Rating: 7 out of 10, The latest in the
genre where CGI artists get to wreak death and destruction over large parts of
the globe. The two male leads struggle mightily to mask their British accents.
Gerard Butler is the fiery inventor of the massive satellite system to control
the weather that’s been hijacked by nefarious forces. His milksop of a brother
recruits him to fix the problems before the earth is destroyed. The scenes up
on the space station were very enjoyable but unfortunately the filmmakers
decided to invest in the very earth bound and patently ridiculous goings on
earth side. Abbie Cornish dominates as a secret service agent but she was the
only thing remotely entertaining during the all too much time spent on the
groundside melodrama. I enjoyed this a lot more on a second viewing, especially
Miss Cornish
MVP: Abbie Cornish as Sarah, a very
dangerous Secret Service Agent
