Is there anything good about this movie. Some of it wasn't that bad. The Science behind the theme. But that is about it.
The parents are truly bad parents. How can you raise kids who become idiots at the peak of a disaster? The boy is semi useful but not until three quarters of the movie is done with. The girl should have just died. She was that bad. It is a wonder she didn't get her dad killed during all of her freeze ups and cries of "I'm scared." Seriously girl. Move it or lose it. People like this are going to die even if you have someone looking out for them. Very few young people are this helpless.
The Main Character. Her focus is all over the place. Save your family, no save as many people as possible. Go to the caves for safety, no go to the military base to go to the caves for safety. She ignores the Mayor's assistant when all of the disasters start to come and fails to alert her she should at least go to a military base if it gets worse. But during the movie she stops to help three people in the middle of an earthquake? She seems like she has common sense one minute than overwhelmed by emotions he next. It is hard to identify with her.
Her Husband. Really. Ex military and you didn't teach your kids to have a sense of survival skills? Your motto is never give up but that seems to be your kids first choice is to cover their head and hope for the best.
Brother... Your dependence on your mom is not healthy. You look like your a man but act like your 12. Did you not learn anything from your father?
Sister. My God she makes me want to throw up. I would have slapped her twelve times over. As you stand there doing nothing the lava, Lighting, floods and earthquakes are getting closer. What do you not understand here?
All of this is the writers fault. Human beings are meant to be survivors. While you are having the kids be weak for drama sake, you are frustrating your audience who want to see action from people not from the CGI. CGI is used to heighten the movie not be the movie.
At some point the kids are going to have survival mode kick in. I would wager is would have been much much sooner than this. Teens would have been on those streets in those cars of theirs racing to get out of the city. Traffic should have been featured in all of this. How can streets be empty at one point than you see only a few cars in the background? Where are the police and emergency services? Whoever wrote the screenplay on this shouldn't be allowed to ever write for another movie ever again.
