Hindsight

Wait for it on video or watch it for free. Nothing too fantastic, unless the idea of instant, deep-freeze will put you on the edge of your seat. I had the fortune of watching it for free (work/group noon outing).

It’s not a terrible film. But I thought about all that money spent on the visual effects and how all that money could have been distributed to produce other films that would have been more fantastic efforts. You know?

Epic disaster films and love stories together are hard to believe (especially on this film’s scale) and, well, I’m not really compelled. The greatest moment in this film is its opening - I’m a sucker for a good score and the opening orchestration was quite nice. I’ll have to hunt the track down.

Watch “Man on Fire” instead. Or maybe “Shrek 2″ (I finally saw the first one on DVD this week).
