Well, it’s better than that turd 2012 and doesn’t use a scene of mass deaths for a moment of comedic relief, but that doesn’t mean I think it’s good.
I’ll let the ridiculous science pass. I’ve seen and enjoyed much worse.
Some scenes felt like the rehearsals. Sela Ward never came across as really being there. All her lines were deadpan and lacked any emotion. Even Quaid often looked distracted.
Some stupid choices by almost all the characters.
Walking all the way from wherever the hell you are to New York? Dumb! (Seriously where was he?! I thought he was in Washington DC, but suddenly they are near Philadelphia and later walking into NY from the coast?)
Anyway… leaving the apartment, dumb. Burning books instead of wood, VERY DUMB! Paper burns hot but burns FAST! You’re literally sitting on a wood chair while you throw books into a fire and it never occurs to you?!
A 5 out of 10 film if there ever was one. Just a stupid action film, but even the action is milquetoast.
