If this was made with any other intention other than to be a parody of all disaster movies, then damn it fails big time and deserves all the negativity it gets, from the bad acting, the ludicrous assumptions, timing framing issues, bad CGI, the story itself BUT as a parody movie it's brilliant, fun, stupid, laughable and indeed it does makes you laugh and all in all it's a damn good rip roaring film. Turn your brain off. Do not analyse, do not be a nerd, geek, whatever, sit back and treat this movie as the parody of all parodies of past disaster movies and you'll enjoy it. Large soda and popcorn. Brilliant.
