david-haigh "...I don't know!"This simple exchange from the film sums up this appalling film. Appalling. There are no redeeming features. Well, one of the women is quite hot (Nya). Everyones' accents are all over the place. Acting is very basic (apart from a black guy). The plot doesn't make sense. The science doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The special effects don't make sense. Nothing makes sense. Oh, France gets destroyed and there's this hot girl. That's it in terms of the good stuff. Very slow/special needs people might find it entertaining for a few minutes max but someone should make sure they know how to change the channel/hit the stop button.

twatchy This stinker is right up there with Titanic 2 although the special effects are marginally better I guess. The holes in the plot are bigger than those created by the collider - too many to mention but I especially loved the way a doctor and paramedics were waiting outside the undamaged hospital for our hero to hand over some injured kiddies while 30 million people had just been wiped out. It seems that emergency services weren't overwhelmed at all and the deadly radiation our heroic team suited up for quickly vanished so the porno actresses, erm I mean "top scientists" could display their own enhanced colliders in fetching cammo singlets. No further comment is required about Marina Sirtis' atrocious "southern" accent.It's a shame because the basic premise of this woeful waste of time would probably make quite a good movie and Luke Goss should be given a chance to redeem himself with a decent plot, script and half-way competent cast.

thesteg Forget arguing about the acting - this movie should have been named "The Killer Teenage Mutant Supercollider That Blew-Up the Earth" or something along those lines. Categorizing this as a stupid movie would be an insult to all stupid movies in existence. At one point even my 9-year old nephew said, "Why does only one man know how to fix the problem instead of 50 or a hundred people?" I just shrugged and told him I did not think the movie was going to get any better. I was right.There was never a moment of excitement, drama, anticipation, happiness, sadness, or other entertainment quality throughout this dreadful film. There was only the prolonged agony of enduring the immeasurable ludicrous science and technical mistakes, the incredibly lazy screen writing, and the shameful directing that resulted in a truly horrid movie.If I find this DVD on sale for 10 cents, I will buy about 25 of them (That will be $2.50 at the register), toss the discs, and reuse the empty cases (I will be wearing a fake beard and sunglasses so no one in the store will recognize me and think I would actually be buying these for gifts).

RovingWriter The script may have stunk a bit, but the point of the movie is that thinking of Arabs as terrorists first and human beings second is a big mistake that can lead us into a major disaster for humanity. I actually enjoyed much of the movie even though I was tempted to fast forward the tape to see how it ended. Marina Sirtis' character, Paxton, started acting a little odd, I wondered if her character was somehow supposed to be in a separate conspiracy to "trap" the supposed terrorists. In the end, I didn't see any evidence other than a forced attempt to belabor the point of the movie. Incidentally, as others have mentioned, the Large Hadron Collider isn't going to create a black hole...that's just scaremongering talk that made for an interesting movie but not very good science.
