40 DAYS AND NIGHTS is another dead-headed disaster movie made on a very low budget and packed with cheesy CGI effects and a predictable scenario. I have no idea whether it was made by SyFy or The Asylum but either would be a good fit. The story is about a period of incessant rain which causes the Earth to flood, so various technical types decide to build a modern-day ark to house survivors. This is dumb stuff indeed, loaded with wooden acting from the supporting players and a seen-it-all-before feel. The CGI wave effects are much worse than those seen in THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW and SAN ANDREAS, which is no surprise.

The Sci-Fi original movie channel has been a horribly sad joke with no inspiration, and this movie follows suit, though at least it doesn't preach as much as most of the movies.Still, the story of a bunch of self important big shots making arks to survive a disaster, and saving their precious families, is a bit sick and self righteous.The movie is pretty dull, to tell the truth. I managed to sit through it without cringing, so I think the present rating which is below 2.5 is a bit low.It isn't a good movie, mostly because of childish writing and a childish plot, but it could have been much worse.At best, I can say this is maybe the sort of movie you might watch on the elliptical or treadmill or exercise bike to pass the time.

The obvious, of course: most of the acting is bad and the special effects are horrendous. Tessa's mouth moves so oddly, I almost couldn't make it past the first 2 minutes. It was extremely distracting and she actually looks deformed at times. When flying the C-130, Tessa is not wearing a bra and her shirt is soaking wet, making it see-through. Oddly, when her and Lynn get to the ground she is suddenly wearing a bra. On day 23, while attempting to fix the sails several of the Ark's occupants go outside and it is a bright, clear, breezy day with no rain. 30 seconds later when panning to the outside of the Ark, the clouds are rolling, the sails are flapping in the gusty winds, and it is raining heavily. Although there is no land and everything is underwater, the waves are shown crashing onto a beach. Having said all of that, it certainly isn't the worst movie I have ever seen. That would be Age of Ice.

I am new to Netflix and have some time to waste at the moment, so after watching 1 random movie, I simply click on the next one recommended as the credits start rolling. Well, I don't know where to begin....I guess the reason I watched this flick all the way to the end was more out of morbid curiosity than anything else. Curious as to whether it was maybe an April fools joke or something similar. However, it then dawned on me that the makers of this movie actually believed they where making a real movie, yet it was just wrong in so many ways, from the plot, to the special effects, to the acting. It is officially the new worst movie I have ever seen, and I watch a lot of movies. This one is going to stay with me for a while, yet I don't regret having watched it as I know I could have stopped at any time. So, I would only 'recommend' this movie if you have time to waste, or you are stoned....cause maybe then it might actually be funny.
