Fantastic graphics, big budget Hollywood film
This film is a guilty pleasure of mine when I'm desperate to watch an apocalyptic film. It's much more intelligent than your run of the mill brainless action movie given that it is based on Al Gore's book about the reversal of the Gulf Stream.

That being said, it is still a Hollywood big budget movie so don't expect intelligent dialogue or anything particularly well explained. The graphics are phenomenal and the moment the eye of the storm freezes everything in sight still gives me shivers down my spine.

Not bad for a sit back and contemplate the end of the world kind of film.

This film does exactly as it sets out to do. It's a pure over the top adrenalin rush almost from start to finish. Babes, bullets, blood, bad-ass characters and a Dodge charger. Think Crank meets Shoot 'em up with an almost comic book setting. I really enjoyed and found it an action packed film, that's tongue firmly in cheek. Add a cool car and the sexy Amber Heard and you get good popcorn entertainment, would have liked to have seen it in 3D! If you like wild wacky films that are just fun to watch check this out!

Book Favorite

"A brilliant insight into perhaps our greatest actor. I have read nearly every book about Brando but Mizruchi is the first to dissect his method and his talent in a way I have never seen anyone accomplish, including the subject himself. With access to archives never before shared by Brando’s estate, the reader will discover just how he managed to navigate the film industry as the first great actor to become a movie star. Fascinating, not only for people in the film industry, but for anyone who might be interested in this captivating, enigmatic and legendary performer."

I'm not sure what the movie studio was thinking releasing this film against Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse. Maybe it would have had a better chance released the first weekend of December, or maybe this next February.
I really liked the story, I haven't read the book at all so I have nothing to measure it against. The visual effects were pretty cool, and I was entertained most of the time.
I absolutely loved the female leads, and this film did not fail at the box office due to strong female leads, Hollywood.
Robert Sheehan was one of my favorites, though i kept calling this film Mortal Instruments... Since he was in that film and the villainous character was also named Valentine.
Sadly, I feel like this film fell victim to timing, and there is a chance it could become more successful upon Blu-Ray release, like Live, Die, Repeat: Edge of Tomorrow.

Wow! Just Wow!
I am always skeptical of movie adaptations. Most of the time, there are many things that do not hold up to the book and make the movie hard to watch. That was not the case with this movie! The writers and directors did an amazing job at staying as accurate to the book as possible. They really brought it to life. I was sobbing almost the entire movie because of how moving and powerful the acting was!
