When a colossal tectonic shift causes the sea level to start rising, a microbiologist gathers the DNA of as many species as she can, while the military creates an “ark” in a desperate attempt to preserve life on Earth..I’m afraid I have to agree with all three reviews here, 40 Days and Nights is dreadful and quite possibly the worst movie I’ve seen in a while. It is almost certainly down there with The Asylum’s worst, and when they are bad, bad isn’t enough to describe it. And while I’m mostly encouraging with reviews and ratings, I have seen a lot of bad movies recently. Visually, it looks terrible. The scenery is too compact and dully lit, while the special effects- which 40Days and Nights is very heavy on- at best are artificial and at worst diabolical.When a colossal tectonic shift causes the sea level to start rising, a microbiologist gathers the DNA of as many species as she can, while the military creates an “ark” in a desperate attempt to preserve life on Earth.
