After reading some of these responses I see a lot of people feel like I did. I was super geeked to see this movie, but it turned out to be a major meathead flick. Terrible acting, terrible dramatization, the story even sucked balls. I thought the action would clean it up, but it also failed. I was really disappointed in this flick.
@TheGodling hit the nail on the head with the Hitchcock quote. Those scenes just felt unfinished, and incomplete.
@street heat got it right too when he said there was no real sense of panic. Everybody was so poised while all this destruction was going on. So much wrong with this movie, I guess I'm just venting my disappointment. On to the next one I guess.
