A stunning array of disaster scenes in which horrified parents and their children witness countless people being snuffed out while barely managing to escape death themselves each time. This movie is overlong, over ridiculous, and under written. If there is a moral, it's that we should be kind in our last days, even though I somehow doubt those who have actually planned for this disaster scenario would feel that way, should the event occur. To sum up, it's a fantasy in which presidential protocols are ignored, science is ignored, and a plot is ignored. What more could you expect from a Roland Emmerich movie? Stay home. Be with your kids, and try not to scare the s*** out of them by going to this mess.
