Quite honestly, I do not understand what some of the reviewers here are watching that they give such a negative review. I wish I could see the movie they would create that would satisfy them. Having said that, I thought this was a pretty good disaster film for a TV presentation. True, the formula was familiar--the couple separated, the prerequisite teen at odds with a parent, the evil money maker. But focusing on a dam is a little different and locating it in a city that usually is not the usual big metropolis was enough to make this worth watching. This movie did not really require a lot of special effects and for those looking for mass death and destruction, they will be disappointed. Certainly a better production than some of the reviewers would lead you to believe.
