I'm there.
Interestingly enough, the sudden climatic shift due to the change in the ocean currents is a plausable theaory. Try searching around for "sudden climatic shift".

When I first heard of the movie a few months ago, I thought it might focus more on, oh I don't know, the day after all the events. That is, it would show all the destruction first off, and then show how people dealt with it for the bulk of the movie. That intrigued me.
I'm still hoping for that scenario, but the trailer kind of left me thinking I was wrong.

Looks like it's right down my alley. I grew up on The Poseidon Adventure, Earthquake and Towering Inferno.
I just showed my wife the trailer and she's sold. We'll be there.

Hopefully, the disaster will happen in the first half of the film rather that right at the end...
The special effects look fantastic...the acting looks horrible. I kept cringing at Dennis Quaid's lines...and we KNOW he's a good actor...so it's the director's fault for not pulling a better performance out of him. "I will come and get you...do... you ...understand?!?!" Yes Dennis, we understand because you said...it...so...slow...for...us.

I love when the movie focuses more on mankind adapting to a radically changed uncivilized environment. And the contrast between different schools of thought demonstrated various ways in the new environment such as one based more on humanity / civilization and others based more on an oppressive / survival of the fittest dictate.

Act 1: Introductions to the film's character and story. Total destruction at the end of the act.
Act 2: Film's characters try to make of what just happened and try to find ways to resolve the problem.
Act 3: Resolving the problem.

By the way, that trailer is great. We haven't seen a huge, gigantic "blow tons of shit up" film in a while. [/B]

Yeah, we haven't seen that for... like 4 or 5 months now.
A) Good.
B) Watchable.
C) Total "style over substance."
The last two were Bad Boys II and 2 Fast 2 Furious and those were more "destroy shit up" (like cars and boats and houses) and not "blow tons of shit up" (like actual cities).

I don't know. The plotline looks to be dull, standard fare that we've seen a million times in this kind of movie. Which means that all that's left is the special effects, and chances are we've seen all the "money shots" in the trailers already.

I'm really, really, really wavering on whether or not I want to see this.

I'm on board for this one since IMO the trailer looked great visually. Will it be a mindless flick where things blow up, probably, but summer is the time usually reserved for eye candy so what can you do.

Anyway, i tihnk Matthew is right, there hasn't been a big disaster movie like this. Watching entire cities get leveled is not the same as watching a few cars blow up.

And in all honesty, disaster films aren't well known for plot. They're big and flashy and all are style over substance. Just look at Airport, The Poseidon Adventure (the sequel doesn't count as it sucks), The Towering Inferno, Earthquake, and Rollercoaster (hey, I liked it). People want to be amazed by the visuals and want to be entertained for two hours. Nothing more, nothing else. If Roland Emmerich serves up the fun that he brought to the table with ID4 (and doesn't bring the shit that was Godzilla and The Patriot), then I'm there opening day.

I only hope the movie can deliver what the trailer promises.
That scene with the people running through the city just ahead of a huge wall of water was excellent.
I think it looks fabulous....
