I watched the movie when it came out in theaters. Although I disagree with most of the theories portrayed in the movie, it still was an excellent movie. The special effects where out-of-this-world. I do however think it is kind of an eye opener to those who are completely ignorant about how vulnerable we truly are against mother nature. My wife still has nightmares from that movie, even though it is not real. I am glad she did watch though because she is now a little more aware.
