I guess the good thing about it is that the plot and science is so absurd that many environmentalists are worried that the movie's political message will backfire.
I thought it was an amazingly bad movie. I think She was impressed by the special effects, as was my friend Bill. I thought even the special effects were a little cheesy. Bill told me that the special effects were great, and that's what people saw it for.
I don't think it was effective in bringing any kind of great morality to people. If the moralizing was the purpose of the film, it's a failure.
But it looks like a significant financial success no matter what your other thoughts, so I guess we're doomed ... to see a whole bunch of weather-related disaster movies in the near future.
