Ugh.
Alright, so I like disaster movies. The Day After Tomorrow was fun and certainly rewatchable. But I'm not sure about this one. I might as well spoil it right now; as soon as they killed Gordon, I checked out. I was willing(unfortunately) to allow Sasha's death, but not Gordon's, and especially not in that way. :'( That was horrible. And why'd they have to do that in the first place? Because they wanted to keep "the family together"? WTF. Noah really liked Gordon, and seemed like he felt he could count on him better than Jackson. :| And why'd Tamara die, too? She was in the middle, why was there more water coming into her compartment and not the people's closer to the ramp? RAWR. So many pointless deaths. :|
But, the special effects were pretty awesome, plus the sounds. The limo/first getaway scene was freaking terrifying, but then again, I was shaking through a lot of the movie. It was so nerve-wracking. The acting was pretty good-- really, I didn't notice anything that took me out of the movie. BUT UGH. It was all thanks to Gordon that they got away! D:< And then Gordon and Sasha. They totally teased us with Sasha. :( Not funny at all.
The movie was a little long, actually, but I didn't really notice it 'cause there was so much going on. It took a while for the world to actually ruin itself. Obviously, my major problems with the movie are people dying/plot points, not actual filming. The trailer is still pretty insane, and it's great to see more of those points in the movie, though I guess it's not all an edge-of-your-seat movie. It certainly lagged in the Scientist parts...
So, except for checking out towards the end, I was okay with spending full-price to see this movie (well, dad spending...). Y'know, I think it would've made it more bearable after that if they'd killed Jackson... but she'd said "please" too many times for them to allow that. e___e
EDIT: Okay, so after thinking it over some more, I don't think it was actually that good. The plot was really lacking, and there were too many retarded "happy ending" things in them. Him going over the sinkhole in the camper, but oh wait, there's his hand! Oh, of course he can't drown, that'll ruin the whole reason why we killed off the boyfriend. And yeah, their plane can't get lost in the huge fire-cloud-- we're only an hour into this thing... e__e
But my favorite line is still "C'mon baby, lift your big ass for Sasha."
Fuck.
Yeah.
I totally want a Russian Pilot boyfriend. xD
And as a friend put it-- "Why were they auctioning off the tickets when they could've just paid for everything with credit?"
So now it's The Princess and the Frog, and Sherlock Holmes. C'mon, December!
