Comments:

The first time i knew that the movie was a disaster movie, i rushly plot my time to watch in a theatre. I love disaster movies ^_^ and i saw almost all Rolland Emerich's film and fans of some like Independence day and The day after tomorrow. And from what i saw, it was great! I like the thrill, the action, the effects, they're just ok. But if i need more emotional scenes, i won't ask Cusack to play. I don't know if Jackson should be that plain, but he supposed to be more emotional, more happiness when you succed and more sad features when you lose.
It's nice and to see it in a wide screen is highly recommended ^_^

Fun Facts:

  • When the children are on the camping trip they are bitten by mosquitoes. Both have several fairly serious bite marks on their faces. However in the scene in which they return home (the following day) their faces appear unblemished.
  • Assuming that neutrinos have caused to heat the earth core, what was the cause of cooling it in such short time?
