The movie doesn't really rate a thoughtful review, so I'll just give you some of my likes and dislikes. The first escape from the cascade of disasters was the best one. John Cusack driving the limo through a disintegrating LA. Managing to grab a plane and getting his ex's husband to fly it out was just fun to watch. Love John Cusack. Love Amanda Peet, although they didn't give her much to do. Oliver Platt plays a great bad guy and Chiwetel Ejiofor who plays a geologist is getting to be a great favorite of mine. There's some real subtlety in his acting that manages to come across even in this big loud movie. I also thought that the kids of John Cusack's character were real fully formed and well acted.
I loved the Russian pilot and really wished the Russian mistress would've lived. Loved the little bit of Buddha talk. I really wish they hadn't connected it up to the Mayan calendar stuff.
Okay let the derision and throwing of rotten tomatoes commence. I have the regulation headgear.
