  This is excellent choice all around: the movie (one of the best “natural disaster” genre choices), visually & for the sound. Surround was immersive coming from all channels, overhead heavy driven with lots of low end. HRD is a bonus. Digital copy & slipcover included.

  While I was cautioned against reviewing this particular disaster film, I still enjoyed most of this movie. This work employed a monstrous amount of CGI and visual effects to complete the disaster scenes. This was accompanied by very cliche acting scenes and a large amount of drama that catered to a very unlikely plot. The odds of the protagonists making it out of every situation with as little casualties as they had is mind boggling to me. The way that they portray the earthquake reactions is very alarming because the frequency of California’s earthquakes and their small seismic tremors leading to the world ending disaster is very confusing and misleading in the way that they didn’t portray the public outcry in a larger magnitude. The signs that the Earth was undergoing major environmental changes were there for everyone in California to see before the leading scientist had a chance to convince the president. The way that the ships were kept under such secrecy is very unbelievable to me but this movie was filmed in 2009 so they probably did not take into account how intrusive and widespread the internet is now. This movie just in general has a lot of inconsistencies and probably contributed to a lot of the hype around the media’s portrayal and public opinion surrounding the mayan calendar and their culture. There was a lot of drama throughout the film due to many family dynamics that helped add to the excitement of the disaster footage. For these disasters to seem feasible, a lot would have to go wrong within our environment very quickly to capture the public’s opinion and bring attention to possible explanations like the Sun’s neutrino emissions. Overall, this was a long and mostly entertaining movie with a lot of special effects and crazy scenes from a real life doomsday.
