I guess you can call this global warming day on Boots and Oil. I rented this video too. Actually, if you take away the global warming as prop, it wasn't all that bad. It does get mostly bad reviews, from what I read.
Actually, the movie might have been better if it were a series of scenes in which people dealt with dangerous situations that resulted from a global warming related incident. Let's say a big chunk of ice breaks off from Antartic's ice shelf and causes the world's oceans to rise quickly. That's generally the idea it starts with, but it gets a lot more complicated after that.
The movie suffers from a believability deficit. And that pretty much ruins it. There's a tsnunami that floods New York, but it might have been better if a large piece of offending ice had spawned a tsunami from Greenland's ice sheet.
Some people called this propaganda, most likely because the Vice President in the movie looks like former veep Dick Cheney. The movie is too dumb for propaganda, though. Anybody who believes in this stuff as shown in the movie is already a moron.
