Given all of the recent natural disasters this planet has suffered in the past 12 months alone, this is a very sensitive topic for so many. I just hope CBS knows what they're doing.

As much as I enjoyed movies such as Independence Day, Deep Impact, and Armageddon, it just somehow seems "too soon".

Thoughts?

Hi Lorna,

I agree. I won't be watching it.

I tuned into it late, in the last hour, and have thought it to pretty pretty good so far.

I did not see it (to many other show to watch on sunday night) but I was reading some REALLY bad reviews about how the acting and story are just plain blah.

As a trained weather-spotter who has also lived through a hurricane, it was obvious from the previews that this movie must have used pre-school kids for their technical directors.

Science fiction can be entertaining, because it is far enough removed from reality for us to swallow obvious scientific impossibilities. But something that is supposed to happen on earth needs to have believable effects and a believable premise. This movie obviously had neither.

That Hollywood chooses to produce such trash is not of itself alarming. What is alarming is that millions viewed this trash and the trashiness evidently did not bother them!

And today, the big news is that religious extremists in Kansas are once again forcing religious mythology on the teaching of science in our schools.

No wonder the Asians are going to be the next super-powers.

It is unlike me to vent like this, isn’t it? Sorry.

Hugs,

Bernice

Not being a weather buff, nor a meteorologist, I thought the premise behind the storms made for a believable scenario.

However, I tend to not try and analyze a plot, but just sit back an enjoy, if possible.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

As someone who has done more than my fair share of dumpster diving - I have to agree with you there!

I didn't get to see Part 1. Viewed some of Part 2 Sunday evening while surfing between it and football (American style). I'm glad there's no Part 3. The show appeared totally implausible as well as scientifically improbable to me. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the best), I'd give this show no more than a 2.

I watched both parts(in between surfing here,haha). I liked it but then I like these type of films.I have The Day After on DVD and seen it twice so far. It maybe just a movie but ones like these make you think if something like that could happen,
