Gilles_de_Rais Good catastrophe movie as far as these things go... santoposmoderno Esta SÍ es otra película apocalíptica de Hollywood. Efectos especiales cada vez más groseros. Con historias entremezcladas del presidente, el "experto" en algo y el gringo medio que con nervios de acero (y una suerte increíble) pasa a través de las más imposibles adversidades para finalmente salvarse de la destrucción total. (Y en el camino muere 1/2 mundo. Literalmente). Un filme que podría ser categorizada de pésimo por su predecibilidad pero que es salvada por los momentos de acción y FX mistermaddog Mostly entertaining but bad screenplay and bad acting makes it a really really bad movie. BUT, the only thing good about this is crazy radio guy Woody Harrelson's epic acting. thaklos This is a terrible film, rife with ridiculously ill-conceived characters, acting, and plot devices. That said, it is often awful in a humorous way, and I was not bored during my lengthy stay in the theatre. Calling it overlong would be an understatement, but at least Emmerich didn't shy away from destroying everything in sub par bouts of CGI madness. I couldn't believe, and I couldn't care, but snickering at this film was a privilege.
