The only reason this movie got a 2 is I've actually seen worse. I love disaster movies. I really do. But if you can't figure out this movie is truly bad in the the first 5 minutes there's no hope for you. If you want high art stick to dramas. That's been my complaint for decades when it comes to reviews on action, sci-fi and even comedies from some reviewers. If you want to be entertained you need to be able to suspend disbelief. What will make those movies is story, acting, dialogue, and, in the case of sci-fi, special effects. In the first 5 minutes you know you won't be getting any of those factors in this movie.Despite there being actors in this movie I've truly enjoyed in other movies, you can tell immediately everybody is in this one is only there for a paycheck. I've sat through many a bad movie but only managed 20 minutes on this one before moving on. It speaks volumes when I pack it in 20 minutes in.

This is a very, very generic disaster movie to make it out from the minds at the people at The Asylum. And if you have already seen just a single other disaster movie at any point, then you have essentially also already seen "40 Days and Nights".The storyline is a straight out of the how-to-make-a-disaster-movie manuscript. A global storm of biblical proportions hits the Earth, and the survival of mankind rests in the hands of just a few Americans. It has all been seen before.The CGI effects were ranging from being adequate to being downright ludicrous and horrible to bear witness to. And the constant rain on the screen was the worst; when they used CGI rain, which was quite often, it looked so fake that it was just embarrassing to look at.There were no famous people in this movie, and for obvious reasons you might add. The acting in "40 Days and Nights" was wooden and stiff, as to be expected from a movie of this caliber."40 Days and Nights" is not worth the time or effort, and not really worth the $2 I spent on the DVD. A very typical disaster of a typical disaster movie from the creative minds of the people at The Asylum (or lack thereof).

If you are desperate/ bored/high enough to watch this movie, try this little game: Count how many times the phrase "let's go!" is heard in the film. I swear some characters say it 5 times in a 60 second clip.It really is like someone set out to make a film that was bad in every way possible. If you can appreciate the sheer absurdity of its badness, then you might enjoy it. On the other hand, if that's what you're looking for, I would say Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a better choice. This movie is kinda of like an aquatic Damnation Alley, but much worse than that bomb.It would have been fun to be in the screening room the first time that it was shown to investors. I would guess that the producers had a metal detector to go through before entering the screening room to insure none of the backers were armed.The black, gray, and blue camouflage is kinda cool looking though. Disclaimer: I've never produced a movie, and if I attempted to do so, it would probably be even worse than this one. I hope that I would have the sense to never let anyone see something so bad.

I am new to Netflix and have some time to waste at the moment, so after watching 1 random movie, I simply click on the next one recommended as the credits start rolling. Well, I don't know where to begin....I guess the reason I watched this flick all the way to the end was more out of morbid curiosity than anything else. Curious as to whether it was maybe an April fools joke or something similar. However, it then dawned on me that the makers of this movie actually believed they where making a real movie, yet it was just wrong in so many ways, from the plot, to the special effects, to the acting. It is officially the new worst movie I have ever seen, and I watch a lot of movies. This one is going to stay with me for a while, yet I don't regret having watched it as I know I could have stopped at any time. So, I would only 'recommend' this movie if you have time to waste, or you are stoned....cause maybe then it might actually be funny.
