Goofs

In the beginning, they show that giant cracks have opened up beneath the Black Sea, and all the water has drained into them. The government man says that they were able to dam the Bosporos Strait to stop the Mediterranean Sea from draining into the cracks. The smallest width of the Bosporus is a little over 3/8 of a mile (704 m). It would take months of continuous work to dam this Strait. But it is implied that this was done in a couple of days.

User Reviews

Very interesting

Surprisingly interesting. Subject is very actual and overused in many movies but this one brings a different twist to the "end-of-the-world" franchise.

This is not like the Hollywood product-placement films, it actually has content, action, some real pieces of spirituality inserted here and there discreetly, otherwise the fanatics would raise their bible! A great movie. To the opposite of some reviewers, I'm not into the already chewed up flicks from Hollywood and such so my review is not based on how much sex, drugs, loud music, barely hidden publicity, and how many corporates names are inserted in the movie, it's about the IMAGINATION (unknown to the Hollywood crowd!) Don't be biased by the Hollywood lover, this is a very good movie and deserves more than it has.
