Right you lot. I've got the DVD and I'm going to watch it this very
evening. I've actually kept putting it off untill the day after tomorrow,
but I can't go on like that with the clocks going back next week. I just
hope the scene with the Larsonn B ice shelf splitting is all its cracked up
to be.

I take it that you'll be watching it three times, Lawrence.

Damn it John I tried to cancel the extra two messages. I've just finished
watching this trash and I'm compelled to say once is too much.
Full belated response somewhere in time.

That's because when I'd realised three had been sent, I immediately
cancelled the last two
So all three would have shown for a short period of time.

I thought it was utter toilet. Over hyped and toilet. SO far fetched. As if
the weather will turn that quickly

Even though as it's been well documented that the science is questionable to
say the least. The actual film, plot, characters and plausibility were so
awful I felt cheated out of the rental cost-thank god I never purchased it.
It's the only scenario of an ice age where the sea levels actually rise! Why
was all that storm surge water still flooding New York? As for that Super
Tanker creaking down 5th Avenue, if that had been London Livingstone would
have had clamped removed and impounded the ship at the blink of an eye. Was
that boat Russian?
The whole film was riddled with inconsistencies like mobiles phones being
used when most of the power to the base stations would have stopped. Then
there was that scene where Jake Gyllenhaal's character says "oh telephones
have their on power supply" Okay I can go with that. He then proceeded to
use the bleedin thing virtually under water. Don't try it at home kids as
you'll destroy the phone.
Right we have New York which is now super frozen, so you can walk on the
ice, correct. This lot didn't, they stayed in their own building poignantly
burning civilisations collection of books taken from the wooden panelled
walled library, oh how fragile it all is. Why couldn't they burn furniture
that was every where within the vast building?
I'll end on this as it's boring. The last scene is the Hollywood
prerequisite scene nowadays, where helicopters fly in formation, this time
over a frozen New York. All of a sudden there is hope for humanity thousands
of people waving on roof tops who had survived! So where were they all for
the bulk of the film? All you had to do was look out of a window across the
street and you would have seen each other or alternatively walk across the
ice to the next building and had a look for food and fuel and say hello the
weathers been a bit rough hasn't it?. Why, the others set out across the icy
waste land 24 hours before and never saw a soul. What a load of tosh.

Well it is fiction. It's not presenting itself as the latest research in a
peer-reviewed journal ;-) A jolly good escapist yarn not to be taken seriously.
My teenage son loved it. Good special effects.

I loved the bit at the end where the astronauts in the ISS were looking down at
the Northern hemisphere covered by ice and yet the coastline of the Med was as
it is now...

Exactly, I agree fully :-)

It seems that because of the topical subject matter, far too many have taken
this film seriously as a Horizon type documentary rather than just a fiction
adventure movie. I actually enjoyed it as what it is supposed to be and just
saw it as another Hollywood well tried disaster formula applied differently,
just as all those other things that merge together after a while like "The
Towering Titanic", "The Inferno Adventure", "Poseidon", "Airport 3000" to
name but a few in other "subject" areas to be enjoyed as entertainment only
but not taken seriously in any way.

Whether any of the science behind 'TDAT' is the slightest bit plausible in
any way is another matter but even if it is, it won't happen remotely like
the film.
