About
If you enjoy big, old-school disaster thrills with constant danger, heroic rescues, and tearjerker moments, this delivers; Not for you if 9/11-like imagery, melodrama, or a long setup and cheesy jokes will bother you, like in Ladder 49.
Pros: nonstop peril and suspense; impressive effects; emotional roller-coaster | Cons: long character setup; corny humor; too many characters
