Ratings and reviews

It is brainless, it is ridiculous, it has tons of moments when you think "this can't mathematically or physically happen in the real world", it has Will Smith (so bad actor) but it is fun. Good when you want to shut down your brain for a few hours...

Bought it less than US$1. It was stated as HD quality movie but to my dismay the visual was blotchy. I guess it was supposed to be viewed on a 4 inch screen. The story and plot were somewhat nothing to write home about it.

Very good movie. Good story, good acting also good visual effects but movies such titanic,which was released in that year has far better visual effects but still an AMAZING movie
