The special effects were very good. If you like seeing the world get distroyed - this is the movie for you. The story line was just - OK. OK - the world is coming to an end - got it! Now what. Out run - out last - and watch everyone else get killed. OK - what next? Kind of a let down. It sees that money or power (or speed) were the only reasons that people deserved to be "saved". If I become rich enough or famous enough (or fast enough) - can I be "saved" too? The few swear words that were in the movie - could have been left out and it would have been a much better movie. Save your money - wait for it to hit the bargin-bin.
