We’ve had more than our share of “omigawd the world’s gonna end ” movies and frankly, I didn’t expect much from this one and halfway through the ordeal, the remnants of my expectations were blown off right before my eyes. The movie kicks off with a run of the mill all american Bob and Sally family who’re divorced and blah blah blah. This is followed by a lot of cracks on the road, “The end is near, fear God signs ” and the main man Arnie going “theres nothing wrong” in true terminator style. The icing on the cake HAS to be Indian ‘astrophysicist’ TSUNAMI SATANAM and his pseudo firang “Samaan bandh lo, ham jaa rahe hai” accent.
As if the cliche wasn’t enough, the family HAS to go on a ‘camping trip’ to yellowstone park which turns out to be cordoned off by the government, where the family bumps into a renegade “the government is evil” hippie who ‘predicted it all’. Wow like we’ve never seen THAT before. Some ‘this is top secret sir, please move out’ , “I wanna pee daddy” and “the government is evil” later, the scene of a volcano erupting and grandpa hippie giving his last broadcast while there are rocks flying all around him is simply devoid of any hyme of reason.
Here begins the most intellectually redundant part of the movie. The ‘family’ gets back home and acting upon a tipoff given by grandpa hippie himself, the whole state of California and Vegas begins to ’sink’ into the earth and our heroes use the most sinister escape route ever- a CAR.
Near misses were always effective in creating a tense atmosphere in movies. But when you have about 120 of them time after time, the sequence becomes nothing short of a ROFLMAO fest!
The rest of the movie drags on and on and on and the world is a happier place and blah blah blah

Theres a lot more I’d like to add here but I’m kind of lazy now so Kapeesh!
