The result is a first-rate B-picture, and a timely reminder of the delights of well-crafted popcorn thrills. Go to Full Review

4/5
Butler's best star vehicle in years, what could have been a bombastic bunch of boulders is, instead, a refreshingly clear-eyed and compelling affair. One of the best disaster movies in years. Go to Full Review

4/5
If it separates itself from more generic fare, it's because it focuses on a particular family and not on ten thousand different characters, and because it places great emphasis on the emotional tragedy they find themselves in. [Full review in Spanish]. Go to Full Review

This disaster film is contrived and nonsensical with very few redeeming features. Go to Full Review

Brian D @Brianwd 7h 63% — 1/19/26 Pretty mediocre overall. I liked the concept, but it never really clicked for me. It felt like a smaller, less exciting version of 2012—and 2012 wasn’t exactly great to begin with, though it was definitely more fun than this. The son is kind of a dud, and the whole subplot with random people kidnapping him was wild in a not-great way. I also didn’t love the late reveal that Gerard Butler’s character cheated and then just moved back in. Watching the couple reunite and work together was enjoyable, but that twist undercuts the emotional weight of their relationship. Still entertaining enough that I wouldn’t mind revisiting it. 2.5/5 rewatch. See more Franklin H. @mistermcq 2d A bit long in places, but I really enjoyed it overall. I love post-apocalyptic, end-of-the-world movies—always a fun ride! 🍿🔥🌎 See more Geo @Geodetic 2d Awesome doomsday flic. Wish there were more of this genre and quality. See more clotilde m @cloemuss 3d I think my biggest problem with this movie is the fact that it’s unrealistic in the worst ways yet realistic in the worst ways. Like we managed to miraculously float to England after running out of gas in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, but the MC has to get shot moments before arriving at the safe place?? The first movie was great because if you’re not going to be realistic, fine, then at least give me an exciting movie with a decent resolution. In this one, I felt like crying half the time because everyone kept dying. I get that the death was supposed to be symbolic, but after the main characters managed to survive multiple earthquakes, a tsunami, comet fragments flying right over their heads, shootings, war zones, and crossing a canyon (in the midst of a small earthquake) with only a rope and a ladder, I would expect them to be able to make it the 100 more feet to the safe place to get medical care before collapsing and dying. See more Sean H @sdfharkin 3d I take it that the character John Garrity gets the Golden Ticket for being an architect. Okay I can live with that. He seems to be estranged from his wife, but the no real discussion as to why. His Child has Diabetes, which is a automatic rejection, but the Government seems to have only missed his family as other were refused. You think that the Government would have a lot more security at an air base than Chain link fencing, knowing the world is about to Explode! All the catastrophes that plague the family seem to stem from the fact that they Abandoned their car without Checking they have everything, not so much as a second glance before slamming the door, leaving the insulin behind and heading for the Base. Finally, when they block the plane from taking off with their car, I would of expected at least one passenger on the plane to have got out and killed the entire family. I think the acting overall was pretty good but the Script is poor. See more David W. @deedublu1350 4d Entertaining but not great . Story is interesting but not very realistic. The crowd scenes and looting scene were lame. A good story about how far you would go to save your family. Cheesy to me See more Read all reviews
