WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE MOVIE ABOUT A POWER OUTAGE IN LOS ANGELES?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

This movie was mentioned in a thread a few weeks ago - it was about a power outage that lasted three days in Los Angeles. I want to rent it to night and can't remember the name. Thanks in advance. :-)

Thanks, y'all. I rented the movie tonight. It really makes you think about "survival of the fittest" - or maybe "survival of the smartest!" I think all of us who are preparing are among the "smartest".

I thought it was unintentionally hilarious. The worst problem for restaurants was having to sell warm soda pop. Businesses were not as brightly lit as usual. The most ridiculous part was the end, when power magically came back and everything was back to normal, with no explanation of what had happened.

Pearlie,

I agree. What a joke. How about that guy storming the drug store and hour after the power goes out? Was that high drama or what?? :) Gary North recommends this movie. I thought it would be a real thriller. NOT!!

I would sit through the "The Life and Times of Gary North", starring Wilford Brimley, if it also included Elisabeth Shue slinking around in revealing clothing and sweating alot.
