See before. Very recommended boo about wild fires in Santa Barbara CA.

3STARS! -it wasn't a "global destruction" story (like I thought it would be...for some reason) but it was pretty entertaining. I especially like the villain's perspective. I think it would make a decent action / thriller movie... maybe with Ryan Reynolds it could get some decent sized audiences...
