4/5

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

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.

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].

This disaster film is contrived and nonsensical with very few redeeming features.

Other than poor CGI, the story is good. Its definitely worth a watch. Few things about characters other than the main ones appear cheesy which I don't think depict real world situation but I guess its about being positive about the world.

Poor writing, directing and editing. I guess the actors were working with what they got but the family is so unlikeable I just hoped for them to get separated and die miserably. I stopped watching after about 50 minutes. Was not interested in continue watching it at all. Stay away. Watch paint dry or something instead.

4/5 🍅 If you need to know if it is worth your time, the answer is yes. There were some notable issues, such as poor CGI meteors or actors turning around during the final shot — breaking my immersion and making it blatantly obvious that that is a green screen in front of them. At least they didn't pull a Sharknado. Aside from the obvious plot holes, poor CGI, and oblivious extras, this film genuinely had me tweaking on the edge of my seat the whole time. At "LUDICROUS SPEED" from one hopeless scene to the next, I couldn't help but arm wrestle myself because of the suspense. Best movie I have seen in awhile. Final note: even though I raved about this movie, I probably wouldn't have watched it if there wasn't a familiar actor in it.
