I was going to ask for that URL, actually. And I swear I didn't see yr review before raising the Irwin Allen reference. :)
The other thing I'd add regarding caring about who lives and who dies is that both the bride and I predicted with uncanny accuracy pretty much all the survivors in advance. So there's really no suspense anyway. It also illustrates fairly accurately how close Emmerich sticks to his own formula.
I agree about Cusack too. He can make almost any film worth watching, for my money.
