Seemed like a huge movie in 04 but never hear about it anymore.

Aren't they still pushing all that global warming nonsense? Heatwave in fall: global warming. Extra chill in winter: global warming. Mild summer: sign of global warming. They blame it for everything.

I've sorta found it odd how the Vice President in this film is so obviously modeled off the actual Vice President and so it's basically like they seemingly created this fantasy world where Bush was killed.

Nice bait but the general acceptance of man-made climate change has never been higher and it's only going up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_opinion_on_climate_change The last ten years haven't been good to deniers (calling them doubter would give too much credit) at all. But I'm not surprised even that is getting downplayed, it's all certain groups can do at this point.

The movie is still a bit lame though, too on-the-nose and cliché.

The reason nobody talks about the movie is because it is just silly liberal PC drivel that has no basis in reality, it is not even a good movie. Most people don't like Hollywood "lecture movies" and this is one of them with things like the cringe worthy we have to see the main character driving his hybrid Honda Insight and they keep focusing on that like he is a good little steward and saving the world by driving a hybrid when there is no reality in that when you drive a hybrid car, those cars actually pollute more in the way they are built/what is used to build them.

I thought it was silly back when I saw it in the theaters. I’m rewatching now on HBO as I type this. Still sillly, but surprisingly on par with what we see in CGI films today. But it’s a lot of fun. And, better than most superhero movies lately….

It's still being shown on HBO months later.
