I found this awful....i kept thinking about the fantastic original film, i couldn't help it because the storyline was pretty much copied. The actors were very unconvincing and i didn't care what happened to them (unlike Shelly Winters in the original), the script was very basic throughout with one liners like 'there must be another way out' or 'quick the waters rising' all said without much conviction, i'm afraid i didn't feel for any of them at all. Very very poor re-make IMO, i wouldn't recommend it unless perhaps you hadn't seen the original.
I can rememeber watching the origiinal on all those bank holidays growing up, listening to people whinge about the repetativenes. I loved it
This a well structured, powerfull, special effects laden masterpeice (almost). Its up there with the original, the only draw back is I think maybe it won't have the same effect on the small screen, so go buy a big tv!
This is a wonderful take on the disaster genre, one which will probably haunt our childrens bank holidays for years to come.
