Review:

Well, what can I say about this one. Unlike a lot of other people, I liked this one. Certainly, it's unrealistic. Some of the characters definitely come off as sterotypical, one-dimensional characters. But they are all played well. Bruce Willis doesn't seem to have as much depth as he did in the Die Hard series. But this film isn't about the acting, it's just a simple action/disaster film, and there it succeeds. The special effects are great, and make up for the lack of acting.

My Rating:
8/10
