Seriously, how many times do you want to blow up NYC and have the Statue of Liberty all "oh no, I'm sad because my head fell off!"? Oh, NYC overdone? Okay, then let's fuck up San Francisco.

"Epic" does not have to equal "epic disaster destroying familiar landmarks."

For example, there's Wall-E which doesn't include sudden horrible death and destruction but still has an epic feel due to the scope juxtaposed to the sentiment of Johnny 5 collecting antiques and pining for love.

If a disaster movie had to be done, I'd hope that it would only include the actual disaster as a small part of the movie like Titan A.E. Funny how cartoons seem to have a way of doing things right.

Oh, and PS, the original movie was decent for something made back in the 50's. This new one looks like an asteroid strike, nuclear holocaust, gigantic flood and alien invasion all in one.
