Maybe the moviemakers' mission was to boldly go where everyone in Hollywood has gone before: the bank.

If I were a 10-year-old boy, I'd probably think it was the coolest movie going.

It's the first futuristic disaster movie that's as cute as a button. Which, when all the special effects blow over, is what we Americans like in a monster hit.
