Action/ Adventure.
Okay, so Roland Emerich loves to include some backstory about a Dad with a really bad relationship with his son/daughter/children, and have their problems solved by the end of the movie. Day after Tomorrow and 2012 had this, so really no surprise to me that this movie had this as well... One of the reviews I read complained about this, but I was like "Hey, its Roland Emerich, what do you expect???"
This is a fun movie. It is really just straight for entertainment. You don't have to think. Terrorists take out the White House with the President inside, and it is up to the guy that has messed up his life to save him.... purely by default. But who is behind it, and why???
Don't go expecting serious commentary on anything. This movie is purely fun, simple, and something to sit with a box of popcorn and sit back and enjoy.
Overall Rating: 7/10.
