Thanks for the memories!

Simply A Masterpiece

Purely Joyful Movie!

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Not much to add to other reviews. Regarding SciFi, it is clearly fiction, but the science part is worse than questionable. I watched only some 30 to 40 minutes, after "missing" the beginning, and particularly the sequence from "Death becomes her".Still, I give this movie 2 stars because it made me laugh. Here are two approximate excerpts from the dialog, from memory :Son: "dad, there is a report that says this is the end of the world." - Dad: "it is much worse than you think."Agent: "The earth stopped rotating. The sun won't set". - Reply: "do not tell anyone."

I passed over watching this movie for a while because the plot seemed a bit ridiculous. Today I saw I looked it up on here and it gave a rating of 7.8 stars. I thought, "hey, maybe it's better than it seems." Guess what...nope. I could only watch the first 20 minutes before I had to shut it off. The acting and dialogue are appalling. The script is a mess. I cannot believe anyway wasted money making this. I would suggest you don't bother. Apparently I did't type enough, so I suppose I'll go on to say that there didn't seem to be much of a hook to the story. I was not drawn in at all. I wish I could say there was a saving grace, but there wasn't one. It's just a jumbled mess, from the script to the acting to CGI to the character development...and so on. I love sci-fi (not SyFy). BTW, whomever changed the name to SyFy should be smacked. Anyway, have a good day.

I had the 'opportunity' to watch this movie a couple of weeks ago and I could not believe how bad it was. It was so bad that I actually took the plunge to register just to speak my piece about how bad it was. This movie makes 'Plan 9 From Outer Space' look Oscar worthy. The science in this movie is absolutely horrid and there is no logic to it at all. They spent five bucks making this movie and all of it went into the special effects budget. Nothing went into the writing of the script. Most SyFy originals movies are usually two hours of okay diversionary fare. Not this one as I could feel my brain rotting from the inside as I watched it. The topper was when the bad CIA guy was whacking away at the satellite dish at the end of the movie. Why he just didn't yank out the wires or push the bloody thing over is beyond me. I checked this movie out on the IMDb site to see what others said about it and to check its ranking. I could not believe that it had a 7.9 ranking. Maybe all that were involved with the making of the movie logged on and ranked it as that is the only way it could have gotten the ranking it has. If I could have given this movie a negative number I would have but I hope that my review will prevent more brain rottings like the one I had to endure.

There are so many things wrong with this movie, where to start.People with a soccer ball size hole in their chest tend to not be able to talk.Synopsis : Neutron star particle large enough and dense enough to go thru the entire earth damage our magnetosphere and stop the planet from rotating bringing on global extinction.Given the current state of astrophysics the existence of such a particle is theoretically possible but that it would cause the type of damage to our planet is not even remotely possible.Given the mass of the earth and it's sheer inertia it would take a lot more than a single particle no matter how dense to counteract that force.Then there are those rays of solar radiation that seem to make it thru the magnetosphere and slice across the earth, hitting anything with a badge when they are about to arrest the well meaning hacker teenager who only wants to expose the big evil government plot to not tell people of the impending doom.Luckily those rays don't go after the hackers dad who happens to be one of the a fore mentioned badge wearer of the Federal variety, and work together with the well meaning scientific geek'ete agent of the same variety to find a fix.All they have to do is restore the magnetosphere and push start the earths spin with two satellites... peace of cake.Enter scientist who saw the error of his ways after creating a dooms day device that will now be just the ticket to fix this sticky situation.Good thing that the scientist even while being under arrest was able to hack into the system and have his 'device' moved from a guarded warehouse to some other location.So the evil Federal agents are trying to get the device back and how do they do that.. well they shoot at the only people who know where it is.. and shockingly the scientist is shot and killed. Luckily he is able to tell his group of do-gooders the GPS coordinates of the 'Device' and some other cryptic mumbling...So the big ending battle, bad feds vs good ( scientist-geek'ete/hacker-teen/agent-Dad ) for control of the device ( satellites ). Good guys want to save the world, bad guys want to save a small section so that they can create a small green zone of safety and screw the planet nearly 7 billion people.Good thing that a non technical federal field agent could find the two wires that would make the satellite up-link work. Phew! Close one.Save the planet, save a handful of people... decisions decisions.. Funny how all the people going after the good guys would be dead if they succeed. I guess that little point went unnoticed. Silly mindless Federal agents.But once again the suns radiation comes to the rescue and smote those evil doers. Good ol' solar radiation. But it misses the main evil agent, dang it. So he manages to shoot the nice geek'ete and begins to smash the up-link. Silly evil agent didn't count on agent-dad kicking his butt, not to mention that the solar radiation always gets it's man. Poof, no more evil agent. The planet is saved and all is good. Miller time.
