Trivia:

In an interview by USA Today, Roland Emmerich has stated that this will be his final disaster film: "I said to myself that I'll do one more disaster movie, but it has to end all disaster movies. So I packed everything in."

Goofs:

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: When the camera pans to Caesar's Palace before the boxing match, you can see for a small moment the Las Vegas Strip and the Caesar's Palace marquee showing Bette Midler's "The Showgirl Must Go On" poster. While Midler's last show is slated at the end of January 2010, it is entirely possible that Midler's show has a second run in 2012.

Quotes:

Lilly Curtis: I'm not scared. No more Pull-Ups.
Jackson Curtis: Nice.

Most Amazing, Suspenseful Disaster film!

I just caught a charity preview in Plano, TX. I have to say this is one of the most suspenseful, edge of your seat movies that I've seen in a long time. The special effects were phenomenal and made me jump out of my seat a multiple times. The first part of the movie did seem a little slow during the character development, which is to be expected. But, once the action starts, look out! The director did a great job, starting out with low intensity events and building up the intensity of the events of the move to the final climax. This is an awesome movie that has to be seen on the big screen for the full effect, highly recommended!!!
