About
You’ll like Daylight if you enjoy 90s-style disaster movies with nonstop peril and a determined rescuer, as in Dante’s Peak or The Perfect Storm; Not for you if you want fresh originality, airtight realism, or characters you can fully care about throughout.
Pros: lots of action; tense disaster thrills; memorable hero effort | Cons: routine, predictable story; dated special effects; flaws in realism
