KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

rooprect Ok first the good. The opening scene is cool. I mean, who doesn't want to see a pair of douchebaggy soccer fans get whipped against the Eiffel Tower like a couple of rag dolls? Who doesn't want to see a bunch of snotty French politicians get eaten by a 20ft laughing clown head? Who doesn't want to see the Eiffel Tower twisting around like that 90s dancing baby gif? 10 minutes into the flick I was on my 2nd bucket of popcorn.Next we get a surprisingly sober initiation to the basic plot, which is even more surprisingly credible and quite prophetic, given the fact that the 2005 writers predicted the 2017 Trump Administration's reversal of all environmental safeguards (so we can all keep our jobs as coal miners). The film's premise is just as much political intrigue as it is mayhem flick: corrupt politicians bury years of environmental science warning us of doomsday, until one day it reaches critical mass and we get an apocalyptic wave of storms (not unlike the ones we had 6 months ago but with more murderous clown heads).Gina Gershon makes a believable entrance as the new head of FEMA appointed mostly because the government needed a hot babe to do PR for the news cameras. She enters with an air of polite authority, yes a babe but intelligent and in control, actually a really good hero figure, dressed in a cool, conservative suit that makes the world as well as the audience take her seriously.Oh but pay close attention to her wardrobe as the plot peels away (pun intended). Yes I have graphed a direct, scientific correlation between Gina Gershon's plunging neck line and the plunging credibility of this flick. As it gets lower & lower, as costume choices get tighter & tighter, as buttons come unbuttonier & unbuttonier--to the point where I was waiting for Gina to yell at the cameraman "Hey my eyes are up here!"--the plot turns into a serious case of WTF. The timeline gets compressed harder than Gina's cleavage, where one minute you'll have someone getting killed in a raging tsunami and, literally, the next scene is that person's funeral in the warm glow of sunlight, then back to panicked storm chasing, some random terrorists, a perfect marriage falling apart, politicians getting attacked by murderous frogs, and a totally bizarre plot element about a guy getting his arm stuck in a pipe 200ft up in the air while trying to fix the motherboard on his computer.Did I miss anything? Probably. Because I was too damn distracted by Gina Gershon's neckline which is now down to her ankles.Also I was distracted, to the point of epileptic seizures, by the hyper stylized, rapid fire, plain bizarre edits in the film which in 20 years will either be hailed as the greatest cinematic innovation since film noir, or just plain stupid.But omg if you hadn't guessed, this movie is anything but boring. I mean, who doesn't want to see a trailer park get sucked into the sky as its residents scramble to rescue the plastic pink flamingoes from their doorsteps? Who doesn't want to see Tom Skerritt (Commander Dallas from the iconic scifi thriller "Alien") flying loop-de-loops in a $33 million SR-71 Blackbird... to save the world, you say? ...no, just to collect data which could've been more easily received by a weather satellite, except that weather satellites don't have the great Tom Skerritt flying loop-de-loops in them. Who doesn't want to see the great James Brolin (the dashing hero of "Capricorn One") doing the electric slide from the pulpit of a tv ministry? Who doesn't want to see, omg the best part, Randy Quaid playing the deathwish storm chaser from, I dunno Arkansas by the sound of his accent, basically a reprise of his hilarious role as the Winnebago guy in "Christmas Vacation"?So there you have it, this movie has everything. Sort of like a pineapple anchovy m&m pizza has everything. I don't know whether to rate this flick a zero or a gobjillion.

rodrig58 Film catastrophe(in both senses). The whole planet is devastated by mega-storms, hurricanes, tornadoes. All the characters, for 2 hours 49min, they fret and fuss, waiting for the end of the world. There are not missing some frogs and flies as biblical signs. To make matters worse, at the half of the movie, some villains kidnap a few young people, including the son of the main character, who tries to save the world, FEMA Director Judith Carr (Gina Gershon). The most sympathetic character is Tornado Tommy Dixon, played by the natural Randy Quaid. Other actors, including Robert Wagner, John Kapel, James Brolin, Swoosie Kurtz, Tom Skerritt and even Gina Gershon, all alike it seems they have a thick carrot stuck in their ass(I think they were aware of how bad is the script). So, it's really the end of the world? No, they changed their mind, just wanted to scare you again, like in all those catastrophic productions, they have a happy ending, as usual...

scottwallvashon This movie has everything you could ask for: pro environmentalist propaganda; anti religious cynicism; meaningless violence; defacement of patriotic symbols; erratic camera work that gave me a headache; every moment is a high point; countless has-been actors in cameo roles.I think this is another example of a completely synthetic production. They added up years of data taken from observing successful action films of the past and just sort of threw it all together. The nice thing is that it doesn't matter where you come into the movie or where you exit. It is so homogeneous that any portion is an action film unto itself.I realized after a while that it would make a good music video. When I turned off the sound and tuned the radio to a modern rock station, it actually worked. The commercials kind of messed that up. It would have been good to TiVo it and cut them out. Oh well, next time.

strange_yet_satisfying For some of you people who judge movies harsh, you need to go watch child: 666. I think that your rating would be great for that film or........home movie. That is honestly the only movie that deserves 1 star. You people need to lighten up. You guys poke at movies like crazy. This movie had 15 Million viewers. Not to bad. With quit amazing FX for a 15 million Dollar Budget. The destruction of Paris is an unforgettable disaster scene for all you disaster movie fans. Although some of the characters are a little far-fetched, this movie is an A C T I O N Film. They didn't spend Millions on a script. This movie gives you more and more. You cant watch a movie Called-Category 7: The End of the World and expect a Drama/Romance with a story to be loved. All I'm saying is ease up. Give this awesome movie a chance. You wont regret it. Its up for An emmy also. Its gotta be good. Give it Props.
