What makes it different from others?

Lack of good storyline.

Blistering performances.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

I watched this movie because of my science background and also there is so little good TV to watch these nights...and kept hoping it would get better. it did not, it only got worse, which i was saddened by because i had always enjoyed Alex Carter in CSI and other things he had done. Monica Keene was the standout worst actress in the show...and when looking her up i was surprised to see a considerable body of work behind this movie?! I am not sure what happened to her training and skill sets in this movie - she looked hung over most of the movie. The science was bad - supposedly she had enough DNA samples of moths, molds, bees, etc, for the replenishment of the entire earth contained in several tubes she slung over her shoulder. the writing was bad, the special effects were bad - it was just a BAD movie. Sudden tidal waves in the desert, women on a helicopter not strapped in while navigating through a major storm front, then jumping onto a train and then off of it, all the while not stumbling around People aboard the arc while navigating storm fronts had a perfectly calm and stable interior while doing those scenes. Woke me up instead of putting me to sleep it was so bad...not sure why they made it!!

I finally figured out what the "B" in a B movie stands for: baaaaad. 40 Days and Nights is so bad on so many levels. Terrible green screen, inconsistent lighting and storm effects have actors standing in the sun whilst all around there is tempest. Wardrobe must have run over- budget because almost no one is wearing a coat in all that rain. The soundtrack is predictable and trite. The acting is stiff and the characters are not believable. Never did I get particularly sympathetic when they either drowned or miraculously survived. I just didn't care. So why make such a bad film from such a classic story? It may be to pander to the faith based audience in America that wants epic tales without sex, coarse language or violence. With only one wet t-shirt scene, two "oh my God's" – one of which could be considered a legitimate prayer – and truncated drowning scenes, the film won't offend on those levels. It may be that the film makers simply tried to tell Noah's tale without the main character being present. There is no real explanation of how the disaster began, no reference to faith in the film, except perhaps the captain's salute to the sunset (God) at film's end. In fact there is no coherent story that captivates in the same way a quick reading of the Genesis narrative does. In this movie God isn't even the bad guy. There was an opportunity, even in this film, to address issues of Divine will and providence. If the fact the ark ships survived is our cue to gratitude in an unseen God, that moment was to oblique to notice. But the worst tragedy here is that I'll never get those 86 minutes back.

If you are desperate/ bored/high enough to watch this movie, try this little game: Count how many times the phrase "let's go!" is heard in the film. I swear some characters say it 5 times in a 60 second clip.It really is like someone set out to make a film that was bad in every way possible. If you can appreciate the sheer absurdity of its badness, then you might enjoy it. On the other hand, if that's what you're looking for, I would say Attack of the Killer Tomatoes is a better choice. This movie is kinda of like an aquatic Damnation Alley, but much worse than that bomb.It would have been fun to be in the screening room the first time that it was shown to investors. I would guess that the producers had a metal detector to go through before entering the screening room to insure none of the backers were armed.The black, gray, and blue camouflage is kinda cool looking though. Disclaimer: I've never produced a movie, and if I attempted to do so, it would probably be even worse than this one. I hope that I would have the sense to never let anyone see something so bad.

This is basically a knock off of the 2009 disaster movie "2012". Global flood.The story for the most part is really disjointed, with scenes that feel out of place. Most of the acting is pretty decent though, with only a couple of people putting in terrible performances.Sadly one of the worst performances comes from Monica Keena, who plays one of the main characters. She looks like a bunny caught in headlights the whole time. Her dialogue delivery is just shocking.Speaking of dialogue, its bad. Really bad. Which is not to be unexpected, given that the writer is also responsible for "Two Headed Shark Attack".Story is meh, the acting is decent for the most part, and the effects only let it down a couple of times.Does it deserve to sink into the depths of 2.4/10? Maybe. I'd give this a 3/10.You may want to avoid it, but if you like naff B movies, this is OK.
