This movie is dumb, not dumb fun, just dumb. Terrible dialogue, some laughably bad CGI, and worst of all it was just boring. There was a long stretch were there were no disasters. They really should of put more disasters and less people looking at computers trying to stop them. Maybe then it would of been some mindless fun.

I fucking loved it. don't watch the trailer, don't expect anything wow or amazing simply just watch this movie with a unbiased mind and enjoy . this movie serious deserves better

Definitely the worst movie of the year........ Or the best if you watch it for laughs, so so so bad it's good, I'll watch this annually to cheer me up.

It's a disaster alright. Genuinely bad movie, with dodgy special effects, dumb plotting, and terrible dialogue. Rewatch Deep Impact or 2012 instead - neither film are classics - but they have more to offer than this crapfest.

If you take this movie for what it is, an action / science fiction movie with emphasis on fiction, then it is, in my opinion, actually not too bad. The movie starts of with the usual suspects, a bunch of political asswipes setting off to create their, equally usual, clusterfuck firing the one competent person they actually needed to run the climate control project successfully. To make matters worse the entire project are about to be turned over to “the international community” which of course is a well known recipe for disaster. Hollywood lives in their usual dream world of course so they throw in suitable, old-fashioned, bad guy with the “correct” political views for a bad guy and with an outrageous and apocalyptic plan and we are all set. Let’s ignore all that crap and focus on the movie. Once that nonsense is out of the way what is left is a fairly entertaining science fiction disaster thriller movie. The special effects are not bad and the movie moves along at a decent pace. The “raison de etre” for this movie is the action and the special effects so the story and the acting is adequate and nothing more. Unfortunately, as is all too often the case, the story writer is a bit of a low watt bulb. This satellite network that is the foundation of the movie is fairly unrealistic even for a science fiction movie. Let’s forget about the total insanity in even trying to cover the planet in a network of satellites that are actually physically connected, the feats that these satellites achieve is just so far off the realism scale that is is annoying. What the heck are powering them? Anti-matter, black holes? This could have been done much better. Then we have the self destruct sequence that is playing a large part towards the end of the movie. What kind of fucking self destruct blows up a few bits and pieces for show and then pauses so the characters can run around for half an hour or so? Either the story writer is dumb as a door nail or he thinks the audience is that dumb. Anyway, the annoying parts aside, as a science fiction and fantasy geek this was a fairly entertaining movie for me.
