As always though, the focus isn't on the story but crazy CGI effects.

And destroying the White House - and apparently the entire planet...

Still might be fun to watch.

Quick, think of a famous landmark in your head.  Ok, are you thinking about it?  IT'S BLOWING UP!  HAHAHAHAHA, CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS SHIT?  IT IS BLOWING RIGHT THE FUCK UP!

Ok ok ok, now think of another one.  Like, in another country.  You got it?  IT IS BEING HIT BY AN ASTEROID!  LIKE, FROM SPACE!  OH, MAN HOW COOL IS THIS SHIT, RIGHT?

So yeah, this is less a movie than a pastiche of shit the guy has thought would look cool, strung together in what is probably gonna be a very flimsy fashion.  The White House being crushed by an aircraft carrier being propelled by a tidal wave?  Come on.

Just for once I would like to see a disaster movie that doesn't have to rely on blowing up famous things that people have sentimental/patriotic attachment to in order to make an impression on the audience.

This was pretty much the only good thing about the new War of the Worlds. It didn't have alien tripods stalking through Paris blowing up the Eiffel Tower in super slo-mo.

See? Because they used their military to crush things, and now they are being crushed by their military.

Huh. Well, isn't this embarassing. The apocalypse isn't supposed to come until 2220.
