I was excited to watch this film because I do enjoy the odd disaster film. Boy, was I disappointed. Could someone please tell me how the son, Simon, I think, falls into a crack in the Earth out in a place called 'the rift' but then ends up at HIS SCHOOL only to be rescued in the end!
This film has got to be the worst mash up of plots and sub-plots I have seen in a long time. The disaster itself, the massive collapse of the entire town, actually takes a backseat to the family dramas. The parents' divorce, the mom's new boyfriend, the daughter's gay relationship problems, the son's anger at said parents' divorce, and the drama goes on and on. I really began to hate almost all of the characters, except for the boyfriend who basically seemed shell-shocked to be involved in this mess!
Good grief!
