This is a very, very generic disaster movie to make it out from the minds at the people at The Asylum. And if you have already seen just a single other disaster movie at any point, then you have essentially also already seen "40 Days and Nights".
The storyline is a straight out of the how-to-make-a-disaster-movie manuscript. A global storm of biblical proportions hits the Earth, and the survival of mankind rests in the hands of just a few Americans. It has all been seen before.
The CGI effects were ranging from being adequate to being downright ludicrous and horrible to bear witness to. And the constant rain on the screen was the worst; when they used CGI rain, which was quite often, it looked so fake that it was just embarrassing to look at.
There were no famous people in this movie, and for obvious reasons you might add. The acting in "40 Days and Nights" was wooden and stiff, as to be expected from a movie of this caliber.
"40 Days and Nights" is not worth the time or effort, and not really worth the $2 I spent on the DVD. A very typical disaster of a typical disaster movie from the creative minds of the people at The Asylum (or lack thereof).

I'm afraid I have to agree with all three reviews here, 40 Days and Nights is dreadful and quite possibly the worst movie I've seen in a while. It is almost certainly down there with The Asylum's worst, and when they are bad, bad isn't enough to describe it. And while I'm mostly encouraging with reviews and ratings, I have seen a lot of bad movies recently. Visually, it looks terrible. The scenery is too compact and dully lit, while the special effects- which 40 Days and Nights is very heavy on- at best are artificial and at worst diabolical. Even the camera work is bad, even when the ship was on turbulent sea I never got that sense as it was all too stable. Shots of Monica Keena's cleavage fared a little better, but this idea feels like a low-budget film and Asylum cliché and feels very thrown in. And if anybody is fussy about continuity I guarantee that you will have a field day spotting all of the numerous errors scattered throughout 40 Days and Nights. The music does nothing to match the movie's mood either, while the dialogue constantly feels awkward and almost as if the writers had little to no idea of how to make a movie script make any kind of sense. The story is a major failing as well, there is never anything exciting, fun, suspenseful or thrilling, the events are incredibly predictable and rushed, the scientific errors- of which there are too many to list, though the ones involving the DNA specimens were the absolute worst- make the film ridiculous and you never feel the extent of what damage the storm will do. The characters are underdeveloped and obnoxious and the acting is either wooden or over-compensated, in Monica Keena's case it manages to be both. In conclusion, a real disaster on every level. 0/10 Bethany Cox
The one and only star I give this shiat is for Christianna Carmine. Yes she can't act but she's cute.
Probably the worst movie I have ever seen. I cannot decide if it is so bad it becomes funny (like Plan 9 from Outer Space) or just plain boring bad, perhaps so bad it becomes interesting; how did they accomplish? It looks like everyone know this is going to be really really really horribly wrong, so they don't even bother to try.
CGI is used for everything and it looks like something from an average PC game. And when this bad CGI is not used for something "dangerous", then we see some bored faces looking like they don't know what the hell is going on, whether they should look frightened or bored, camera panning back and forth, and then afterwards the other will tell you what just happened, like "oh, he just died" or "oh, she nearly died" (everything with the same lame "but we couldn't care less" expression).
Oh my god.

OK, so 1st off. The head of the costume department should have gone to a thrift store. The military uniforms are plain awful. In terms others who have been in the military will understand they are totally A.T.F.U.
I have seen better acting from a McDonalds manager apologizing for an incorrect order.
The saving grace of this movie is that there is no real questionable material. No cursing, sexual scenes (ok, one make-out session but only kissing) no graphic violence. Maybe a child could watch this and not see how bad he SFX and acting is.
The only thing that I enjoyed about this movie was the end. No, not the *not a spoiler alert folks* culmination of the story where the hero saves the day or fails and all is lost. But THE END. When the movie was over.
