Most reviewers don't get the low-budget disaster movie genre: terrible screenwriting, absurd dialogue, laughable effects and shockingly poor acting are a feature, not a bug. If you're expecting to care about any of the characters you're mistaking this for a screenplay. Of course it makes no real sense, lame stereotypical shallow characters speak at one another in wooden, poorly timed silly exposition; inexplicably emotional damp squibs that build to nothing, aparently fearful of some terrible demise from falling polystyrene and 90s CGI so bad it would make your eyes bleed.

If you're not crying with laughter at the utter bilge of it, then you're in totally the wrong mindset (maybe you're not on your 5th beer yet?) It's genuinely HARD to make dross this bad. A solid 4 out of 10 for making me laugh so much, without being a real film of course.

Which says IMDB rating = 4.8

This is a -4.8

We love movies where California gets trashed however the writers, directors and actors in thus Turkey deserve relegation to the fissures in the ground.

The quote (directly from the movie) should tell you everything you need to know.

I can't decide what made me laugh more, the acting, the effects, or the scene where the father and son are going down the mountain in the tent. The kid is "trapped" in a sleeping bag with his head and shoulders poking out of the top, the tent rolled down the mountain for like 2 minutes, and the dad casually opens the flap as they're moving (as if they are inside a mountain lift or something), only to lead up to the son and dad hanging on the side of the mountain arguing about how the dad is going through a midlife crisis. This movie is just horrible and all over the place. Please don't waste your time. You're better off watching Geostorm two times in a row.
