Kinda, sorta...
It doesn't go too deep. The first half sets up what is happening, and its a pretty good build-up. It's more about the tension of the situation, missed warning signs, etc. It has the predictable moments that explain in simple terms what's going on, and it has some sub titles explaining other parts. It's done pretty well though.
The action and destruction scenes are well done. What I really liked was the sound of it all, and the curious framing of some parts of the movie. For example, some characters deliver some lines in a scene that is shot placing them in the very-far left or very-far right of a scene. It's weird, but it works.
Also, almost all of the movie is shot with super close-ups of the actors, and a mix of hand-held and steady shots.

I wasn't too interested in seeing it myself but just decided to go since there was nothing much else that was interesting. It's well done, and pays tribute to the people who died, etc. (My GF Tracy was balling in the end...)
