I actually paid money to see this at the cinema last night.
It should of been called Independance Day After Tomorrow. Roland Emmerich should be BANNED from making films and simply employed in CGI departments instead as there is no denying is talents in creating amazing effects.
There are so many things lifted from independance day in this shitty film.
The same "plane manages to take off just in time" scene"
The same "stupid woman hangs back to wait for her dog to catch up and manages to save it just in time" scene.
The same "Whitehouse gets destroyed in a symbolistic manner" scene.
And of course the puke inducing ending "whoooo yeah, lets all suck eachothers cocks we're the best" scene.
It could of been a fucking awesome film. But Emmerich has to take it too far and therefore too unbelievable.
For example, an amazing scene where the currently dormant supervolcano at Yellowstone collapses in on itself, creating a caldera, and a huge explosion. Visually this was the most stunning scene in the whole movie. It sounded superb too. I dont think anyone can top that scene for a long time. It truly is a breathtaking scene.
But no, for Emmerich that isnt good enough. It has to be even more stunning... so he thinks "I know... lets put John Cusack in a camper van, and lets have him being chased by the pyroclastic cloud, and lets have him OUTRUN it !!!" fucksakes!!
Roland Emmerich is the equivelant of a musician who doesnt know when to fucking stop, who has no idea about leaving space in a track. He's also a cunt as far as I'm concerned.
Thank you. read more of my film reviews in the Sunday Times this weekend.
