Movie Reviews
I'm
a sucker for these kind of movies and can usually roll with it. I
really WANTED to like this more than I did. It was just…okay. Quote from
my son - "pretty typical disaster movie".
Interestingly enough,
I think the problem for me was that there wasn't enough going on
besides THE ROCK and his family. We really didn't have anyone else in
peril. If we weren't with THE ROCK, then we cut away to Paul Giamatti
speaking sincerely and worriedly about the safety of those affected "God
Help Them All" was a typical line for him.
This sense of "just
okay" also applies to the special effects of this film. I was acutely
aware of the green screen (specifically with the closeups of THE ROCK
and Carla Gugino in the grand finale), never a good thing for these
types of movies.
