I really enjoyed watching this amateurish klutzy movie and noticing all the plot holes, contradictions and goofy acting.
Some of the highlights for me was every time there was an extreme weather event, it came "out of nowhere" and when it finished, it was suddenly a sunny day within a few minutes I enjoyed the teenage son, very excitable and dislikable. I just wanted to slap him and tell him to just play his game and stay out of the movie...
I liked how they had a totally revolutionary power generator in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico, Hundreds of miles from any power grid. And when they fired it up, using all 7 staff, they set it up like missile launch and went to full reactor power in two minutes. Why does it have a nuclear reactor? Why is it in the Gulf.... At the movie climax, our galactic space hero is again flying a helo, and he has two missiles available to fire from his rather cramped Bell/Robinson cockpit. The first one he nervously shoots into the sea before he knows what he's doing. Careful, cautions the military captain, we've only got one more and after that we've got nothing. (I was kind of hoping the second one would miss so then they would have to crash into it to put it out of action) Undetered, our hero fires again, this time destroying the tower that fires the energy beam. This makes sense, if the reactor core is melting down and about release so much radiation into the atmosphere that not even cockroaches will survive, just nuke it, blow it up. A nice calm sunny day ensues. Nice....
I liked how they kept going back to the same abandoned glassy factory for shelter and to perform miracles with their handheld GPS. Good choice to shelter in, and I almost got to understand the layout of the place, somewhere in New Mexico....
The tornadoes, lightning and tsunamis often seemed to be targeting them, trying to stomp them out. Our galant hero out-drove them with his family yelling at him to go faster, haha. When your in a horrendous rainstorm with car wrecks littering the road, drive faster!
Then at about the 3/4 mark I realised that the actors were having pauses like they were waiting for one another to say or do something to carry the story on. Did they not have scripts or direction to follow? Man, if I was trying to act in a movie like this, I would find that stressful. So well done to the actors for hanging in there. It must have been a long weekend....
All in all, very funny to watch, thank you.
