geomac39 I am going to have to stop picking DVD's on their cover graphics, which was the case for EPOCH. This is a comedy ? yes ? must be because I laughed a lot. EPOCH is not just a stereotype, but a STEREOTYPE of a stereotype. Lets see what I can remember..... alien chamber with long threads of vapour inside, check. Entities a copy of the ones from ABYSS, check. Ethereal off key male voices, intermittent kettle drums with the odd bass drum to raise tension, check. Thuggish trigger happy US rangers invading a sovereign nation, check. Incompetent officers at loggerheads, check. A nuclear weapon with red number countdown, check. A scientist trying to defuse such bomb with a Swiss Army knife,check. The artifact collapsing with giant rocks falling down ( Indiana Jones, the Mummy etc. ) Aliens deciding that we are worth saving eventually, check. Last, but not least, a virgin pregnancy. I watched it all the way through ignoring the "turkey meter " warning horn. I don't normally do this so it MUST have some entertainment value which I am unable to fathom. Over to you, folks !

bonejones00 The movie's plot, though rather hard to follow at times has some real potential in it. The acting was far better then many I have seen in other made for TV movies and the special effects were not bad at all. The plot itself is extremely deep and can require too much thought for those looking to watch a regular sci-fi flick but there is too much left out for those looking to see a complex movie with answers. Had this project been taken up by a larger studio it could easily have been a great sci-fi hit that would last generations.In conclusion, I recommend the movie for anyone who is looking for a decent flick to watch in the summer hours when you may not have anything else to do.

Makaroni This movie is a huge mish-mash of ideas from other sci-fi movies. It's about an alien object that does....something. It's never really explained. But the army wants to destroy it for some reason, which doesn't make any sense. Then suddenly, it's going to destroy the human race, again for a reason that doesn't make any sense. Then some people kiss and the machine thinks "Oh, they kiss. Maybe I shouldn't destroy them." La La La La, end of story. Toss in a cliche "I'm mysteriously pregnant" ending, a few religious references for the Left Behind crowd and top it all off with some of the WORST acting and dialogue I've seen since Power Rangers. This movie sucks.

fictionalman Why are most of the Sci-Fi Channel's 'original' films grades B? Can't they for once make something good? It seems that they spend all the production money on CGI effects. I can imagine what the shooting script must have looked like for this film. The first ten opening pages would show references to CGI effects, then a few lines of dialogue from some characters, then a few more pages devoted to CGI then a few more lines of dialogue.etc. Is this what science fiction films are coming to? They are going to look as if two 14 year olds in their parent's attic wrote them? This was another one of those lame films the Sci Fi channel expect sci fi fans to mindlessly eat up. That gives sci fi fans a bad name. Wake up SCI-FI Channel!!! You want CGI? Go see Day After Tomorrow.
