A disappointment, Jun 15 2011

I love disaster films, even old ones, even bad ones, even bad old ones. This one though wasn't bad enough or cheesy enough to enjoy. It was just pathetic. It wasn't the WORST piece of garbage I've ever seen, those I won't even finish! I thought the special effects were OK - if it'd been say, 1990. For 2010 I expect more pizzazz and a lot more originality (and that was the GOOD part of the film).
The script was numbingly unoriginal, even predictable. Occasionally the dialog was too low to hear, and sometimes it was just read off woodenly, not always, but way too little feeling overall. Hello, Scriptwriter! Why'd you have those women stumble endlessly around in the desert? When they abandoned yet one more vehicle it was yawn-time.
I'm afraid I have never really thought about the criteria that makes a good actor, but I have the sense that it wasn't here. I think part of the fault lies with the director who should help bring out the very best performance of each actor.
Editing sucked. At points the scene switches to another place for no reason, with no explanation (but, to be fair, this happens often in films).
The Stepmother/stepdaughter relationship was so artificial, ewwwww.
The set used for the 'Military Base' was one of the few laughs in the film, walls looked like cardboard.
I can't think of a single moment that saves this movie that I'd want you to see. No Godzilla razing the city, no cow flying through the air, no cool costumes. Nothing.

I love disaster films but this film is a disaster! Bad acting, horrible script, low budget, cheesy CGI...why go on? Don't waste your time on this trash.

It was on ok movie, got tired of all the running off the road and crashing their cars. It was definitely a B movie, don't think I would recommend it to anyone.
