Title: What is it?
Review: I don't think Jeff Long really knew where he was going with this one. Lot's of scenes transferred from other works (Outbreak, Cliffhanger, Timeline, Sum of All Fears, Road Warriors, Deep Impact, The Mummy, Seven Years in Tibet, Sparatcus, The Boys from Brazil, etc, etc -- it's a long list). He makes an effort to tie it together, but it doesn't wash. Characterization is good, just good enough to know that you don't really care about the people. He started out with a good premise but sold it down the river in an attempt to reach a higher philosophical level. It didn't work. The dialog is forced and the story, although physically going to a lot of places, really goes in circles and really gets nowhere, climaxing in a soft whoosh. Nothing resolved after much ado about nothing.
