A cheap, hurried disaster ride that rushes from one flood to the next, more silly than scary but oddly earnest about saving the world.

Overview: When a colossal tectonic shift causes the sea level to start rising, a microbiologist gathers the DNA of as many species as she can, while the military creates an "ark" in a desperate attempt to preserve life on Earth.
How it feels: Tense, dark, earnest and bleak. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, family, science, death
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
