What's with the poor rating on this movie? I thought it was great.


Anyone noticed this?

Well, it is a terrible movie, really.

I really like it, but you can't get by the fact that this movie is plain bad. Most people don't usually enjoy watching "enjoyable crap".

Yes I liked it too. It's plausible and frightening.
The acting wasn't that great but there is a ton of movies with much worse acting and much better rating. I guess people don't want a disaster movie where disaster is only hinted instead of being worth $20 million in CGI.

Before a half year was - 5.5/10 (3,046 votes) and now is 5.6/10 3,191 votes so is goes up. I like this movie too. 7/10 from me.

I don't get it either because I thought it was great. But to look at the user reviews it's clear that guys like us are in the minority here.

I see bad acting cited as one of the major reasons that people don't like this film which I was kind of surprised to see because I don't think anyone in the cast did a bad job.

well according to the votes on IMDB a majority liked the film (voted 6 or higher). They just didn't vote 8's and 9's so much.

I actually thought the rating was higher than a mediocre movie such as this one deserved.

I thought it was ham fisted and hard to sit through.There's about twenty minutes left in it and I'm still debating on whether to finish it. Was expecting better.
