truly a bad movie. After tuning in for a few minutes I just wanted to know how bad it could be. No one gets wet. The CG was bad as well as the acting. The story is way out there. So they build an ark and one of the engines last 5 minutes. Great engineering. And of course the sails. Perhaps they should have had replacement engines instead of putting the design into sails that are pretty useless in tsunamis which appeared to happen continually. When the writers aren't interested in accuracy, why bother. What resulted was a boring disaster movie. Reviews are right on.I wonder why actors do these movies. Must be because a boat payment is due. But it can't be good for their careers.

I have, with the help of a lot of substance, put myself through a plethora of movies from "The Asylum". I have put up with reused sets, terrible oversights, movies where the helicopter changes four or five times, horrendous CGI, and characters who are privates but referred to as "sir".This movie is worse than all of those.The oversights on this are hilarious. These navy guys are wearing multiple types of camouflage,the officers have over sized jackets with no name tags. The guards have M4 rifles with NO REAR SIGHTS. THATS USEFUL. The arc is powered by old GE turbine engines. The DNA specimens are held in WATER BOTTLES of all things. There is 0 story, the movie just starts with a flood beginning. The woman is a navy seal. Guess what? The SEALs don't have women.The patented CGI with a storm, but nobody is wet and the background is sunny Santa Monica weather. Kill me.

Bad script, bad acting, atrocious special effects. It can only be an Asylum film homage destined for the ScFy channel.When a massive tectonic shift triggers a tsunami capable of destroying the world the US military creates special Arks capable of holding up to 50,000 people and the DNA of every species possible while the storm consumes most of the world.A microbiologist tries to obtain the various DNA needed but unsure whether its moth or bee DNA that is more important.The film is a rip off of 2012 but the filmmakers also probably anticipated the Russell Crowe starring vehicle Noah that was due out in 2013 as well.You have ridiculous scenes where the scientist accompanied by a tough female soldier (without any apparent weapons and armour) encounter some hillbillies who only have rape on their mind even though the world is to end.You have boring action scenes but all you see is poor CGI and bad model work with interior shots of actors in the ark. The story is nonsensical as if the writers were making it up as the film went along.On the plus point, Christianna Carmine who played the very unmuscular tough soldier with rather heavy make up looked very nice which is worth an extra point.

Wow,the worst movie I ever watched as far as I can remember. This one has nothing good. Even the Intro here on IMDb is wrong. It talks about a tectonic shift but its a storm front. I just wonder where the storm is drawing all the water from to flood the whole world, Mars maybe?They save DNA from honey bees and bees to save the world? What about cattle? And the storm grows exponentially, every day 200 miles ^^. They even flipped over science and physics. They build a ark out of concrete walls, nice ;) The only thing which was a little, but just a little bit, realistic, was the first couple minutes when the 4 people cruised around in the so called "Sahara Desert"...Don't watch it....
