It's nowhere as bad as most critics would have you believe. As disaster epics go, this is definitely a very impressive achievement, with enough iconic images (Los Angeles disappearing into the San Andreas fault, Yellowstone volcano blowing up, Las Vegas collapsing under the tectonic plates, Washington D.C. destroyed by a tsunami, etc.) for a dozen movies. More surprisingly, the story is very effective as well. And not just suspense-wise. We actually care about the characters and about who lives and who dies. And the film's political message, about how the rich can buy their way into safety, while the poor perish en masse, is quite provocative. Unfortunately, there is no nudity, unless we count Woody Harrelson's butt crack (and he isn't even playing a plumber!).
