With eighteen days to go before armageddon, let's send in hotshot oil driller AJ (Brucie) and his twelve-strong team of wise-cracking, roughneck workmen, land them on the asteroid and let them plunge their big drills into unchartered geology, hopefully making a swift getaway b find out more...

You know how before this came out at the cinema there was massive internet hype, a mind boggling disaster, sci-fi, horror, action flick, but bugger all about what the plot actually involved? Well that's because apart from monsters reeking havoc in New York, and some pretty young things trapped in the carnage, there is no plot; nada, zilch, nothing.

Lucy Fife Donaldson says: "Mark Wahlberg is pulled back into the smuggling business when his brother-in-law falls foul of a no-good gang, run by Giovanni Ribisi (who looks and sounds the meanest he has yet). What follows is a fairly standard, but no less fun for it, caper of heist plans and double (double) crosses that goes to Panama and back. If you can’t fall for the easy charm of Wahlberg, not to mention the wiry charisma of Ribisi and Ben Foster, then this is unlikely to be of much find out more...

A couple of hours later, having barely survived a vicious storm, everyone is stranded deep in the Gobi thousands of miles from civilisation and with only the remnants of a plane.

When a huge storm coincides with a high tide an enormous tidal surge is set in motion that rips across the South East coast and surges unstoppably towards London, overwhelming the city's last line of defence, the Thames Barrier. A mixture between eco drama and disaster movie, it's hard to emphasise how god awful ‘Flood' is. A cast who should know better deliver lines that beggar belief and as the turgid drama swills around your ankles when the action finally arrives it takes the form of some wel find out more...
