IME, the CG is *terrible*. Like, "we filmed some smoke and then crudely

We're overdue an ice age. It's been an unusually long time since any 
nearby stars went supernova and irradiated the planet with deadly rays. 
One day the Yellowstone supervolcano will explode again. Pathogens will 
inevitably become resistent to every known biocide and kill us all. The 
list goes on...
