Two Words:

… RABIDWOLVES!!!!11111one.

I am fairly certain they put all of their budget into the weather stuff, because half-way through the movie, when things are going rather well, suddenly there are RABIDWOLVES!!!!!11111one, that resemble something whipped up for a 1998 episode of ‘The Adventures of Sinbad’.

Nonetheless, still an entertaining movie.

I read a review of this film before seeing it that described the movie as “bad in a way only $150 million dollar can be bad,” and I’d have to agree. Far fetched, at times outlandish, but I enjoyed looking at Jake Gyllenhall, even if he made the bad decision of burning books instead of all those hardwood tables and chairs in the library. I mean really – paper over wood? Give me a break! Still, in the end, it was a great mind-numbing way to pass a couple of hours. I was definitely entertained.

At least I can understand now those who think books are good only for making a fire.

And it made me more aware of the harm we are doing to the Earth. And the ‘possible’ consequences of it. It made me realize ‘possible’ does not mean ‘unreal’. It’s our decision what’s the future of our planet…

The script was dire, the acting was rubbish and it got to the point where I found myself not caring about who lived or died…
