No they didn't. If I were to go back 30 years and explain the concept of this movie to Marty McFly, he's probably think it sounded awesome. At what point did crazy disaster movies with squillian dollar budgets become so boring?! This looks like the inverse of Twister.

That is what I got from it too, but I couldn't think of the proper wording. And Nick, if I had some slick editing skillz, I would have done it by now. I'm good with imagination, but not at providing the product. “Look at Cusack, he’s acting like this is a parody of disaster movies.” — bullet3

Tommy has a great idea, punch this thing up with some laugh tracks, and 2012 will be the comedy event of the year. My head hurts from rolling my eyes so much.

Look at Cusack, he's acting like this is a parody of disaster movies. This could be an incredibly fun movie.

Seriously...it needs a few laugh tracks in there. Girl: "Mommy, why is daddy so crazy?" (audience chuckles) Mother: "Finish your pancakes." (canned laughter) This will make the movie better.

Girl: “Mommy, why is daddy so crazy?”

(audience chuckles)

Mother: “Finish your pancakes.”

(canned laughter)

This will make the movie better.

Lot of shit going on that makes no sense what so ever. Honestly Roland Emmerich’s been getting worse as a "film" maker with every movie. I think I'll skip this and save it for a rental.
