When you choose a film you generally have an idea of what to expect. This was to be a story of humanity against the elements. It turned out to be a sappy soapy cliched story of brothers in arms and their female fan club. Clint Eastwood should have directed it. That way it would have been an epic tale instead of a forested version of Top Gun. This follows the Top Gun Maverick wing man narrative to a tee. You almost expect Val Kilmerto pop out of nowhere. Once you're through with all of the myriad av plot cliches and youve digested all of the lame shirtless volleyball macho stuff you might end up enjoying 1 out of every 10 minutes of the .film. Better still don't bother. There are better catastrophe movies out there at least those that don't pretend to be deep and filled with a message. Remember, you can prevent forest fires.
