September 16, 2009Advertised as an 'Intelligent' apocalyptic movie to challenge the more cartoonish versions like Armageddon etc. What they really meant is, they had a very little budget. It thinks its clever but it?s not. It?s not very good at all. I do like it when the wave hits the beach though!

November 19, 2009Less "realistic" than Armageddon, but more human, dramatic and focused in the psychology of the characters rather than in the special effects feasts.

November 7, 2009The perfect disaster flick with some mind-blowing scenes near the end and a great storyline. While it's a little dull here and there seeing as the 'good stuff' only happens at the end, there is some essential character building that needed to be done. The space quest was rather i...( read more)

November 10, 2006This is a great movie, even though it has a not so great ending. I havn't seen it for ages.
