A Major Disappointment

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

The only reason this movie got a 2 is I've actually seen worse. I love disaster movies. I really do. But if you can't figure out this movie is truly bad in the the first 5 minutes there's no hope for you. If you want high art stick to dramas. That's been my complaint for decades when it comes to reviews on action, sci-fi and even comedies from some reviewers. If you want to be entertained you need to be able to suspend disbelief. What will make those movies is story, acting, dialogue, and, in the case of sci-fi, special effects. In the first 5 minutes you know you won't be getting any of those factors in this movie.Despite there being actors in this movie I've truly enjoyed in other movies, you can tell immediately everybody is in this one is only there for a paycheck. I've sat through many a bad movie but only managed 20 minutes on this one before moving on. It speaks volumes when I pack it in 20 minutes in.

An epic saga of survival when humanity is threatened by rampaging seas rising after a gigantic tectonic shift in the earth. Gifted director Peter Geiger has brought this to the screen with vision and magnificent style, utilizing breathtaking special effects and incorporating stunning imagery. Geiger's inspired camera pans a vast landscape of devastation and roiling oceans, with never-ending vistas of a planet virtually drowning. Scientists and technicians build a awe-inspiring ark on which to save the DNA of life on Earth and to rebuild civilization in the future. The suspense and terror are intense and at times the plight of these survivors is overwhelming. A superb cast supports this first-class production, with Monica Keena, always reliable in every role, a particular standout in this film. An intelligent script, incredible science fiction adventure elements, and a prophetic message for our time, this is a motion picture of fantastic grandeur.

I can't help but wonder if this film, Super Cyclone, and 500MPH Storm were all made on the same weekend. All 3 of these disaster films are disasters. Everyone else comments on the acting, continuity, and bad SFX and CGI, but I have to speak to honeybees. Unreal. Thousands of Americans are beekeepers. There would be farms all over the states with rainproof hives. The entire continent had not yet been flooded - yet instead of just calling up a honey farm, Tess and company fly (and somehow land a huge ass plane on a rocky hill beside a CLIFF..?) to papier mache caves to try to find bees where no bees would every be? This movie is Painful. I haven't even finished watching it.

Wow,the worst movie I ever watched as far as I can remember. This one has nothing good. Even the Intro here on IMDb is wrong. It talks about a tectonic shift but its a storm front. I just wonder where the storm is drawing all the water from to flood the whole world, Mars maybe?They save DNA from honey bees and bees to save the world? What about cattle? And the storm grows exponentially, every day 200 miles ^^. They even flipped over science and physics. They build a ark out of concrete walls, nice ;) The only thing which was a little, but just a little bit, realistic, was the first couple minutes when the 4 people cruised around in the so called "Sahara Desert"...Don't watch it....
