    Disaster movies are hard to ruin for me. I know most people don't feel the same, but I really am a sucker for them.

    The scene where Grandma gets out of the boat into the acid lake and suffers terribly gave me nightmares for a long time. That's it.
  • November 18, 2009
    Mediocre at most considering the cast it had.
  • November 12, 2009
    An action movie full of explosive special effects.
