Some years ago, the world experienced a "day of reckoning" when creatures came up from below and purged humanity of evil. Now, it is happening again.

Best movie of this year hands down!
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Yes, honest, I actually enjoyed it, so gave it a 6.OK, it was pretty bad but the idea was pretty original. The actors were passable - even the guy who played Grandpa (who apparently can only talk in a slow deliberate, boring voice) he wasn't too bad in this silly film.Sure, there were lots of plot holes, like where the heck did they actually manage to climb out of where they live to come to the surface? I mean, most bore holes are pretty narrow...Yes, the CGI was pretty lame, but as long as you don't LOOK for the problems and use your imagination, it wasn't too bad.I still can't get over the fact that I'm writing something positive about an Epic Pictures Group film. I must go see my doctor.
The theme, although recurrent, was not bad, but the film as Such performances, dynamics, special effects so poor, With the joust lasted 20 minutes. Mainly what killed the film were the performances, too forced, as imitating third-party performances, and how to present the plot, very poor, lacking in imagination and dynamism.
When the world was invaded by underground creatures that wanted to wipe out mankind from Earth, the post-apocalyptic survivors called The Day of Reckoning. Fifteen years later, people have the same signs indicating that a new attack is coming and they seek out shelter for protection. What will happen to mankind this time?"Day of Reckoning" is another SyfY Channel garbage with a lame and senseless story and awful computer-generated imagery. The plot begins with no explanation or character development. Then the viewer sees a teenager (Tyler) jeopardizing his family and friends with a stupid unexplained attitude. There is a fight to survive from his family and friends and nobody misses the death of his mother's girlfriend. Then his uncle and aunt die and nobody grieves. In the end they laugh as if they were on the beach of in a picnic, forgetting those who died. But the worst is that the appalling creatures that destroy the world are easily killed by salt and saltwater. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): Not Available
The good points:1 It takes itself seriously, it is not a daft parody of science fiction like Sharknado.2 Interesting premise - millions of monsters from deep beneath the Earth's crust rise up world wide during some eclipses to eat people.3 Good dialogue and acting. Generally not bad direction and editing.4 Several types of monster (avian, bovine, humanoid, small worm things, giant worm things) suggest a subterranean ecosystem somewhere.5 Okay CGI. Vast hordes are depicted with conviction. Close-up hand to hand battles, less so.The problems:1 There is no attempt to understand or explain the creatures, which a sci-fi or horror film ought to try to do. Some people think they are literal demons, which some people would, but why would subterranean creatures react to a total eclipse they cannot possibly detect? Is it because they really are supernatural? I can see why cold would bother them but why salt? Salt is a traditional weapon against magical threats, again suggesting a supernatural nature. They decay rapidly into red mulch when dead but nobody mentions this, making me think this was added at the CGI stage and was not in the script.2 Just one is seen at night apparently either dead or paralysed, but mysteriously still intact. Nothing is made of this potentially intriguing episode.3 Several action scenes are missing short vital events necessary to make the scenes flow and make sense. Easily fixable, so why weren't they? Was it edited in a rush?It still manages to be one of the best SyFy channel movies.
