I haven't seen the movie and I'll not see it: I dislike cinema. But, about the "flash freezing", and the fact of the mammoths almost istantly frozen found in Siberia, there's another explanation, that Albert Einstein himself liked a lot: the theory of Hapgood about Earth Crust Displacement ( http://www.skrause.org/writing/papers/hapgood_and_ecd.shtml#ECD ). In short, Hapgood thought that, towards the end of the last Ice Age, the mass and the weight of the Ice covering most of Northern continents, being asymmetrical, alongside with the Earth rotation, caused the whole crust to "slip" thanks to the "imbalance", in a way that's been stated: "much as the skin of an orange, if it were loose, might shift over the inner part of the orange all in one piece."

I saw it yesterday with my coworker (my sister does not want to see it), I think it's a good disaster movie. It has intense moment and dramatic. I don't really care about the political motive or the science behind it... I already learned to ignore these things in movies

Uh... there's no such thing as centrifugal force. Sorry.pax said:
saw it yesterday, and as far as disaster movies go, this is one of the best...
What is time anyway...?
Wow, after 4 pages i can actually contribute to this thread, having seen this movie last night...
Not sure what to think really, at times it was cringe-worthy, especially the performance from the dad guy, Dennis Q-something... Who on earth came up with his name for that part? There are loads more actors that could have done a much better job at it that he did... He was REALLY bad.
The effects and all were great, as expected.
In the end, a "fun" movie which is only let down by the complete lack of class from the director.

It's Dennis Quaid, and I thought he was alright! No-one is going to have any fun explaining the science in a disaster movie, and it's a difficult to play a super-scientist come action hero against a backdrop of special effects.
Although Ben Afflec is awesome in Paycheck. Paycheck is awesome. John Woo's cringe inducing direction + Ben Afflec's smugness (as a genius reverse engineer and martial arts hero) = greatest.

No, i mean the dialogue scenes, the "normal" scenes... He was really really bad...
Still haven't seen Paycheck, might rent it tonight...
If anyone who takes global warming seriously was shot, this eath would be a much, much nicer place - and an incredibly smarter one, too!
I had to do an effort not to laugh at the elocution some pupils did about it for our moral lessons... "In 1000 years, all of our country would be submerged in water!"
This is ironic at best...
