What could have been an otherwise passable couple of hours in the hands of Joel Silver, is instead reducted to crumbs of atrocity thanks to it's unethused script, ridiculous looking CGI and terribly annoying onslaught of one-liners and black humour

Direct to cable garbage. It's part disaster movie, part action, a little romance, thriller..it tackles too many genre's to make any sense. The whole plot is so off the wall stupid, it can't be taken seriously. The acting is below average.
