Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Philippa All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

WiseDragonGirl Having read the reviews before actually watching it, I noticed how many felt it was a bad movie. I'm glad I still decided to watch it. Yes, it's a B-movie and the special effects weren't good. There's little else to say about that, the special effects just left much to be desired. On top of that some things happened that didn't make much sense or were just unneeded filler. If you look past that, the story itself is a decent one and not too cliché. While there are things that were expected to happen, there were still some unexpected turns of events and some questions that were only answered at the ending. The characters are decent, some are a bit cliché, but they were put down decently and it's easy to sympathize with the main character. The overall ending may not be much of a surprise, one aspect of it hits surprisingly hard, even if it's one you see coming from the moment the scene starts.Overall, if you can look past special effects and the inconsistencies, it's a movie worth watching.

nalders This movie really doesn't deserve the bashing it's received. Granted, it's a TV movie. Talent and production value are correspondingly lower than a better-funded Hollywood project, but they did very well with what was available.Dean Cain plays his usual character; slightly bland, but generally likable. Bettina Zimmermann and Joanna Taylor are both very hot, and turn in decent performances, to boot. Special effects are nothing special, but better than most TV movies and some Hollywood films. I thought the premise was interesting, too, although they didn't have time to explore it the way a mini-series might have. Still, I think they did a fine job of addressing the major points.There was an acceptable level of action. It could have been better, but then again that is usually the case.The pacing was actually excellent on this, never bogging down. It takes enough time to do the scene, but doesn't linger (except for a brief 'villain's exposition' scene that seems overdone, mainly because he's rambling pointlessly. I could have done without that.) All in all, a solid film.

lowmant I think this movie was worth watching for the entertainment value alone. Others have really ragged on it as being so bad they could hardly watch it and how it was so hard for them to even write their review comments. Well to them I ask this : What did you expect? You knew it was a "B" class movie and starred Dean Cain. All his foreign made films are about the same style. I like them; he is not a bad actor and all his co-stars were OK too. The thing people forget when they watch "B" movies is that they have to make the movie on a very low budget and make the payroll too. Now I say if the movie has a good story line and the plot is coherent and you like the stars then it is a movie worth the time to watch. Besides it goes along with the other class "A" movies made this pass year on the same type subjects "Category 7" and "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Deep Impact" etc. This make a nice addition to anyones collection. It may not be the best one of your collection but I have seen a lot worst. Dean Cain has appeared in many movies of this type and if you like this one at all you should try a search on his name for the others he made, I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

mcgriswald This movie starts off with a decent premise: a meteor has hit the Earth in Europe and cast the world into a perpetual winter.The Northern Hemisphere is in an ice age and the equatorial areas are in a state of perpetual gloom and rain. Three years after the event, its determined that someone is controlling a satellite that has the capacity to destroy what remains of the Earth's population. A "crack" team is sent in to the impact zone in Germany to determine where the signals controlling the satellite are originating.So far so good, right? Wrong.The producers of this movie decided to destroy the promise of this movie by inserting terrible dialog, huge and obvious plot holes, glaring continuity errors, and so many logical and factual inconsistencies that the movie makes your head spin.Plot changes occur without any rhyme or reason; its as if they fired and hired writers but had already shot the scenes from the original writer and decided to leave it in the film.Heres a few clunkers: When the team is initially inserted via a special cargo plane carrying some weird airborne tank thingy, there appears to be about 8 crewmembers including the 4 main characters, but as they run into difficulties later in the movie, there always seems to be a couple extras who magically appear to be shot or garroted from behind, etc.When they meet with the subterranean denizens of Berlin, they all speak English, and are relatively unconcerned by this arrival of the first outsiders in three years. They are all wearing spiffy new ski jackets, yet burning trash in barrels like a bunch of Bowery bums.Dean Cains character takes several shots from a 9mm glock, yet is able to engage in hand-to-hand combat, and avoid falling from a catwalk by hanging on with one arm. During the same scene, he applies a tourniquet to his arm, (the same one he uses to dangle from the catwalk) and it disappears just before his second fight with "The Bitch who Wouldn't Die".Later, we see Cain in the closing shots wearing the same parka, which has miraculously had its bullet holes and bloodstains removed.All in all, I can only recommend this film to film students as a caution on how not to make a movie.
