This was one of the worst movies I had ever seen!
Generally, it was negative Global Warming propaganda run amuck - despite actual science!
Special effects were okay, but the plot didn't make much sense. So, the movie seemed preachy and stupid!
For example, in this 'modern-day' disaster, Global Warming was still a big problem - despite, in reality, there had not been Global Warming, for 7 years, already! (The film was made, in 2004, and Global Warming had stopped, in 1997.)
Even as of today (May 15, 2016), there has not been any Global Warming, for 19 years. So, why make this show?
Frankly, I suspect producers of costly and inefficient 'green' tech paid for this flick in order to scare gullible taxpayers into supporting corporate welfare - especially, for those producers.
So, suggested in the film, Global Warming caused, among other scary things, earth quakes. Yes. Earth quakes - despite, in reality, weather could never cause an earth quake.
In the story, Global Warming also gave wolves, in a zoo, super strength - enough to enable them to bite through their strong metal plus concrete pens and escape - despite weather could not give anyone super strength.
The film suffered from inconsistencies. While supposedly walking north, to NYC, for instance, characters walked passed the Statue of Liberty, from the east.
Another inconsistency occurred when NYC flooded, because, after a while, a large ship showed up, in the middle of place. There was no explanation as to why it was there. There was nobody on board. The engines were not working and there did not appear to be a water current. There were, for example, no other ships or floating debris, in sight. Also, initially, the vessel appeared to be wider than the street behind it. So, again, how did it get there and why?
And so on.
There was an interesting contrast with reality, though. At one point, American refugees tried to legally crossing America's border, into Mexico. Yet, the Mexican government closed the border. In response and not taking 'no', for an answer, though, American's then illegally crossed the border, in droves - which was opposite to today's real-life situation.
The DVD is not worth seeing.
