GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Watchin Movies This was very entertaining and easy to binge watch.
gretchengreenwood I never would have imagined putting Gary Sinese and Molly Ringwald together as a (romantic) couple, but for some mysterious reason it seems to have worked really well. I found myself quite moved in a couple of places, which was a nice surprise.I was also amazed at how perfectly cast Laura San Giacomo was as 'Nadine.' Very scary, almost too scary like it was real life, not acting. Corin Nemac was also good as 'Harold,' the unsuspecting victim of her super scariness.
dewwy321 The first time I saw this was back in 94 when I was 12 years old. At the time I thought it was great. It wasn't until the 2000's before I saw it again and I have re-watched it from time to time. The first two hours holds up well for me. I always enjoy seeing the start of any plague movie or TV miniseries. It's interesting to see what unfolds in the story. By today's standards, The Stand might seem too timid or slow to build to anything. For me, I enjoy watching what happens around these characters and how they react. Seeing entire society crumble before you is pretty cool. Where the Stand starts to fall apart is when more focus is put on good vs evil. Good vs evil is really the main plot of the story. It really all goes down hill around the two hour mark. That's when the plague story ends. Not only that, the story starts to fall apart, characters begin to get annoying, the acting seems to get worse and worse, jumps in the story start to happen, continuity is poor and the excitement is over. It started out as a story that could have gone anywhere and then pigeon holes itself. Overall, I think it's worth a watch, but don't be surprised if your interest in the miniseries wanes.
scottmannen1 It's a made for TV movie, not some Hollywood blockbuster with a massive budge that is plastered wall to wall with movie star A-Listers. That being said, there are a surprising number of top notch thespians.Gary Sinise and Molly Ringwald lock things down with solid performances that represent "The Light" side. In a nutshell there is a massive die-off in the form of a deadly plague that basically remakes the entire Earth. The planet as we know it goes from 7.5 billion population to somewhere around 10,000 planet-wide! To further complicate world matters there appears to be a supernatural biblical force behind the entire event. There are now two sides to this event: the side of God and the side of the Devil turning this disaster into what appears to be an apocalyptic event.The evil is concentrating around Las Vegas 'Sin City" so aptly named. A biker looking rebel with a legendary mullet by the name of Randall Flag is leading the darkness.The good are behind a devout old woman of 106 name Abigail Freeman who is gathering the light to her via dream messages.This series can drag on in some parts, but it's a fantastic showdown that can't be missed! Be sure to watch this one!
