I love this movie so much
Sadly Over-hyped
Great Film overall
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
ZODIAC: SIGNS OF THE APOCALYPSE is another in an endless wave of science fiction disaster movies in which the Earth is threatened by various natural disasters and super storms. This one attempts to tie the traditional disaster material in with more esoteric material, namely each of the mini-disasters being tied in to one of the 12 signs of the zodiac. There's also some mumbo-jumbo about Mayan prophecies and the like.In all other respects this is very much business as usual and as a result not very interesting. The cast members go through the motions throughout and deliver dialogue written by someone with a tin ear. The only face of interest is good old Christopher Lloyd but his role amounts to little more than a cameo. Otherwise it's the usual gamut of cheesy CGI effects, melodrama, and nonsense.
Zodiac: Signs of the Apocalypse is another of these SyFy funded disaster films. A mysterious artifact is discovered in Peru that triggers global catastrophes around the world which could destroy civilization.A rogue scientist attempts to decipher the symbols on the artifact in an attempt to unlock its secrets which is linked to signs of the zodiac and hopefully save the world from destruction.Like many of these films, its full of cheapo effects and a bad script and not so great acting. It only comes alive when Christopher Lloyd turns up and he is not in it for long, unfortunately for the movie.Its just a run of the mill disaster film for SyFy without any wit or campy fun.
Did anyone notice that while being chased by a helicopter, their Ford Flex changed into a Chevy Tahoe while turning off the road? It's about one hour and 14 minutes into the movie.The movie was OK, if I paid to watch it in the theater I was have been really upset. But if they wanted to make the movie epic (and a lawsuit), they should have had the DeLorean leaving Christopher Lloyd's home... that would have made the same quality chase scene like in "Back to the Future". The stone in the movie should have been called the Tesseract. Thet totally stole the CG from "The Avengers". I thought it was a funny movie that was like watching the movie "Sharknado". I really enjoyed how a storm had rain falling heavy yet still seemed to microwave everything but people below it. I think if you're into cheesy sy-fy movies, this is eight up your alley. They last death in the movie was great, it's like my public speaking teacher said, close strong and that's what people will remember :)
I give credit to the director for trying but don't expect much. The storyline is like any other disaster movie, only difference is how the disasters come about. The special effects are terrible and you can see clearly they are computerized and transfered - hardly believable. Some of the characters got under your skin, and Christopher LLoyd - maybe it 's his age but a disappointment from his days in Back To The Future. The actors did do a nice job carrying the movie but the special effects just didn't seem to help it - in fact it made you cringe at the way some of the effects appeared. A made for TV film for a rainy Sunday afternoon.
