Long story short, not great but not terrible either. Unlike most Asylum movies, it actually kind of tried a bit. There is an OK plot (slightly cliche for a disaster film however), but other than that it is significantly better than a regular Asylum disaster film (like say, 2012: Supernova). There are some good quotes and some of the things mentioned are actually scientifically accurate. For example, the size of the Megalodon, and the difference between a squid and an octopus. Though, of course, the movie itself is unrealistic. Some scenes are also a bit too fast paced for a movie like this. Some scenes are used over and over again. But they do not seem to be using much (if any) stock footage, which is a good plus. The CGI is not perfect, but considering what sometimes the Asylum has for CGI, this actually was not horrible. The acting is pretty good. For an Asylum movie, the acting actually is far greater than average. Also, spoiler alert but: The best moment was when an airplane was taken out of the sky by a shark. That was actually entertaining and somewhat epic. Generally, if you're looking for a not memorable but still somewhat entertaining film, this might work for you, if you are not too much of a judge. I can enjoy almost any kind of movie, so...

When I first heard of this movie being released, being a Roland Emmerich film, I did not expect something very good...boy, was I wrong! Though the film is insanely unrealistic, I don't think its worth questioning Hollywood sci-fi logic - its best to just enjoy it. The film was very creative, and it had some of the best looking (as Emmerich manages to do), most insane city destruction scenes I have ever seen. The part where the moon collides with a mountain is just like I imagined disasters in my childhood. There are also some very epic scenes in the film, like cars jumping from floating bits of Earth to an entire body of water lifting off the Earth. For a disaster movie, this has everything it needs to be fun to watch. Depending on who you are, if you are looking for an action-packed, high-quality-destruction adventure with a huge sci-fi twist, this film is for you.

It's not THAT bad in my opinion. It has some parts of it that are good, though the special effects could have done better with the use of, say, miniature props. The plot is OK. It looks like it really depends on what kind of person it is watching it. Though this was not the best film I ever watched, it had some perks: it had a better plot than 2012. Though, they could have put more effort into this film.
