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.

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.

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.

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.
