fi stewart

At last a disaster movie where some people do get realistically injured and the fate of a town doesn't rely on a single person saving everyone via unbelievable means (as in other extreme weather movies). The weather scenes were believable and impressive. However, as one commentator pointed out, the groups of people the film followed did fit into current social niches - homosexuality, unmarried pregnancy, illegal migration, disability - probably outdating the film faster. And the outcome I found a bit Disney. But given the kind of weather disasters hitting the American east coast and the Caribbean islands it successfully communicates how terrifying and destructive these events must be for the populations affected.
