2012 :

condensed review! It's obv. a disaster movie & not just cos John Cusak is in it Bit daft and OTT in places, the effects are good (if bloody repetitive!), the story is decent enough (better than Day after tomorrow!) & I'd say if you're going to watch it, big screen is a must or it just won't come across with the same enormity. Very long though, over 2hr30 I think? Smuggle some sweets in! Good mid week fare would be happy enough if I'd pod for both tix instead of 2-1. One of the better disaster movies of recent years, if a little 'kim bauer' in places. Think people expect too much from this kind of thing nowadays, just sit back, suspend belief (that's the point, surely??) and enjoy

8/10 for the genre, 6.5 overall.


Paranormal Activity :

Heard lots of bad reviews. Didn't think it was bad at all. Unusual, gripping in places, think it depends a lot on the audience and the people watching it where I was were brill, squealing at the appropriate places and being generally scared & I think big screen is important. Probably rubbish on small. Not terrifying by any meals but clever, all done with suggestion. Probably wouldn't watch it again having seen it, but am not sorry I went!
