As Good As It Gets

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

I switched on it for i think five minutes to see something like this: Bunker doors open Group of young actors step out wearing pristine military gear, one actor says some dumb exposition like "been down there ten years, would rather die than spend another day down there" all proceed to speak perfect cliché military lingo to some old guy father figure "ten-four we got a fox-trot code 9"(something the old guy taught them?), something really stupid about implausible & impracticable solar panels happens, A military vehicle appears out of nowhere and apparently "purrs like a kitten" somehow after 10 years of presumably being totally inactive.They drive up to a house, guy checks radiation levels or something dumb, something with two arms and walking on two legs opens a door and makes a noise, everyone starts uncontrolled firing at it for absolutely no reason(something the old guy taught them?). Another obvious human pops around a corner and they also shoot it for no reason."what is this?" looks down at obvious human body "SOME KINDA WERID ANIMAL OR SOMETHING" touches it, shows man with green face paint, "raaar" opens eyes with terrible CGI effect.that's when I changed the channel. My brain couldn't take anymore. I feel bad for anyone who continued to watch it.How do movies like this get made? How do you get a budget to make a first draft script made into a movie? I've literally read better scripts online that will never be made into a film.I can see this being on an 8 movie pack in a wall-mart 5$ garbage bin, but how the hell did it make it to an actual movie channel on satellite television? Mind boggling. It literally made me mad.

When a meteor crashes on Earth, a group of people seek shelter in a bunker. Ten years later, they need supplies and leave the bunker, discovering that the survivors have turned into mutants."Mutant World" is a sci-fi that can be described in one word: awful. The acting, story and the screenplay are terrible and the movie begins without any character and situation development and has a corny conclusion. The viewer sees a young woman preparing to shag with her boyfriend in a van and receiving a phone call from her father. Then they drive to a bunker and start shooting people since the place does not have supply enough for their neighbors and friends. Ten years later, the woman leaves the bunker commanding an army to get supplies and they stumble with mutants and a few people that survived to the apocalypse. The movie is so bad that there is a cameo participation of Kim Coates only to give his name to the credits. My vote is two.Title (Brazil): "Mundo Mutante" ("Mutant World")

In a word, pathetic! A bunch of Canadian actors trying to play US American militia and doing so without any charisma whatsoever. I watched this over the course of three evenings as I could not endure viewing it in one sitting. Why is it that Canadian movies rarely, if ever, use Canada as the backdrop of the story. Telefilm Canada obviously needs to re-evaluate its requirements for tax credits given to film producers that Canadian tax payers ultimately pay for. I digress . Essentially, this is a story of "Armageddon" however, not with the big screen production values we're used to but, with a YouTube fan film production, or just slightly better. Have zero issue with strong female characters however, why do strong female characters have to be empowered at the expense of the male characters. Do directors and producers really feel the only way to make a womans' character strong is to weaken her male counterpart? Really? Isn't that rather sexist to both genders? Next, I don't know why Kim Coates, who is otherwise a great actor, would associate himself with this tripe. Bad move Kim. This is some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Holly Deveaux should really plan on a fall back career, perhaps as a pole dancer, as her acting is just awful and so unrealistic. Amber Marshall is the girl from the CBC's "Heartland". Amber, may I suggest you go back to the heartland, leave the acting to real actors please. I'm not familiar with the other actors , so I'll just say their performance is lacking at best. Perhaps this is the product of terrible directing as well. And it is awful. One and a half million dollars was the estimated budget for this movie, and it shows in every aspect of this film. The money would have been far better spent giving it to a charity. It always is however. So, if it's late one night and you can't sleep, watch this movie. NO. JUST KIDDING!. Stay in bed , your dreams will probably be far more entertaining and with better continuity than this garbage.

Terrible acting by people you actually don't necessarily want on TV. Embarrassing special effects not even expected on Syfy. Bumpy and partially broken plot, i.e. scenes don't connect. What really struck me was the obvious attempt to swap the gender roles, i.e. the girl officers played the strong and tough ones whilst the guys were dumb making all sorts of stupid mistakes and statements + going for the sucker moves. Even 10 years after a meteor hit really not so credible. This might have been a kinky idea for a 90s movie but in 2014 I would have expected the prdoucers to be a bit more sober about gender aspects...Bottom line is there was no way I could watch it to the end...
