a movie timescale (ie 300000000 tmes faster than it would really occur).  But fuck me the effects are great, for an evenings entertainment were you can switch off your brain it totally does it for me.

Best part of the whole thing is Woody harrelsons character though ;)

As you said garry it is more suited to a dvd night with beers.

Almost went to watch this while working down in Bluewater on Tuesday night, but elected to watch episode 11 of Heroes season 4 and tool about in Lotro instead. Wireless in my hotel room ftw!

Doesn't sound like I missed a great deal.

So does the world just inexplicably end or does a many-armed Mayan blood god emerge from his thirty-eight thousand years of sleep and decide the rats have managed to take over the barn?

Basically earth heats up, earths crust shifts, lots of special effe - er environmental issues (the hippies wont like it as its not man caused) - and lots of people - except rich ones and the hero - die in hollywoods take on natural disasters.

Feh. You get so few opportunities in life to deploy a Mayan blood god.
