less patriotisim & a better ending needed.
Honestly, I'm going to admit right now I liked most of the film. I'm currently studying Global warming and climate changes in an enviromental science: Global Science Issues and if it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't be as aware of the problems that are going on in our eco-systems. If it wasn't for this class, I wouldn't of watched this film (it was on a list for credit). I more than believe global warming is real. I honestly think I've seen enough evidence to prove that things are changing...they are changing fast and they are changing for the worse. The facts given in the beginning in the film were all things I had heard countless times in articles and research studies I'd used in class. The events that occur in this film, may be an over extention of the truth (I don't believe that much could happen in such a short time, but I believe it will happen over time)...But honestly, I don't think anything has terrfied me as much as the idea of things like this actually happening. The film was honestly in most cases great. I honestly loved the effects, i love what was taught and what was "learned", but what honestly annoyed me was the fact the whole film pretty much revolved around One man and his son. I mean yes, there were many times when the whole united states was involved, there were times when other nations were involved, but honestly the whole David Quaid - Jake Gyllenhall I'm going to walk from DC to New York to save you deal, was just unneccissary. I think there should of been more focus on the people of America, The people of europe, the people of asia...the people of the northern hemisphere...rather than just one man and his one son. This was about a WORLD CRISIS and the most important thing it seemed was the story of one man risking it all to save his son. I mean honestly, don't get me wrong. There have been quite a few risk it all-for-one type films that have been worth watching. But honestly, this shouldn't of been one of them. The focus of the film should of been more on the people [of the united states] as a whole, the people of the world as a whole ...I would of loved to of seen more of britain, more of europe, more of Asia survive than was shown...It seemed as though, they played it off as everyone in the northern hemisphere aside from half of america and Mexico were too unprepared to survive. That there were no survivors and they all froze to death. The film made these nations seem, as though they would of all together been unable to survive something like this...and only americans could previal. Then again, that's how most patrotic films go. Honestly, I give this film a 4 out of 5.
