Okay. First off, this post contains spoilers, please only read it if you have watched the movie. I will only say this once.


******************************************************************** ********************************************************************


Okie dokie. In general, fairly good movie. Very good effects for the most part.
Just some things i wanted to point out. Me and my girlfriend were literally dying with laughter at some points hehe.

Okay.

Point 1:
Wolves? Come on, i don't think so. Unless you consider Donkey from Shrek 2 a realistic animation, I wouldn't call those Wolves so much as failed attempts at comedy!!

Point 2:
Umm, seriously, RUNNING AWAY from cold air?? You've GOT to be kidding. You can't RUN away from cold air! it would get cold everywhere, it wouldn't follow you!! hahahah running away from air.

Point 3:
"As a personal thank you to our third-world friends, we've decided to forgive all latin-american debt"
AHAHAHHAAHAHHAHHA!!!! Non americans will laugh at that.

Point 4:
Hey, it's an OPEN chimney, right? Otherwise all the smoke wouldn't go anywhere and they would all suffocate. But if it is an open chimney, why didn't the cold air come down the chimney and freeze them??

Point 5:
Okay, did he really just WALK all the way from Washington to New York? And, why exactly? Hey buddy, you're going to save your son? What are you going to do when you get there, SIGHT-SEE!?!?

Point 6:
hahaha. When the horribly unrealistic looking wound on the chicks leg is revealed, and the woman reads the ways they can cure her, but pauses at the third way, 70 out of 100 of the audience members whispering to their friends 'oooooo, amputation!'

Point 7:
The DIBBLE at the end, from the NEW president. First off, i wanted that guy to DIE. And what, the real president DIES IN A CHOPPER ACCIDENT WE DON'T EVEN SEE, gay, and HE BECOMES THE NEW PRES, gay, AND THAT SPEECH!!! gay.

Point 8:
Okay. The chick is running back to the cab to get the purse. What she somehow doesn't notice is a 80 foot high wave coming directly at her just up the road. Umm, what!? LOOK!!

Point 9:
hahah. The Polar Ice Shift breaks off, and the crack just HAPPENS to go right through their camp, whichs is in the middle of NOWHERE. What are the odds of that, one in a BILLION!???

More to come.
Good movie overall, but typical hollywood dribble.

The world has been destroyed so many times, that disaster type movies are recycled waste. This movie is no special and is full of cliche's..you can predict whats gonna next without even straining your head. The USP of the movie, like any other disaster flick are the special effects, and are pretty decent, but not extraodinary.
Even in terms of disaster flicks i wont rate this more than *1/2 out 5.

Even "The Core" was original in terms of concept. But its probably the worst disaster flick ever made. Hell, if you thought The day after tommorow had cliche's ...this movie is the grandaddy of them all!
What i said was my personal opinion...I agree the world might not have been destroyed in a way like it was shown, and the special effects were good( i did mention that)..but in terms of quality the movie was kind of a downer. It looked kinda campy too me. Again it was just my personal opinion...hell, I really like Armageddon, and alota people didnt like that movie too

yeah i wasn't a fan of Armageddon, and i saw the Core in cinemas and couldn't stop laughing at the sheer impossibilities of it.

I think we share the same overall feeling on TDAT, really. I LOVED the effects (except the wolves, oh god how terribly animated!!) and simply sat back and laughed and had a good time through the rest of the movie. it was the people taking it so damn seriously, coming out of the cinema saying stuff like 'you know that was written by a scientist who is trying to warn us that's whats gonna happen blah blah bloody blah' that i couldn't stand.

the first half was WELL worth my 10 canadian dollars i spent. the second half, well, i would have been happy to have just left the cinema then.

what a totally crap film

did you see it mickeyboy?

please share why you felt that way.
