i have to admit i love cheeseball disaster movies too. you gotta check out "miracle mile." anyway, in 10.5 the acting wouldn't have even interfered with the great buildup and tension in the story if they had done a better job explaining things. you know, the classic drawn out suspense disaster movies are famous for. for some reason, 10.5 seemed mostly fragmented and didn't explain enough so unfortuantely the story didn't suck me in. i really wanted it to be a better movie. oh well.
