Look, the movie was alright, acting was adequate - from most characters. Others felt 2 dimentional or were so predictable that I wanted to reach through the TV just to slap em. That all said, I'm an avid natural disaster movie watcher. Science wise this movie just did not add up. Why would the daughter survive but the son not when they are in the same situation? It's moments like this that made me cry out in frustration at the fakeness of it all. If you enjoy action with no thought to the reality of it all, then watch this. If you prefer your sci-fi movies to be written off grains of truth, it's not for you.
