It bored me

It was crap - Day After Tomorrow was 100 times better

>I thought it was really good,

I think you are the only one that did.

IT WAS AWFUL.

Ask yourself, for example, why Robert Carlyle thought it was safer to jump into the Thames (which was a raging torrent) with that lady rather than stay on the huge solid structure that was the Thames barrier.

Also rather strange that Robert Carlyle hadnt seen his dad for about 10 years, but then meets him at the christening, and then happens to meet him AGAIN the same day at the Thames barrier. That it stretching things too far.

It was cliche ridden, and I think the actors must be ashamed they appeared in it.

They probably got a huge cheque waved in their faces which they could not turn down.

i suppose when you look at all the facts you are all right about the film, I just found it good coz it freeked me out a bit as I have a fear of drowning anyway (wouldnt even go on a ferry let alone a ship). I did think it was clever how they showed the flooding though, but when you analize all the facts you are all right there.

It started off well enough showing the flooding - but I would have liked to see more of the end result after they opened the floodgates.
It just ended very limply as a another 'got it right just in the nick of time' human story - not about the effects of the flood at all. Not very well done!

i have to agree with everyone else on this one.

i found it very poor and yes robert carlise's character meeting his dad, then later again........... then jumping off the barrier into the water and not only that................. he found himself a phone that works to ring up the HQ and he meets who on the end of the phone....................HIS DAD!!!

i gave it a good chance and watched it through to the end and couldn't believe it when it just finished?????

The only thing good about it were the effects.
