A lot of these reviews talk strangely about a lack of cliches in this film but there are plenty. The sick kid, the family separated and then desperately trying to get find each other again, the count down to the end of the world, all of these are there.
Some complain about the acting, but I thought it was okay. The pacing was also good which can be tricky, not too frenetic, but also not with long dull parts of people looking off meaningfully into the distance.
The worst part to me was the blistering stupidity of the two groups of people trying to steal the families wrist bands to get on a flight to safety. Equal stupidity goes to the family for not just handing them over. I would have thought that such high levels of idiocy didn't exist, or at least were astonishingly uncommon, however some of the things I see people believe these days has led me to reconsider.
I gave this a six out of 10 because it is easy to watch but doesn't really bear much thinking about and teaches very little.
