Of a disaster movie and a disaster of a movie! But, I kid, they are both disastrous movies . . . Two Hollywood blockbusters with all that implies:
The DaVinci Code. Tom Hanks manages to be convincing and impressive in his first scene and things go downhill from there. Pretty scenery, but not enough to distract from the gaping plot holes and mostly wooden acting. Even Ian McKellen is only competent in his role. The filming is good but it cannot overcome the ponderous and silly plot. My Grade: C-
The Day after Tomorrow, its the end of the world as we know it as the world enters a new ice age in a matter of weeks! The special effects are amazing, everything else, not so. Mostly unconvincing acting, weak plot, weaker science. See it if you want to watch the world destroyed by weather related disasters. My Grade: C-
