I actually paid money to see this at the cinema last night.

It should of been called Independance Day After Tomorrow. Roland Emmerich should be BANNED from making films and simply employed in CGI departments instead as there is no denying is talents in creating amazing effects.

There are so many things lifted from independance day in this shitty film.

The same "plane manages to take off just in time" scene"

The same "stupid woman hangs back to wait for her dog to catch up and manages to save it just in time" scene.

The same "Whitehouse gets destroyed in a symbolistic manner" scene.

And of course the puke inducing ending "whoooo yeah, lets all suck eachothers cocks we're the best" scene.

It could of been a fucking awesome film. But Emmerich has to take it too far and therefore too unbelievable.

For example, an amazing scene where the currently dormant supervolcano at Yellowstone collapses in on itself, creating a caldera, and a huge explosion. Visually this was the most stunning scene in the whole movie. It sounded superb too. I dont think anyone can top that scene for a long time. It truly is a breathtaking scene.

But no, for Emmerich that isnt good enough. It has to be even more stunning... so he thinks "I know... lets put John Cusack in a camper van, and lets have him being chased by the pyroclastic cloud, and lets have him OUTRUN it !!!" fucksakes!!

Roland Emmerich is the equivelant of a musician who doesnt know when to fucking stop, who has no idea about leaving space in a track. He's also a cunt as far as I'm concerned.

Thank you. read more of my film reviews in the Sunday Times this weekend.

yoooo wankah Jock!!... should have gone to see district9 instead.. or star trek.. both excellent (considering the era and both films' intended markets)

also... you didnt miss anything if you thought you should have gone to see 'Moon' either... it was rather dull (and i'm a huge sci-fi fan) .

dammit wheres charlie or silver droid when you need to vent a good slagging!

I had an idea for a script once. It's basically Jaws except when the guys in the boat are going after Jaws, they look around and there's an even bigger Jaws. The guys have to team up with Jaws to get Bigger Jaws.... I call it... Big Jaws!!!

My last girlfriend, a 24 year old in the Air Force, twisted my arm to read the Twilight books. There
were a lot of typos and some of the grammar was awkward but I have to admit they were very
romantic and touching.

As for 2012, there are a lot of people who believe the world is actually going to come to an end
because the Mayan calendar ends in 2012. I've got worse news for those people. The calendar in my
kitchen ends in 36 days and I haven't received a new one from my bank or liquor store. I'm thinking
my bank and liquor store know something prophetic I don't know. So I'm going to watch as many
episodes of Gilligan's Island as I can until the 1st of January. Hopefully I'll get that show out of my
system and die in peace.

The girl in Twilight is in high school. I actually really like girls like her and the way she looks in the
movie is the way I pictured her when I read the books. She's kind of clumsy, not your prom queen but
cute and more real.

it's alright, they didnt fuck the casting, it pays serious homage to the original, they have retained the star-trek humour between the main players, fx are superb (although i questioned why if they can break light-speed they are still using parachutes for air drops - you'll see) which is the only glaringly crap sci-fi blunder but makes the script work i spose to add-in a vital action scene

young spock is superbly cast as is Bones, simon pegg is the weakest for me, with his slightly overly-dippy scotty portrayal.

all in all tho, compared to recent offerings it's not bad.

Speaking of casting Bella in the movie Twilight was exactly as I pictured her when I read the book.
