My lack of God, what a mess.
The trailer was better then the film as a whole.
Where shall I begin?
Starting with the air chase and then flashing back to the beginning was clearly a mistake. The thing is I used the same start for a screenplay that I was working on. Darn.
Taking some liberties is a necessity on an adaptation to film. Having Jeff Allen already working for the railroad worked. The following changes would have also worked:
Thompson as President of the United States. Granted, like the current occupant of the office, he doesn't deserve the title. But using the proper title would have added an element of realism.
The Winston Tunnel Accident clearly needed changes. The last steam locomotive was taken out of commercial service in 1957. A switch failure was shown as a factor in the accident. This would have been a sufficient cause for the disaster.
CGI effects are now the current standard. But the quality of such effects should be higher than those used in video games.
I saw the first showing on Sunday morning at the Mall Of America theatre. There were only two other persons viewing it.
