A good watch, but don't expect Oscar material
If you want a couple of
hours of action-packed entertainment without having to concentrate on
plot and dialogue then this is the film to watch.
The action scenes are plentiful and the effects are great, but there is a bit of hammy acting, some implausible action scenes and it is all quite predictable, offering nothing new in the disaster movie genre. However, what is impressive is that it's all done on a massive scale, with the disaster stakes really ramped up.
It's not a classic, but for the most part does the disaster/action genre well and if you can live with the few gripes I mentioned above (which are only sporadic) then I'm sure you'll enjoy it as I did.
