    The surprise is that it's one of the most exciting and enjoyable disaster epics to come out of Hollywood in some time.

    The similarities between this film and Michael Bay's overblown "Armageddon"are too numerous to ignore; the crucial difference is that this one is actually pretty good.

    Only Stanley Tucci seems aware of the drop-dead stupidity of the plot, and acts up a storm of high camp as the narcissistic scientist.

    I love this film. I don't care about the plot-holes and implausibility’s...it is action packed and pure entertainment.

    I somewhat enjoyed this movie. I'm not very picky when it comes to sci-fi movies, but I think this couldv'e done a lot better, and I've lost a lot of respect for these great actors after being in a mediocre movie such as this. I think this a so and so movie that was okay, but couldv'e been much better.… Expand

    The label of "science fiction" doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want and expect audiences to believe it.
