...if so, what did you think?

I just got back from it. The movie was...ok. It was pretty much everything you would have expected based on the previews. Overall, it was fairly entertaining even though it was obvious the director of Independence Day made the movie.

Yep i saw it... i thought it was a good movie. Special effects were great, storyline was decent, and can't say anything negative about the actors/acting (movie was more about the events, rather than the people). Definitely worth the movie fee, and i wouldn't mind seeing it again. But i did wish the movie was longer and that it expanded on more of a storyline... this would have been an excellent book i'm sure.

I just saw it today. While it isn't going to win an academy award, it was definitely worth the price of admission. Movie was entertaining, kept you in the seat to see what was next, and the acting was pretty good.

Plus, Emmy Rossum (the one who played Laura Chapman) was hot, and is one day younger than me.

It was ok. Dumb scenes were when they hit a snow bank with the truck and they're like "oh well let's walk the rest now"... WTF? There was no visible damage to the truck from what I could see, and it didn't look stuck at all. Why didn't they just back out and continue driving?? Plus the wolves... and of course running away from the frost and closing the door on it. lol.

But it was ok :p

I see few movies in theater, but I want to see this one. I just like apocolyptic movies, and I know it's fantasy, but hopefully it will be ok :)

The movie is from a book that has been out a number of years. I read it some time ago. The book was ok, not great.

Was wondering the same thing. I saw a 5:30 PM showing where I was.

Because the temperature was dropping 10 degrees every second? Was the science behind the movie sound? LOLOL what movie is?

As for the wolves, yeah, i thought it was dumb too... i was expecting the wolves to attack people as they flee the city, that would have been much better i think.

Ive renamed this movie to "What happens when Will Smith isnt around to save the world"


Seriously, this is another movie that has lowered my IQ, though it didnt take as big a hit as it did when I saw Van Helsing. Was barely worth watching for the visuals, which were awesome. Especially the tornados in LA.

Yeah it was a ok movie. In my opinion it is similar to all the other "end of the world" type movies. It was a interesting movie.

What movies are those? The Day After sucked imo. Chains is the only good one i can think of.

I went and saw Kill Bill 2 again tonight for the third time.

my roommate never got a chance to see it, so we hit up a late night showing. I might go see Day After on Sunday, though. It looks dumb, but I want to see if my apartment comes out alright :p
