Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
SunnyHello Nice effects though.
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
TheLittleSongbird I say this as somebody who dislikes a vast majority of SyFy's movies. Doomsday Prophecy actually did seem interesting in its idea, but I also approached it in trepidation in fear that it would be another Titanic II, Quantum Apocalypse, Alien vs. Hunter, Almighty Thor or 2010: Moby Dick. In my opinion though, although it is far from perfect or even brilliant, Doomsday Prophecy is one of their more tolerable efforts.There is some cheesy dialogue, some of the supporting characters could have been better developed and some of the effects like with the ground cracking are rather cheap. The story is also uneven for me. The film does start off promisingly and for a while unlike some SyFy movies actually feels as though there is a story and an original one at that plus it is paced reasonably, but it does meander with a silly subplot involving some shady characters and few scenes that feel like filler rather than serving purpose to the story and an ending that feels rather rushed and abrupt.On the other hand, the scenery is quite good and the editing and photography are an improvement over most SyFy efforts, not looking as slipshod as something like Titanic II, Mega Piranha or Dinocroc vs Supergator. The music is adequate even if nothing stands out as such and the sound is more authentic than some of the bizarre or misplaced sound effects I've heard in past SyFy movies. While there are some underdeveloped support characters, the leads are somewhat likable especially the protagonist. The cameos are decent and AJ Buckley is solid, but the best thing about Doomsday Prophecy is easily Jewel Staite, she looks very natural and gives her character a lot of charm and wide-eyed innocence.All in all, not bad, not good, just a tolerable enough if not exceptional in any shape or form to spend a couple of hours or so with. 5/10 Bethany Cox
iamwhitewica Surprisingly interesting. Subject is very actual and overused in many movies but this one brings a different twist to the "end-of-the-world" franchise.This is not like the Hollywood product-placement films, it actually has content, action, some real pieces of spirituality inserted here and there discreetly, otherwise the fanatics would raise their bible! A great movie. To the opposite of some reviewers, I'm not into the already chewed up flicks from Hollywood and such so my review is not based on how much sex, drugs, loud music, barely hidden publicity, and how many corporates names are inserted in the movie, it's about the IMAGINATION (unknown to the Hollywood crowd!) Don't be biased by the Hollywood lover, this is a very good movie and deserves more than it has.
Brett Moore After reading a comment on here about this movie being poor, I almost didn't watch this movie but out of boredom I thought how bad can it be. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. First up, the acting was great and there were quite a few cameo appearances early in the movie. Cameo as most of them were all killed off in massive disasters. The rest of the acting was good and by well known TV grade actors and applause to a job well done for the two lead actors who kept me rivited right to the end. The special effects which I was expecting to be crappy were actually quite reasonable and spot on for what one expects from a made for TV movie. All up I was disappointed when the movie ended because I was enjoying it so much. This is definitely a movie to add to your watch list. Now comes the spoilers: The movie is about the earth's up coming demise in 2012 when the earth reaches galactic allignment. AT this time a rogue dark star enters the solar system and the gravitational pull from this causes massive plate shifts resulting in earth quakes and the destruction of cities. Some of the destruction is shown in some fairly reasonable special effects whilst others is just talked about on the radio but then again why would you show Canada being destroyed when the story is elsewhere ? There is a gun battle and a chase spanning two days as a rogue government agent tries obtrain an ancient device our lead actors managed to get just in the nick of time. I wont tell you more because it will ruin a perfectly good story. Enjoy.
Neil Welch I like AJ (CSI: NY) Buckley, and I like Jewel (Firefly/Serenity) Staite. But I must be honest, SyFy movies generally don't impress me much, and this is another one to add to the list.This story about an artefact which is necessary in order to save the world from apocalyptic disaster, the efforts of our two protagonists to put the rescue into effect, and the efforts of certain nutjob factions to prevent them, is utterly routine. The special effects, when they come, are clearly low budget, but not bad for all that.The problem is how can you take seriously a movie where the disasters leading up to the destruction of the world - where we should be awestruck at the destruction, showing us what is at stake - takes place at the other end of a telephone call, or on a TV where we see the back of the set?
