Overpowered by waves of indifference
11 April 2015 | by (United Kingdom) – See all my reviews

Bad script, bad acting, atrocious special effects. It can only be an Asylum film homage destined for the ScFy channel.

When a massive tectonic shift triggers a tsunami capable of destroying the world the US military creates special Arks capable of holding up to 50,000 people and the DNA of every species possible while the storm consumes most of the world.

A microbiologist tries to obtain the various DNA needed but unsure whether its moth or bee DNA that is more important.

The film is a rip off of 2012 but the filmmakers also probably anticipated the Russell Crowe starring vehicle Noah that was due out in 2013 as well.

You have ridiculous scenes where the scientist accompanied by a tough female soldier (without any apparent weapons and armour) encounter some hillbillies who only have rape on their mind even though the world is to end.

You have boring action scenes but all you see is poor CGI and bad model work with interior shots of actors in the ark. The story is nonsensical as if the writers were making it up as the film went along.

On the plus point, Christianna Carmine who played the very unmuscular tough soldier with rather heavy make up looked very nice which is worth an extra point.
