'Turd'? Not at all. It was well done...

...and highly entertaining. Johnson's acting was much better than I expected--and quite good--and the rest of the cast members were convincing. Special effects were high in quality and the story was good enough. It looked great on a 70X30-foot Panavision screen and sounded fabulous (if a bit too loud) with Dolby Atmos.

HIGHLY recommended for a summer popcorn movie. Probably I'll see it again.

I've walked out of probably two-dozen turds; this is NOT one of them.

OK a well done turd. Blackened Turdfish? Calling Irwin Allen: do you read me, over.... - Awe-d-o-file 15:55:49 06/02/15 (2)
I like Sci-Fi but ALL disaster movies full of special effects and loud noise are a total waste of time as I see it.

    I am sure it is. My point is it is a state of the art turd. Disaster movies have been and always will be a waste of time to me. Everyone here knows I like little of what Hollywood has to offer. When special effects are what a particular movie is known for it almost always has substandard everything else.

Even the geologists loved it. - free.ranger 13:20:51 05/31/15 (0)
Taken for what it is, its great. The computer is the star. CA-based seismic geologists had a hoot over it. I imagine structural engineers would to, but all I've known had android senses of humor. They would laugh if they got it.

I'm a civil engineer, so I get my fun from the structural types. And the electricals.
