Just also need to add that the FX sucked ass too. I just remembered that birds eye view of the BIG WAVE sweeping through NYC. You can see the cars being washed away before the wave even hits!!!!

Er, no, you can see cars getting pushed away by other cars and the debris that the wave is pushing before it. That overhead shot of the water rushing round the library is quite ace.

nononono.

In the bottom right hand corner of the screen there is a bunch of cars that just sweeps away before anything comes anywhere near it. is it obviously just an unfinished shot and they run out of time. It looks like the cars were preprogrammed to flush away while the water was on some sort of physics program and the two didnt quite synch up.

edit: the IMDB have noticed it too

Hellboy are the ones looking the most promising of those yet to be shown IMO.

Hellboy is the most meh film I have ever seen. A complete waist of time. If you want to watch it get the pirate version. It's not worth a £5 cinema ticket.

Agreed. But with 'waste' spelt right.

After the film finished, my wife saw someone in the toilets crying over "America being destroyed". Note, this was at a cinema in Redneck, TX.

I take back what I said about the stupidity of people in New York being a problem, and then apply it to everybody in the country.

I've seen worse, and there were some particularly memorable shots- not realistic, mind, but memorable all the same.

Definitely the two most annoying things apart from the gaping 'plot' holes were a] the wolves- absolutely fucking ridiculous. I was shaking my head for the full ten or so minutes they were on the screen. Plus, why would a zoo (or whatever it was) be keeping man-eating wolves?

Anyway, and b] that Jake whatshisface pisses me off. He reminds me of that smug, annoying little shit that did Spiderman. Teen films should be about their limit. You know, road trips and shagging easy college girls like Jennifer Love Hewitt. That sort of thing. 'Party down!'

Well about the Wolves, I guess they're not normally man-eaters but they had probably gone ages without food so were just after anything they could eat.

But even when they showed them in the cages earlier on, they looked pretty lairy.

I was more confused by how the wolves managed to survive all the water which everyone else seemed to fall victim to, and know exactly where people were.

Also, alot of survivors appeared on the rooftops at the end. I thought most of the glass windows in all of the skyscrapers were smashed thus making any high up building with massive holes in the sides impossible to survive in when the big frost 'wave' appeared. Yet somehow so many people did...

Oh well.

Re: Ice pick in glass

I thought it wasn't the glass it latched onto. I thought when he dug it into the snow, it slipped a bit and then snagged onto one of those struts or whatever they are called that they would have between the panes of glass.

As for the other survivors, I would imagine there are more then 6 people in New York who can figure out that fire = warm. I know people think they are all thick over there, but lets give them some credit.

I wondered how they would explain the sudden freezing in the movie. That turned out better than I expected.

At the end I couldn't help wondering about the guys on ISS. They are probably fucked. Shuttles and rockets and their facilities in US/Russia are probably not in a good state. Although I suppose the ESA facilities could be okay, being so far south. Maybe they could send a pod up on an Arriane. But I'm blatently overanalysing this situation so I'll stop now <_<

Well that was a thoroughly average waste of special effects! :lol:

Well, not totally. The destruction was nice, but the over-the-top Americanism and ridiculous unbelievable situations was almost a joke!

That bit where they're running away from the freezing floor and walls in the library... yeah, alright then!! Like, in order for it to be that frozen it'd have to be about minus 100 degrees, and yet they;re standing right in front of it and they're perfectly fine just so long as they're not touching the icey bits. Pfftt!!

And, when the president's assistant bloke comes in to tell him that Jack America has found his son..?! WOW, HE'S FOUND A SMALL GROUP OF SURVIVORS WHICH IS IMMENSELY IMPORTANT FOR ALL CONCERNED, EH?! BEST TELL THE PRESIDENT!!

Nonsense.

My two favourite bits about going to see that film.

Firstly, the journey to the cinema was really fun. Secondly - The I, Robot trailer. That looks like a true DO-NOT-THINK-HERE film, but with Will Smith as well.

PERFEK.

But even when they showed them in the cages earlier on, they looked pretty lairy.

All the caged animals were, 'twas due to the sudden and dramatic climatic shifts and the fact that animals are far more sensitive to such atmospheric alterations than us ( witness a load of cows sitting in the middle of a field before a thunderstorm ).

It was an enjoyable enough flick in a mindless fashion, they never really explained why the changes were happening so quickly apart from Scientists stroking their chins in a worried fashion and going 'but it shouldn't be this fast!'. I was just about ready to mark it up as a fairly useful cinema trip when the ending lapsed into full on edam factory levels of cheese - exchanged smiles between everyone in the helicopter, and people being picked up from building roofs despite the fact that if you peered closely there was no way up to 75% of those roofs.

If yer gonna analyse that deeply then we're all dead. All agriculture in the world is under masses of ice and the southern hemisphere where disease and starvation is rife, just doubled its population.

Mankind survived the last Ice age. I'm sure it will survive the one in the film too.

I've watched your back for 20 years. I'm not going to give up now

Cinema audience: Uh-oh. He's going to sacrifice himself at some point.

It wasn't terrible but it could be the dictionary definition of the word *meh*. I came out of the cinema thinking it wasn't bad, but in the space of about 3 hours proceeded to forget almost all of it. Special FX were fairly good. Acting was meh. Plot was largely noticeable by its absence.

Seemed like someone did a mock-up of a big wave, and they then tried to create a film around it.

And how come one log fire saved the kids in NY, but the guys in Scotland couldn't be bothered to set anything alight...
