Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Boba_Fett1138 Judging by looking at this movie, the film-makers must have thought they had gold. The original source material seemed good enough to create and interesting and deep thought provoking sci-fi movie with. I seemed however like they had no idea how to handle its concept properly. Instead they threw in some adventure and lame action to make the movie a good and interesting one but the end result is far from satisfying.It's an obviously cheaply made movie, with low production values, which can be seen back in its small sets and the unimaginative look of the overall movie, which is especially disappointing for a movie of its sort. Yes you can call this a typical straight to DVD B-movie.What makes the movie all the more worse are the acting performances. Some people should just never be allowed to work in the movie business. This movie does really have some untalented people uttering their lines in front of the camera in it. The movie still has David Carradine though, which always adds some pleasure to any movie.The movie is just never any exciting or spectacular to watch. The movie could had raised some thought provoking elements and themes but at fails at every attempt to do so. The action and more adventurous elements of the movie are also far from good enough to still consider this movie a watchable one.The story is being told too messy and without any imagination really. Seems like director Gwyneth Gibby has no passion for the genre really and also certainly no experience in it. There really is no reason why you should ever watch this clumsy little movie.4/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/

pseudonymous-uontu This isn't a big movie---it's a simple story without twists and dilemmas and haunted complicated emotional bits. But it's Asimov, so you should expect nothing else. It's like a lengthy scifi short story, something you would find in an anthology.The movie made me really happy, though. They use a lot of archetypal sets---the archaeological dig with snake pits and drinks-in-the-afternoon bars with sand floors and monkeys (iirc someone was even paid in coins kept in a leather bag), the expensive glass building with indoor waterfall, the musty religious temple with lots of columns, the spooky cave lit by kerosene-dipped rag torches. One might say it's unimagineative, but I found it a comforting way to communicate familiar ideas quickly and effortlessly.I don't want to hear any hog-slaver about how the movie was cheap because it was set in India---I thought the production quality was completely adequate. And I certainly won't entertain this nonsense about Jennifer Burns not being ''convincing'' whatever that means. Jennifer Burns completely made the movie for me. I thought she was open and gracious. You should keep this movie within reach at all times. Watch it with some ice cream and strawberries once you get home after embarrassing yourself by crying on the subway. (again.)

jdm1 Nightfall is one of, if not the, most loved Science Fiction stories of all time. The late Dr. Asimov produced over 500 books, in virtually all genres, which complimented his role as an educator at some of the nation's finest universities. Also widely known as the most effective popularizer of science during his time, Asimov's work Nightfall dishes out extremely cleverly played challenges to the audience's mind.The acting was very entertaining taken in context, and good for a chuckle if the budget-constraint made the somber tone seem a little corny. If the budget and special effects of the original recording's era aren't overly impressive, attention to the storyline leads to a meaningful movie-going experience.

gpmac I was very disappointed by this movie. I thought it could have been a lot better. I mean, talk about low budget...it was so low, that it would have been better reading the book and coming up with your own imaginative world...Acting was absolutely terrible and the storyline was very bleak! David Carradine really made a mistake throwing himself into this one. Read the book, don't even waste your time with the movie...Isaac Asimov must be turning in his grave on this one!
