so bad

If I could give this movie a minus score, that would be generous. This is an awful movie. Terrible plot, terrible acting, terrible writing and terrible graphics. It tries to be "Twister", but fails, miserably. And what is with Darryl Hannah's face? She has had so much plastic surgery or something, she doesn't even resemble the Darryl we all know and dislike. Maybe that's her goal, I don't know, but watching her was PAINFUL! The whole movie is painful to watch. I think it was also trying to be a "global warming" warning, but they even screwed that up. As they said themselves in the movie, "the ice age eventually melted, and man wasn't even around then". Exactly. Global warming my aunt Fanny. This was just a terrible terrible mess of a movie. I am mad at myself for losing two hours to this horrible movie.
