Acensbart Excellent but underrated film

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

harbeau There is some part of me that always reminisces about watching 'Lois and Clark'...I loved that show.Which is why I keep watching every stinker put out by Dean Cain...some part of me still sees him as Clark Kent, and wants to like him.But this is another example of a terrible acting job by Mr. Cain. I mean, he was terrible! The other actors in the movie weren't much better. And you kinda lose respect for his character about 10 minutes in, as he screws some woman he doesn't even know, knowing that his wife is still out there, waiting for him.All in all, a thoroughly terrible movie. The writing was bad, the directing was bad, and the acting was TERRIBLE!

nalders This movie really doesn't deserve the bashing it's received. Granted, it's a TV movie. Talent and production value are correspondingly lower than a better-funded Hollywood project, but they did very well with what was available.Dean Cain plays his usual character; slightly bland, but generally likable. Bettina Zimmermann and Joanna Taylor are both very hot, and turn in decent performances, to boot. Special effects are nothing special, but better than most TV movies and some Hollywood films. I thought the premise was interesting, too, although they didn't have time to explore it the way a mini-series might have. Still, I think they did a fine job of addressing the major points.There was an acceptable level of action. It could have been better, but then again that is usually the case.The pacing was actually excellent on this, never bogging down. It takes enough time to do the scene, but doesn't linger (except for a brief 'villain's exposition' scene that seems overdone, mainly because he's rambling pointlessly. I could have done without that.) All in all, a solid film.

talltanbarbie Did you ever read "Time of the Great Freeze" by Robert Silverberg or go see "Damnation Alley?" If so, then you've seen this film before--only this time, it's a post Tunguska-like comet impact instead of World War III and no giant cockroaches this time. Dean Cain and a husky named "Sasquatch" lead a team through Ice Age Europe to rescue lost scientists trapped in Berlin in Landmaster-like vehicles. A B-movie science fiction film with all of the associated trappings. Not too bad digital special effects.Turn off your brain and enjoy, then go get "Damnation Alley" for a (slightly) better performance.

mcgriswald This movie starts off with a decent premise: a meteor has hit the Earth in Europe and cast the world into a perpetual winter.The Northern Hemisphere is in an ice age and the equatorial areas are in a state of perpetual gloom and rain. Three years after the event, its determined that someone is controlling a satellite that has the capacity to destroy what remains of the Earth's population. A "crack" team is sent in to the impact zone in Germany to determine where the signals controlling the satellite are originating.So far so good, right? Wrong.The producers of this movie decided to destroy the promise of this movie by inserting terrible dialog, huge and obvious plot holes, glaring continuity errors, and so many logical and factual inconsistencies that the movie makes your head spin.Plot changes occur without any rhyme or reason; its as if they fired and hired writers but had already shot the scenes from the original writer and decided to leave it in the film.Heres a few clunkers: When the team is initially inserted via a special cargo plane carrying some weird airborne tank thingy, there appears to be about 8 crewmembers including the 4 main characters, but as they run into difficulties later in the movie, there always seems to be a couple extras who magically appear to be shot or garroted from behind, etc.When they meet with the subterranean denizens of Berlin, they all speak English, and are relatively unconcerned by this arrival of the first outsiders in three years. They are all wearing spiffy new ski jackets, yet burning trash in barrels like a bunch of Bowery bums.Dean Cains character takes several shots from a 9mm glock, yet is able to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and avoid falling from a catwalk by hanging on with one arm. During the same scene, he applies a tourniquet to his arm, (the same one he uses to dangle from the catwalk) and it disappears just before his second fight with "The Bitch who Wouldn't Die".Later, we see Cain in the closing shots wearing the same parka, which has miraculously had its bullet holes and bloodstains removed.All in all, I can only recommend this film to film students as a caution on how not to make a movie.
