Űrvihar

Rendkívül rossz és ostoba katasztrófafilm, amelyben semmi sem működik. Hiányzik belőle Emmerich éleslátása és empatikus munka karakterekkel, a tudományos párbeszédeknek és általában a cselekménynek egy fikarcnyi értelme sincs, az összeesküvő politikai cselekmény pedig nevetséges, ahogyan a természet képtelen elemei is (egy hideg szélvihar által generált megahullám megfagyaszt fürdőruhás embereket a trópusi Rio strandján? Mi van?). Régen volt már, hogy ilyen jó színészekkel teli filmet alig tudtam végig nézni. (2021.04.17)

More Emmerich than Emmerich himself, and just as dumb. No, actually not, this is far dumber. Emmerich takes his fairytales lightly, but this one is taken very seriously. Devlin didn't learn much from his buddy. That it was a fuckton of special effects? They don't impress anybody anymore. CGI effects are a standard today, not the privilege of a good film. Devlin was 20 years behind the times, and this dumbed-down mess deservedly flopped in theaters. (2018.01.30)

I don’t understand where the Yanks get their ideas to take a C-list catastrophic movie screenplay similar to Sharknado, employ a cast of A-list actors, put on a straight face and pay for good visual effects to make it look like a movie by Emmerich. (2018.12.07)

Bugger me! Cheap planet destruction with crappy effects and a crazy conspiracy plot. The predictable wannabe twists pulled out of thin air are saved by Butler's crass, authority-despising scientist. (2020.05.02)

This film doesn't take itself as seriously as I feared it would, but at the same time it's also not as much fun as it would have been if Roland Emmerich had made the film. It's an above-average film, and of course it's basically pretty silly, it's just that I didn't mind it at all. However, I have to fault what is almost the most important thing – the plan of the main villain that causes everything doesn't make a drop of sense, which is something that shouldn't happen to films like this.

I'm giving the film two totally subjective stars because it contained too many of my pet peeves. It was too multicultural, there was too much melodrama, American patriotism, too many moral lessons, and it reminded me too much of Independence Day. Plus, the whole time I felt like I was watching a film that was made in the 90s, only with updated special effects. At least the German woman didn't look like Angela... (2018.03.05)

I was expecting it to be terrible based on the reviews, but it's in fact a pretty normal - and relatively normally stupid - American disaster film where the actual disaster is not really that big of a deal because people are trying to prevent it, not survive it, because it's already happened. I guess I expected it to be more destructive, but I still thought it was alright. (2018.01.22)
