ThiefHott Too much of everything
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
GazerRise Fantastic!
Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
Glenn Cross This is a movie that you definitely won't sleep through, but for all the wrong reasons.The entire script is implausible, poorly written and could not have even made it at a comic book level. The acting is beyond horrific; the CGI reminded me of the early star Trek days, and the sad part about the whole thing is ..... I watched it ALL. I just could not get enough of BAD! I found myself waiting to see what would happen next to make this movie go from bad to worse. My wait paid off in a masochistic way. The whole thing reminds me of how companies market their products. Make a loud, painful, senseless, disconnected commercial and people will remember it. Bad in their mind is good, but in this case, Bad is just BAD! 1/4 star!
lhughes461 It's not often I turn off a film, but in this case I gave up.I struggled with the storyline, why were people constantly trying to kill the main man?.......it just seemed like the film maker wanted to add in some extras so just plopped it in there.The science was poor.Whilst maybe I should have seen it through to the end. For me I sacrificed what seemed to be a more promising film to watch this.Overall rating, could do better especially as I'm guessing from the occasional good visual there was a budget of more than a few thousand $ available.
muggie2 I'd love to pick holes in the science in this movie, but it's pretty difficult to pick holes in a vacuum. They use quite a few scientific sounding words and phrases, but the sound is pretty much as close as it gets to actual content. That wouldn't be so bad - there are many movies out there whose writers knew little about science and yet still managed to create an entertaining movie. Sadly, this is not one of them. As vacuous as the science is, it still beats both the rest of the plot as well as the acting ability exhibited in this movie.You see, we can excuse the writers for failing to know elementary physics - it's not their primary job skill. But when the story fails in pretty much every other area as well, the writers have no such excuse. It's obviously not because they're using the story as a device for showing off pretty special effects, as special effects movies require a budget which is orders of magnitude larger than we see spent on this one. Nope, the story just plain sucks. It fails to be dramatic, thrilling, or even interesting.And then we get to the actors. Now, I know they can do better - they have in the past. Here, however, they fail. Were the lines truly as excruciatingly painful as their expressions suggest? Are they overacting in every scene, or is the disaster they are reacting to actually the effect on their careers from being in this film? Hmmm, possibly so. I would like to rate this movie as the worst movie this century, but with 90 years to go, I'm sure there will be bigger turkeys that this one. In the previous 10 years, however, there are few that can challenge this movie for its position near the bottom.
Snuggles1969 It's by the Asylum. That production company that brought us great movies such as "The Terminators", "Transmorphers" and "Titanic II" If you were expecting Shakespeare then shame on you. I love this kind of movie. SyFy are showing them all day and I'm just sad I have to go to work and am going to miss them. But yes, I gave it one star since it is truly awful. But I expected nothing less. This whole genre shows what great times we live in. Anyone with a cam- corder, a low end computer and cheap CG software can produce a movie and get it on a major "basic cable" network. AND bear in mind that Syfy do have standards. They reject a LOT of movies, so just imagine what quality is being consigned to bargain bins in small pharmacies around the world.Watch it (and others like it) with fun in your heart and time on your hands and don't think too hard about it.
