    It looks like "Independance Day" minus the aliens.

    I've never dug disaster films, anyhow, so I'm taking a pass...
    Those aren't real problems, Sam.

    Yes, but is there a cheesy Eurofunk soundtrack? Only then would it be official.

    Man, I wasn't sure if this had already come out or not. I'm completely disinterested

    There's a time and a place for watching EPIC disaster, so I'm not about to snub it out-right.

    For what it is - a bunch of stuff exploding and falling over and everything being ridiculous, over the top and implausible - it looks like it does it well.

    Plus, as I've said a few times recently, anything with John Cusack in is worth seeing.

    Whether I'd be bothered to pay to see it in the cinema is another thing, although on a big screen with big sound would be best suited I'd have thought.

    I don't expect it to have a good story, or good characters though.

    Independence Day was rather enjoyable back in the day, but The Day After Tomorrow was generally pish. So if it's more the former than the latter, then that's a good thing.

    What we can all be sure of though, is it'll be better than 10,000 BC.
