Peereddi I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

KentaroK This film is less than the some of its parts, but you could do a lot worse. The title and science used by the scientist are a bit iffy, and that took away from the movie a bit. It was difficult to suspend disbelief because of the fact that the script seemed to need some better thinking over.However, the visual effect were very well done, and it had a nice radio-drama feel. Not sure how to describe it. It was like if you were watching something fake but it took itself semi-seriously so that you could pretend it was real.There was news footage which was enjoyable, the actors were mostly competent in their roles... but he main character was... unemotional in delivery, and that was likely a writer/director decision but he should have been a much more emotional character, since his plot components involved being so emotional that it had a major effect on his live.Perhaps he was on mood stabilizers.In any case, 6/10 overall, I would call it a "C-" movie. I watched with friends, we had fun, and it actually let me think on how important it is to rewrite things until they shine, if you want the best quality. Don't watch this alone, or watch it if you want a great movie, or something which has a deeper effect.

johntg-278-875166 All I can say is that within one minute of the movie beginning, the hokeyness began... don't waste your time!A monster from a black hole? Give me a break!!! Feeding on electricity, well... it sort of reminded me of the Id in "The Forbidden Planet" (which was 1000x better and released in the 1950s!!!). I don't know what else to say other than it was terrible, and trying to come up with ten sentences for a review on a movie this bad is just piling more waste of time on a waste of time, so let's see if this is enough.OK, let's see; soldiers shooting bullets at an energy monster? What did they expect to happen?The main protagonist is guy whose hair is worse than that scientist in "Back to the Future", but no where near as funny looking, just dumb looking.The government knows nothing about black holes, so they propose to nuke it? Whose lame idea was it to write that in the script? All in all,everything about the movie was totally ridiculous. I'm sorry if this review doesn't pass muster, but then neither did the movie.

palomarjack No, I'm not giving this waste of time a rating either. Pretty much what has been stated already is what needed to be. In fact I wasn't even going to waste my time, but, when people pile junk science onto junk science I just can't keep still. But I digress, what this was, was a very, very sad attempt at a movie adaptation of a sci-fi novel I read in my teens in the middle-late '70s. I forget the name but remember the story because it was a "page-turner". One problem for this "movie", though", the novel was supported by a heavy dose of science fact. In a nutshell, the "hole" was an accident. The purpose was to create a "inverted" singularity, white hole, to make energy. The problem is it imploded due to some miscalculations. Now, the difference here is it was in a vacuum vessel and maintained in a magnetic vessel, too. The only thing that could be concluded that what was feeding it was zero point energy and eventually it imploded the vacuum vessel and began to sink into the ground and take the magnetic vessel with it, to a point. But, by that time the "team" and our "hero" were miles away due to radiation from the singularity. Ultimately what was done to was place a ring of large high powered artillery around it by a heroic suicide mission and they were set to fire within milliseconds of each other and shutdown of the magnetic containment, literally overloading the event horizon and causing it to re-invert. Without magnetic containment, the re-inverted singularity detonated killing all, including the team and our hero, within dozens of miles and turned Chicago into a mile deep hemispherical glass-lined crater. Better than the alternative, but pretty total. Obviously a drama based on the book, We Almost Lost Chicago, the account of the reactor accident during the Manhattan Project. No, no monster, unless you count ignorance as a monster. Now, this is what I was hoping for, but, what did I get? A stupid monster, aaah-gain. But..., NBC and the Sci-Fi channel want monsters, so, they get monsters. Even if it meant the motion picture was going to stink, they got the damn monster. And all they did was make the giant snake/insect/alligator/ into an electricity monster. Oh. By the way, if energy cannot escape from a black hole...? Well, you get my meaning.About the junk science posted by another author, Dr_Deadhorse, who claims to be a scientist; It takes a stellar mass more than three times that of our sun to implode into a black hole. How are you going to get one from the Large Hadron Collider when the energy produced in the largest experiment it will support will hardly light a reading lamp? The only thing you've got to be afraid of, sir, is your own stupidity. I've got a suggestion, stick to global warming and the Coast to Coast AM radio show and leave "Real Science" to people who ware grownup pants.Sorry folks, but as you can tell, I really despise junk science along with "junk science fiction". Don't be afraid of the LHC, it can only hurt you if you picnic next to the experiment, in the vacuum vessel it's contained in. Probably won't happen, huh?

wlee-12 There is a scene in this movie where the main character is driving in this van. Most of St.Louis has been destroyed and there is mass hysteria, widespread panic...He calls his ex-wife and daughter and frantically tells them to stay put, he will come and get her. In the next shot we see his van slowly roll up to a stop sign on a quiet suburban street and he STOPS AT THE STOPSIGN!! The city of St. Louis has been almost entirely destroyed and this dude stops at a stop sign on a quiet street while supposedly rushing to save his daughter. That is only one of a whole batch of flaws in directing. Apart from the obvious flaws this movie suffers from some of the worst acting I've ever seen. You kind of wish they would nuke all these people and put a quick end to this quagmire.
