Have you every found yourself refering to people who have their face buried in their cell phones as zombies? Stephen King took it a step further and made the cell phones turn them into killing monsters at a single pulse through the phone. As a middle school teacher this though terrifies me, I would never get out alive.

It is an interesting twist on the zombie/apocalyptic theme that seems to make a social commentary as well. The characters are typical Stephen King so they are developed but not complex. There is a certain amout of familiar predictability. I was quite disappointed by the ending though. Still it is a good beach read.

Spectacularly bad on the disaster movies front

Why is it that the Hollywood sign is the first to go in disaster films, and why is Hollywood always trying to kill everyone off?

If it isn't a solar flare, tectonic plate/crust shifts or the reversal of Gulf streams, it's the San Andreas fault opening up creating huge earthquakes.

This film unfortunately rates rather low on the apocalyptic films front. The story is lacking, the Rock is awful - just a big American knucklehead saving the day - and the dialogue consists of a word per scene. The CGI was disappointing, even the 1990s film Deep Impact had better graphics. And Kylie Minogue doesn't even make it. It can't get any worse.
