The most fun I had with this movie was watching it with a friend who was familiar with the Los Angeles area and could point out the inconsistencies between locations as they perished onscreen. Oh, and Woody Harrelson turns in a briefly entertaining performance as a conspiracy nut with his own radio show. Otherwise this is little more than a relentless parade of epic action movie clichés. For example, we’re treated to not one, not two, but three extended sequences of airplanes taking off from unstable runways. Sure, the effects are impressive. But without a good story to string everything together, this is nothing more than an elaborate fireworks show. At least if the movie’s central thesis is correct we’ll only have to put up with crap like this for another two or three years. See if desperate
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
