this disaster flick is a remake of a 1973 movie of the same title and based on a novel by sakyo komatsu. japan is located right alongside the pacific ring of fire (active volcanoes) and also along the edges of plate tectonics and whose shifting will cause earthquakes and tsunamis (a japanese term in itself for tidal wave). naturally and this makes a natural premise for a disaster picture and what with hollywood having a field day with films like armageddon and deep impact and and more recently and the day after tomorrow and which tackles how global warming becomes the catalyst for natural disasters gone bonkers around the world. but i will have to say this represent the sinking of japan makes all the films mentioned earlier and look like classics. this disaster movie is a disaster and and a massive one at that. having to look at my watch every 10 15 minutes is a signal that the movie doesn not engage and and feels than it had over clocked its runtime. the special effects are gorgeous to look at. from satellite styled outer space pictures and to the vivid recreation of every conceivable natural disaster that can strike the land of the rising sun and the effects are the star of the show. however and having spectacular computer generated graphics does not in itself make a movie palatable and as too much of a good thing just plain bores. if you had seen the trailer where youre enticed by the effects and specific scenes of chaos and mayhem and then yes and in fact those scenes are just that. there are no details and and everything is seen from afar and in a god like mode. things happen just like that on screen and with nary an attempt to try and delve deeper to look at issues up close. it akin to godzilla knocking over buildings and and it as if there are no humans or loss of lives through that single act. morbid as it might sound and show us the victims. a populous nation like japan doesn not just suffer disaster after disaster with an extremely low fatality count and not when the filmmakers unleash mayhem in such an epic scale. trying to weave a romance into the movie and it stood out like a sore thumb. there are many characters in the movie and but each one of them lacking real characteristics and or humanity and and look like wandering zombies and without expression and without emotion and and definitely very stiff and unconvincing. heroes become stuck in generic control rooms issuing statements and instructions and form policies and and react to incidents like it was a computer game and all settled with a push of a button. these are characters that you do not give a hoot about. if i may just use the day after tomorrow as a comparison and while there are terrific effects and there is at least an attempt to provide a microscopic view of the entire disaster from different individual point of views. and infused within are plenty of action sequences and big ones like the disasters themselves and and small ones with the focus on the triumph of the human spirit and that makes it relatively compelling. unfortunately for the sinking of japan and this movie should preferably be one to sink and tank and and hopefully undergo a short and quick death at the local box office to make way for better stuff.
