Okay, this film does include every disaster flick cliche in the book, but that isn't the worse part of the film. The acting is way beyond amateurish in almost every case. The worse offenders are the kids, but then again they are young. Unfortunately, there are so many plot holes, you can drive a truck through them. Given all that, if you are in the mood for a mindless bit of film that doesn't require any thinking on your part, and you do enjoy disaster flicks, I wouldn't call this a total waste of time, unless you have something better to do.
