Pseudoscience is Fun in Film
9 February 2021
Numerology is complete nonsense in real life, but I don't understand why people are holding Hollywood accountable for using it in a film about prophetic film? Even still this film was pretty disappointing for a disaster film, it was unique but there isn't nearly enough destruction as you would expect until the last 3 minutes of the film (not a spoiler there is a lot of destruction before it). I tried to be lenient on the CGI of the film but it looked cartoonish and unpolished in comparison to The Day After Tomorrow or 2012. The only reason I'm giving it a higher score is because Nicholas Cage gives a surprisingly good performance along with the child actors Chandler Canterbury and Lara Robinson who were surprisingly convincing it's a shame it had to be in a mediocre disaster movie. Rose Bryne wasn't half bad either.
