The one thing I kept asking myself was "Why doesn't he pull UP?!!?" Every time they were flying, they were just above the ground, rather than pulling up and getting away from all the carnage, but I suppose, it wouldn't be such a good idea to make a Universal Studios ride out of the driving and flying parts of the movie... I personally can't wait for that. I think it was absolutely hilarious that the kid's name was Noah... you knew from the beginning that he was going to survive the movie, since at the end, he saved everyone, and everyone here thought, "Haha... Noah's Ark..."
But yeah... as for what our future looks like, this movie is a big stretch, but still has some elements that could actually be plausible. For instance, you know that if the government knew about the end of the world, we as the general population wouldn't have a clue until minutes before the White House was destroyed. Also, to get on the Arks that would eventually save humanity, it would cost millions, if not billions of dollars to get a ticket on the boats, and they would select the "survivors" of the apocalypse based on monetary wealth, rather than individual value, or community value. Forget about the genius kid in Kenya who won't ever get recognition for his brilliance, because he'll die in the typhoon that comes and wipes out Africa. Forget about the engine mechanic in Arkansas too, who's ideas that he hasn't published would be instrumental in rebuilding the world after the apocalypse. Carrying on the species with a bunch of rich people who may or may not be worthy of it beyond having billions of dollars... not so good.
Beyond that, the movie was bull... :) You knew from the beginning that the scientist and president's daughter would be a couple by the end, and that the hero and his ex would be back together, with the ex's new guy dying... It was predictable, and while the CGI was fun as hell, it was far too unreal to ever actually happen. Oh well...
