Artdoag2 Okay, so this movie, shot on location in Europe, was direct to video. The special effects are passable and the plot will mostly pass muster. Great to see Billy D, David Keith, and Angel Boris on screen. While E-E doesn't break any new ground by recycling themes from Alien, The Rock, and Independence Day, as well as trying to pass off clearly European actors/extras as US soldiers, the plot point were interesting enough to keep me hooked. Also we get a break some seeing the same old familiar actors of A-list Hollywood populate the screen, a welcome selling point for me.The worst part for me was the *terrible* recreation of UH-60 Black Hawk cabin/seating area. OMG the producers built massively unrealistic studio sets to stand in for the interior. Quite blatantly cheap-o!

ozthegreatat42330 While this film was not the film the original was it was still entertaining and David Keith was still on his game. The plot did repeat a great deal of the first film but with interesting differences. I would like to have known who the actor was who played the son, David, which was not listed in the film's credits for some reason. The effects were excellent and it is always a treat to see Billy Dee Williams in action. As always the Torus effect was amazing. This film would really have been something if presented on an Imax screen. The villain, Doyle was the one weak link in the film. He was too whiny to be credible and did not seem very threatening, just dumb.This is a good film to waste an hour and a half on.

Dooms247 Quite literally, this movie was laughable. The acting is atrocious, my friends and I were busting up laughing in every single scene. It was fairly entertaining, actually, it is the sort of movie that will end up on Mystery Science Theatre 4000 in about 20 years. It looks like they blew all of their mid-level budget on the computer effects scenes, which are decent. The rest of the movie takes place in and out of various tents, and the Torus... which looks suspiciously like a laser tag arena that they rented for a few hours one afternoon. The plot is silly and obvious, the religious overtones are blatant to the point of being insulting. If you want to see a melodramatic cheesy sci-fi movie, this one delivers in spades.The hero looks like the Fat Elvis version of David Hasselhoff. Enough said.

vidalsdauphin Epoch: Evolution is nowhere near as good as the original, although David Keith and Billy Dee Williams do wonders with the week script. The original was better in every possible way, especially acting wise. The movie was filmed in Bulgaria to save movie and most of the cast had to their voices dubbed over. The special effects are decent, but for it's time and miniscule budget Epoch was able to pull off much better visuals. While the original had a fair amount of drama, and a few thrilling scenes Epoch 2 is dull.
