Rating: ★★★
Aug 1, 2015Spy/Action Film

Dec 3, 2017Weather Control/Disaster Movie
Directorial debut of Roland Emmerich's regular screenwriter Dean Devlin who has clearly been given orders to make another Emmerich film. Thus we get all the same effects-driven mass destruction spectacle, absurd science and pro-environmental messages
