the movie plays on all emotions, fear, anxiety,happiness and dispair. My wife and I viewed the movie and would definately tell our friends and family to go see this cinematic wonder. The special effects were brilliant and the story line holds you captive till the closing credits. The bigger impact it had on myself was the realization that if a total catastrophe were to occur that most of the human race would not be prepared to face the hard times and stress that would insue. I rate this with 5 stars for the complete viewing experience. Gap
