truly a bad movie. After tuning in for a few minutes I just wanted to know how bad it could be. No one gets wet. The CG was bad as well as the acting. The story is way out there. So they build an ark and one of the engines last 5 minutes. Great engineering. And of course the sails. Perhaps they should have had replacement engines instead of putting the design into sails that are pretty useless in tsunamis which appeared to happen continually. When the writers aren't interested in accuracy, why bother. What resulted was a boring disaster movie. Reviews are right on.I wonder why actors do these movies. Must be because a boat payment is due. But it can't be good for their careers.

I have, with the help of a lot of substance, put myself through a plethora of movies from "The Asylum". I have put up with reused sets, terrible oversights, movies where the helicopter changes four or five times, horrendous CGI, and characters who are privates but referred to as "sir".This movie is worse than all of those.The oversights on this are hilarious. These navy guys are wearing multiple types of camouflage,the officers have over sized jackets with no name tags. The guards have M4 rifles with NO REAR SIGHTS. THATS USEFUL. The arc is powered by old GE turbine engines. The DNA specimens are held in WATER BOTTLES of all things. There is 0 story, the movie just starts with a flood beginning. The woman is a navy seal. Guess what? The SEALs don't have women.The patented CGI with a storm, but nobody is wet and the background is sunny Santa Monica weather. Kill me.

The obvious, of course: most of the acting is bad and the special effects are horrendous. Tessa's mouth moves so oddly, I almost couldn't make it past the first 2 minutes. It was extremely distracting and she actually looks deformed at times. When flying the C-130, Tessa is not wearing a bra and her shirt is soaking wet, making it see-through. Oddly, when her and Lynn get to the ground she is suddenly wearing a bra. On day 23, while attempting to fix the sails several of the Ark's occupants go outside and it is a bright, clear, breezy day with no rain. 30 seconds later when panning to the outside of the Ark, the clouds are rolling, the sails are flapping in the gusty winds, and it is raining heavily. Although there is no land and everything is underwater, the waves are shown crashing onto a beach. Having said all of that, it certainly isn't the worst movie I have ever seen. That would be Age of Ice.

I was looking through my friend's movie collection and I thought that I had chosen 40 Days and 40 Nights, not 40 Days and Nights. The only reason I watched this as long as I did was because I was convinced this had to be an overly exaggerated dream sequence the characters were having, then when THAT didn't appear to be the case, I thought that maybe at some point the camera would pan away and reveal that this was all on a movie set and one of the real characters was a movie director or an actor or something and then the actual movie would start. Once I figured out that wasn't the case either, I googled 40 days to see if there were any similar titles, and lo and behold, I found this. Now I'm just watching out of morbid curiosity.
