I agree with the review I read on IMDB that said the film is cliched and illogical...but the special effects and catastrophe that happens in the first hour make it worth seeing. I also agree with them, however, that the last half just looks like a survival film...like Irwin Allen's "The Poseidon Adventure" or "The Towering Inferno". This is especially because any pretense at making the story plausible seems to have vanished! So, New York City has zero power and has been innundated with walls of water...so why are the cell phones and pay phones STILL working? And, only a couple days after,it's so cold and frozen that wolves are running about NYC eating folks?? Huh? It just seemed like after a while, the writers were tossing anything into the mix...and I'm surprised they didn't introduce aliens like the Great Gazoo or Uncle Martin!
So, my advice is to go ahead and watch this spectacle film if you'd like...especially if you have a big screen TV. But don't think any of this is well written. It abounds with scientific nonsense and silly, one-dimensional characters doing the most ridiculous things!
