A decent enough disaster movie, but there's no reason this film is almost three hours long. Too much time goes into lame character introductions and needless conversations. I assume this was meant to make the film more epic and to have the audience be more sympathetic, but all it does is draw out things unnecessarily.
Apparently this film is also based on two separate novels, which is funny because the plot is as barebones as you can imagine. A fire breaks out, people are trapped, and a hero in the building will do some crazy stuff to save as many lives as possible. Those are the fun bits, but they could've been handled in less than two hours.
