Whenever I'm feeling down, I pop this baby in the machine and give it a watch. The way the director (Emmerich) immediately and permanently discards the laws of physics is simply hysterical. The characters are a study in apathy, and it's not too hard to see the smirks they're trying to hide as they deliver their lines.I'm thrilled that people are still financing the likes of Emmerich, and his equally adept countryman, Uwe Boll. Seeing their work is like being there when Ed Wood presented his seminal films.Keep it up, Guys!! The world needs absurdity, now more than ever.For those of you who took the science behind this movie seriously: I'm sorry to have used lots of big words.Cheers.
