June 5, 2007Probably the worst of the late 90s major disaster movies. The effects weren't great, and the execution of the story fell flat and didn't make scientific sense.

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The only pressing burden in this deep interior world is the question: What in or on Earth is a cast this good doing in a movie this ridiculous? full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
