Spoiler warning!!

This film was abit misleading I discovered at the end, I thought everyone was gonna leave the earth in a spacecraft for deep space, it turns out it was just an ark to sail on the ocean, strange seeing how you are lead to believe the earth is gonna virtually implode. It then turns out it will be all OK in the end and return to normal!! haha kinda silly as I'm sure the earth wouldn't recover from the kind of destruction that occurs in the film, I could be wrong.

Despite this I actually liked this film alot, yep that's right, I'm going against the crowd with this one.

The film is actually very tense and really harrowing in many places, I really got behind the cast as they battle to stay alive and run from impending doom in the form of huge erupting canyons and massive tidal waves. There are tonnes of quite scary and depressing images and scenes of mass human death as the world falls apart, I have to admit it does make you think and sweat haha its very realistic, very impressive looking and you have to be very very strong (or emotionless) not to become upset and maybe even feel a lump in your throat as millions perish. When various characters start to ring their parents and say goodbye as the end nears you just can't help but feel your eyes well up alittle, you just can't help it, its human nature, and this is the grip the film (and others of the same genre) has on you, its easy.

The cast is very basic here to be honest, Cusack is reasonable, Platt is actually OK and Glover is a good President but the rest are the typical cliched disaster movie breed. The whole movie is one long repeated cliche really, its been done so many times before now with almost every kind of natural event possible, the only difference is the effects get better each time which makes for a more terrifying experience.

I guess the thing that hits home here is the fact that this could happen and probably will happen at some point in our human history, its a scary notion. This is why these films do well, morbid curiosity, people don't really wanna know what would happen but you have to watch and see and I'm sure what the film depicts is probably quite accurate :(

Another 80's teen classic with an early line up of future stars but this one isn't too interesting really, actually its kinda dull, yes I know its a love story but I think the two leads make it dull really, maybe if it had been Molly Ringwald.
Usual setup of school weirdo going out and winning the heart of a popular girl, breaking up then getting back together again, popular stuff in the 80's haha the only thing of interest in here though is finding the little cameos by Eric Stolz, Jeremy Piven, Joan Cusack and Dan Castellaneta.

The predator is the greatest alien created, Stan Winston is a genius. The best 80's, adrenaline, testosterone, muscle filled action man flick ever, offical. THE BEST :)

Another Stan Winston creation with Cameron direction, genius. State of the badass art, this film rocks on every level, the only downer for me is the fact that you never really saw hords of aliens, some would say its more powerful that way but I think it would have been more tense and savage. Its still the perfect film with the perfect cast, I dont even really need to go on about it, awesome sequel.
