Problems I had with this movie.
As an Australian and a Diabetic I found so many errors with this film.
For a low budget disaster movie I actually quite enjoyed it but some things distracted me to an almost frustrating point.
Firstly, I realize this was an American made movie, for Americans but filmed in Australia. However, the fact that they kept on using miles, fahrenheit etc instead of the metric system was beyond annoying ESPECIALLY considering almost all scientific instutions in the world use the metric system because is it more accurate, this includes the USA.
Also I'm very impressed that Jack managed to predict a Hurricane in Queensland, especially since the Southern Hemisphere doesn't experience Hurricanes, but Cyclones.
Secondly, that chick was the worst diabetic ever. She ran out of insulin two days ago? EFFING HELL YOU StUPID $%^&*. Despite that, the blood glucose monitor showed that she was reading at 5.8 which is considered a normal reading (maybe a little bit on the low side) and assuming her level dropped rapidly enough to cause her to faint, why the heck would she want insulin? She'd want cordial, chocolate bars, sugar sugar sugar! Not the drug that reduces the level of sugar in your blood.
That to me was almost offensive as the writer couldn't even be bothered to do ANY research on a condition that effects MILLIONS of people. Seriously, he or she could've just wikipedia'd it and they wouldn've been informed enough to know that you take insulin to LOWER your blood glucose level. GAH.
Another diabetes related annoyance, the packets of insulin he took from the fridge were refill cartridges, not disposable pens (the packets weren't nearly big enough) and insulin is definately not sold with the needle already attached.
I know it was low budget and not intended for a very intellectual audience but I think the writer could have at least gotten a few things right.
