Lots of collapsing buildings without the rubber suit, 13 January 2000
8/10
Author: freakus from San Francisco, CA

I really like this flick. It's like a monster movie without the monster, lots of japanese people screaming a lot and running away from exploding model buildings. Its actually made me think a bit...what would happen if this were true? Would the countries of the world take in hundreds of millions of immigrants if their country became unlivable?
