StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

karenthomas61 Lexa Doig and Ian Sommerholder were very likable in their roles. They had sexy chemistry together, though the characters never consummate the attraction. Their characters had charming goodbye scene, which left things between them ambiguous and open.In fact, I would love to see them again in a romantic comedy together. The supporting cast was solid. The villain was compelling. Colin Cunningham had a wonderful comedic role in this movie.Like all SyFy original films, the special effects are a bit weak at times and the script does have a cliché or two.But this is worth watching for the Ian Sommerholder, Lexa Doig and Colin Cunningham.

Wizard-8 There's no question that "Fireball" is a very dumb movie. It starts with a flash-forward that only seems to be there to pad the running time. Some of the acting is atrocious. And there are continuity goofs, like how a vehicle is blown up with one person in it, and later a fireman says they found TWO bodies in the vehicle. But I must admit that I had a lot of fun with this movie. I like movies that show seemingly indestructible guys on a rampage, and there's plenty of rampage here. And while it may be cheap and stupid, it is never boring for an instant. Oh, for extra fun, watch this with the close-captioning on your TV turned on. Not only does the close-captioning list dialogue that isn't actually spoken by the characters, it also completely changes some dialogue as well!

JoeB131 Yup, this is typical Sci-Fi Channel. Or maybe it's SyFy Channel now. Get a crew up to Canada, pretend it's somewhere in America, have at it.To be fair, this is a step above most of its schlock.A pro-football player abuses steroids, becoming in effect a human torch. A local fire investigator and a dapper federal agent team up to stop him as he burns a swath of destruction through Canada... Err Nevada. No, Nevada, really.The tension/chemistry between Lexa Doig (who apparently figured out how to act some time between this Gem and Andromeda's well deserved cancellation!!) and the actor playing the federal agent is probably the best part of this movie. Some of the lines are kind of clever.

FletchGives Like every sci fi channel movie, Fireball has its highs and lows. Lows in sci-fi channel movies are always the special effects and the budget.That being said, I enjoyed this more than usual "monster" schlock you find on Sci Fi.I enjoyed the science of this movie as well as Lexa Doig's character as the walking textbook. As a science teacher I enjoyed the science (and the pseudo-science) of explaining a human torch. Is it possible? No. But I bought it.I also like that the the guy who played the Agent was a pretty boy instead of the usual aging-alcoholic-just divorced-john McLean-type.All in all it's worth your time if you like Sci Fi Original Movies and of those movies is one of the ones I have enjoyed more.
