Title: Special Effects 8 stars - Plot 0 stars
Review: I was seeing the movie for the first time. The BluRay transfer is excellent and my subwoofer walked across the hardwood floor. It's a great movie to play loud. I'm a tech freak so I could really appreciate the special effects. I can't get enough of seeing LA and NYC getting destroyed. However, even for me that couldn't really offset the lack of plot. The main characters were simply running away from impending doom (always just one step ahead). The plot was too much like Day After Tomorrow, War of the Worlds, or Cloverfield, i.e., thin. If you like apocalyptic destruction than this is for you. If you want a fresh plot line with interesting character development, than look elsewhere.
