Same here. (well, no surprise... France and Germany - remember the war on Iraq
)
What's really interesting is that this movie is said to have a strong influence on the US elections, because apparently it causes more sensitivity to environmental problems in the US people than scientific facts... thus, it makes people more conscious about the protection of the environment, and this is a weak spot of the Republican party. Their official strategy during the electoral campaign still consists of simply denying global warming and keeping NASA or other scientiss from speaking to the public... or at least that's what the article said. Maybe one of our US guys can confirm this?
Oh, and btw: Emmerich is anti-Bush, too. Nowadays, at least. He recently said in an interview that he finds the current US govt. "horrible".
