READ THE REVIEW

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: D+
"Loud, fast and dumb, with budget-busting special effects."

Austin American-Statesman: 2 of 5 stars
"These are scenes we've seen far too many times before, and there is nothing added in Bay's retelling."

Dayton Daily News: C+
"... attempts to be a thought-provoking thriller, but its premise and characters get lost amid the mayhem."

The Palm Beach Post: C-
"Bay (Armageddon, Pearl Harbor) is not known for directing human interaction, a rep that need not be revised after this latest release."
