This is a popcorn film with a fact based concept, and that's all it is...

The ecological theme is not advanced with any subtlety, but so what? The film works with the broad brushstrokes appropriate to a popular entertainment.

High-strung, melodramatic hogwash steeped in a measure of scientific fact. Emmerich takes it as seriously as he can and his movie, as a result, delivers more provocative fun than you might expect.

Don't even get me started on the hilarity of the scene where a bunch of people outrun a blast of freezing air and close the doors on it.

this is one film viewers might want to put off until some time long, long after the day after tomorrow.

Like any other Emmerich movie, this one is loaded with humor, mostly unintentional.

This is the movie equivalent of trying to get someone to stop smoking by saying, 'Don't smoke, or you'll die instantly within 24 hours!'
