Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Linda Hamilton, Charles Hallahan, Jamie Rene
Running Time: 1h 48min
What starts off initially as an intense, captivating disaster waiting to happen, quickly turns into a disaster once the movie leaves its attempt at originality and turns the characters and situations into boring, cliched melodramatic foils. The two leads may have possibly pulled it off as they are both believable yet have that little bit of fantasy that creates movie magic. But then that gets covered in ash as the studio tries to make too much of that movie magic in easily contrived disaster scenes and destruction for the sake of filling the trailer with exciting images. It's too bad that the trailer was the only excitement as we move through rescue after rescue with no worries at all. Absolutely nothing new to offer here. Just a cute leading couple.
Grade: C
