Emmerich blows CGI sh*t up in spectacular yet yawn-inducing fashion in this bloated corpse of a movie in which only Woody Harrelson escapes with his reputation intact. The plot holes are bigger than the yawning CGI chasms the rip apart US cities. If you like the chase-escape-chase-escape predictability of movies like 'The Fugitive' and 'Indy 4' then you'll like this popcorn muncher - but there's nothing new and not much to enjoy. The script, dialogue, direction and acting bar Woody) are flat as a wrecked cityscape and other than state of the art CGI animation and beautifully rendered destruction this has nothing to offer save multiple moments of "no way did he escape... again!" Who thought armageddon would be this dull?
