Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

FrogGlace In other words,this film is a surreal ride.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Solomon Terra This is definitely not one for those to whom production values are a major component of their enjoyment (or lack thereof) of a movie, yet it's not a bad story for those who know how to tolerate such shortcomings in the interest of a not-bad story and a decent effort in spite of the handicaps. Much as I liked it, it was in spite of its shortcomings and not because of any 'charm' such things can sometimes impart. Virtually every component that goes into movie-making is what you might consider "sub-par", so don't go into it expecting anything terrific, but yet I still liked it. I'll be honest in that I probably wouldn't have paid much to rent it - but it might be worth a $1 rental or something similar. It's one of those kinds of stories where while the movie may not be the best depiction of it, the concept itself involves some sufficiently troubling philosophical/ideological questions so that if you're willing to look past the movie's surface "production values" and deeper into the core concept, it might actually be satisfying for you on that level alone. It doesn't get you into that mode automatically - that would be "high production values" for that - but if you're that type of person already and you -want- to peer into the philosophical realm, it shouldn't be too difficult to do.The more crucial elements of the story were depicted "good enough" to let you get into it as deeply as you want to, with the exception of the distractingly cheap CGI. Fortunately, there aren't too many places where you absolutely have to ignore it, just enough of them to be a bit unpleasantly jolting for just a second or two here and there. The nuclear detonations were actually pretty bad - they appear to have forgotten to texturize them, so they were just shiny, "Stargate shimmer effect" textures on mushroom-cloud shaped CGI renderings. The motion & shape weren't too shabby, but the absence of actual texture was rather distracting. Fortunately, there are only two of them and they're relatively far apart. The plumes of smoke and "raging fires" are the only other cheap effects, and they're only mildly overused in a few parts, not so much as to ruin the whole experience if you're not too picky. Shortcomings aside, I -was- somewhat impressed with the complexity of the "carnival"-like scene about 30 minutes or so from the end. That was actually surprisingly complex and well-choreographed as far as the outside scene with dozens of actors. That was probably the most impressive scene of the whole film, production-wise. Also, while not giving a spoiler for the ending, I will say that in spite of the rather cheesy lead-up to the final scene, it -did- end on an interestingly profound note. That, I suspect, was the writing of Mary Shelly -finally- being made obvious (admittedly, it's a bit hard to credit this to Shelly through most of it - some elements are clearly her, but only if you know what you're looking for - the final line, though, is classic her, imho).I don't apologize for movies, but I may sound like I'm doing that here to a degree as I just happened to like this one in spite of the things others justifiably loathed. It's cheaply made and that's obvious, but enough of the actors, script writers and set designers actually seemed to -care- about the job they were doing that some of you will find the cheap overall experience to be worth putting up with by the time all is said and done. The flaws are obvious quickly, the strengths a little less so, but I think you should be able to know within 10-15 minutes whether or not you'll like this particular semi-stinker. A few good clips on YouTube or elsewhere on the 'net should be sufficient. :-)Enjoy - or not! I did in either case. :-)

Julie_K I am surprised! Someone read a Mary Shelley novel and decided to make this adaptation? Jesus Christ!!!The director must be a HUGE "Blair Witch Project" fan. Anyone who saw the whole movie is a hero to me, because I only saw the first 25 minutes! I laughed my head off though,this I have to say.If they were trying to make a comedy or make fun of "I am legend" it would be a great hit.But they didn't! It's not a splatter, not a cult, not sci-fi, not anything! The actors where bad (I mean not even high-school kids act like that), the sound, make-up, and the list goes on and on.In all, it was a big waste of money for the poor producer. My condolences...

davidm-14 a doomsday virus decimates the world, and a lowly Tucson hospital worker, seemingly immune, tries to make it after the world falls apart. the remaining survivors seem to be either blind or insane. he wallows in self-pity, eventually becoming a sort of vigilante. interesting from one point of view, as there aren't many horror movies shot in Arizona that i can remember, except maybe "night of the Lepus". a mixture of "the stand", "i am legend" with a little "night of the living dead" thrown in. lots of superfluous gunplay and meaningless narration. the CGI is just awful, as is the vocal dubbing, but there's some nice cinematography. not completely forgettable as a small, independent film.

ronaldprince Why would someone make such a horrid movie with $7,500? It was so bad. I laughed so hard. Truly, it has to be up there with the worst movie I have ever watched. None of the actors - Gee, if you could even call them that - had taken lessons. Imagine watching the worst possible high school play...unrehearsed. Then throw in some special-effects that South Park would laugh at. Just a riot. I will not spoil the movie, but please, why must we hear traffic going by in a city that is supposed to be free of all traffic? If this guy plans on making more films like this the public needs to be warned. Seven months of weekends isn't much time for preparing, granted. Do any of these actors plan on making careers - no - they didn't have to quit their day jobs (thank Goodness). I saw several of the same people get killed many many times over. I must say that the obscenities were at a very minimum. There was one brief nude/slashing scene. Lots of gratuitous overkill - and I mean OVERKILL....gun scenes that seemed to go on forever..kinda like a broken record. I think the actors/actresses did their own make-up and stunts.
