After solar flares upset Earth's balance, tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanoes destroy cities and decimate citizenry across the globe, seemingly in fulfillment of ancient Mayan prophecy. State-of-the-art CGI wizardry is employed to eye-popping effect in this latest apocalyptic extravaganza from the director of THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. But the pace too often is plodding, the performances wildly uneven, and the script crammed with laughable clichés and preposterous coincidences. Despite game efforts by Harrelson, Ejiofer, and Platt, this amped-up version of a '70s disaster film offers little more than very expensive cheap thrills.
