***WARNING POSSIBLE SPOILERS***
This movie was the biggest crock I have ever seen. Of course what do you expect from Hollyweird? I'm sure they actually believe this crap too.
The thing I find most ironic is that in the movie they critisize the VP for not being educated enough in science to realize what is going on, but the movie it self is SOOO lacking in any scientific fact itself that it's not even funny. Really, the movie is so beyond stupid that it's past funny to the point of just being stupid again.
I mean come on, Vortexes that bring supercooled air down from the troposphere that are capable of dropping the temperature 10 degrees a second until it hits well below -150F, which instantly freezes anything
And then the wolves, that just happened to escape from the zoo, somehow find their way to the ship, that would have had WAY too much draft to float down that flooded street, that the main character's son is on and attack them. And the whole reason their even on the ship, that happened to float down the flooded street in front of the library where they are hiding out, is because "Sam's" love interest got cut on the leg, didn't tell anyone about it, got an infection and went unconcious and they needed to find medical supplies, which they thought might be ont he ship. Not to mention the fact that at first, when nobody could figure out why the chick had gone unconcious, the librarian simply happens across the right medical book, flips a few pages, and then is able to accurately diagnose the exact problem and cure for her illness. Really? It's that easy? Well, then why the hell do we need doctors! All you need to do is go down to the library and flipa few pages ina medical book and you can learn all you need to know about whatever is wrong with you and how to cure it! It's not like doctors go to years and years of medical school for nothing ya know...
And somehow no scientists happened to notice all of the polar ice caps melting in the first place and the desalinization of the sea water. MmmmmmHmmmmm....yep, they just missed that one I guess.
Oh, and don't forget the odds of the ice shelf just so happening to crack right underneith Dennis Quaid's camp at the beginning of the movie. And as if that weren't enough he's able to leap across an at least 10 yard wide crack with no running start, wearing full artic gear, grab several heavy metal tubes, and leap back across, still with full artic gear on and no running start. I don't know how many of you southerners here have ever been all geared up in cold weather clothing like that, but I doubt the olympic gold medalist long jumper could jump ten yards will all that gear on, even with a big running start. It really weighs you down and reduces your mobility, especially for things like jumping.
I could go on and on because the whole movie was so chocked full of absolute bullshit. Don't even get me started on all the "green house gases" and fossil fuel being the problem and causing the next ice age because the desalinization of the ocean's water caused an almost instant reversal on the ocean's currents...
Stupid, stupid, stupid movie...
What other stupid things did you notice?
