We managed to get a copy of this movie only with Norwegian soundtrack and English subtitles. A typical disaster movie, story line was OK and the acting was pretty good overall making it a watchable movie. Edge of your seat it was not, somehow it just lacked the intensity required for a rally good movie of this type. Now the main negatives, the SFX, was not that good and looked a bit amateurish but the worst bit is what followed as the story moved through the resultant wreckage there were random little fires scattered through the scenes, all roughly the same size and so obviously false. Question, after everything has been thoroughly soaked for an extended period why would little fires spring up. A burning gas main or a liquid fuel fire I could have accepted but it looked like a troupe of adventure scouts had just left the scene leaving their camp fires burning, as the film progressed it became laughable. Would we watch it again, probably not as there are much better movies of this type available.
