    calling him a star is a bit of a stretch to be fair!

    Great fun for me. I never pre-judge a movie before ive seem it, but when I finish watching it its only either, Did I enjoy that or not. And this one I did.

    Quality dumb Saturday night popcorn movie. Absolutely woeful but sure that's totally expected from this type of movie.


    My only gripe was the massive use of CGI, alot of which was terribly done. Very poor. Even in normal scenes it was used, like him driving in his motorbike into the hotel. Like why?

    Cliche after cliché after cliché. Really, really bad.

    I couldn't even find it entertaining as a "turn your brain off", some of the storylines were just terrible. Like the Black Friday footage supposed to be looting.

    I watched it last night, what were they thinking? the actors did a bang up job of not looking like they were regretting their life choices so kudos .

    so bad.. all the tropes from The Abyss, The Core and 2012... all rolled into one squidgy mess...

    but the scenes inside the moon were cool.

    Holy ****! It was bad. I watched it tonight. Apart from the obvious, it had "The first men in the moon" and "When world's collide" written all over it. So poor. Even my 14 year old daughter could see the holes and she see's the holes in ID and ID2. Emmerich is really a complete rip off merchant. All style and no substance. I loved ID but only because it was a spectacle in the Cinema.

    Maybe it was just the fact I had a few hours to myself today to watch something at home, but I really enjoyed that.

    Its stupidly silly, but it's been ages since I watched a Emmerich disaster film.

    The formula is the same, but I have soft spot for these kind of stories, and in particular, Emmerich, when he's more The Day After Tomorrow, and less ID2, which as someone rightly pointed out, was probably one of the worst tentpoles movies every made.

    I knew nothing about this when I turned it on. and just enjoyed the silliness of it all. I actually thought John Bradley did a decent job, as with Berry and Wilson. Intentionally or not, the film kept it on the right side of seriousness, never leaning into full parody and visually, it looks decent enough as well.

    I watched this yesterday and am delighted that I did. My favourite guilty pleasure is The Core so no surprise that I enjoyed it.

    It's terrible, oh so terrible, but it's on the right side of fun without falling completely to cheese.

    It's not as bland as ID2, brought to you by the soulless minions of orthodoxy.


    Much like The Core it's that cast which help. Fine it's not up there with The Core, seriously though look at that IMDB page, but Wilson, Berry, Bradley deliver enough to keep me engaged
