Leofwine_draca SUPERCOLLIDER is another silly SyFy Channel disaster movie about a Hadron collider going wrong and accidentally opening up another dimension which causes the Earth to be affected by all manner of natural and not-so-natural disasters. This is a Canadian production filmed in Bulgaria which gives you an idea of how cheap it is.I've seen a lot of SyFy's disaster movies but this is definitely one of the cheapest and poorest-looking. I can think of absolutely no reason that any sane viewer would want to tune in and waste their time watching this. The characters are clichéd and the interactions between them are wooden and poorly staged. The special effects scenes consist of the actors looking on as a bad CGI effect plays out in the background or in the sky. There's never a moment of realism, drama, or excitement that convinces. The only actor I recognised was Amy Bailey, who played the British princess in VIKINGS, and she must wonder why she agreed to star in this junk.

Jesse Boland This is not that other Supercolider movie that was made by the SyFy channel, this one is actually better very barely but better, especially in the effects. The story is one of alternate dimensions, and sort of Time travel-ee. This is not a smart movie though, there are no end to the simple mistakes that they have made trying to make the 2 different worlds possible. The basic story works, however from the moment we enter this other dimension, or parallel Earth it is obvious that it could not possibly be real. There is a huge leap that you have to take to believe that this world could possibly exist (like the dark universe in Star Trek but not as well thought out), the world is on fire, and tornados are ripping apart buildings in down town Kiev or where ever the sound stage is, and you are forced to believe that a civilization has actually been able to grow to the same level as ours (nearly). So in my opinion the production quality is just barely passable because of the poor set's that look only moderately larger than doll houses, with 6-8 inch curbs. (You need to have an advance crew check things before you get to the set after being locked into a contract to work there.) However the acting is passable as you can tell that even though some of the actors appear just as mixed up as the story, they really do seem to be trying to make things work, trying to make a street 10 feet wide appear to be a full sized street. I really don't recommend this for more than a laugh, and filler on a rainy weekend, and by no means should you pay more than $1 to see it ever, but if you are a fan of movies made by companies like Asylum, and SyFy channel, then you might Enjoy this more than I did.

ulrichburke It starts off LOOKING like it's gonna be a genre flick - accident happens, hero knows how to cancel out accident, there's 90 minutes of headless-chickenry from the other characters getting in hero's way, hero finally gets past them all and saves the day.... But then it changes into a VERY neat alternate-reality movie which - MAYBE SPOILER ALERT,DIDN'T KNOW IF IT WOULD BE OR NOT - and this is the bit that impressed me - USES its low budget to great effect by having the whole 'city' filled with broken buildings, country living in fear of the weather. The atmosphere's great.SFX - now I think they could have done better with those, budget or no, I've seen no-budget movies (Humanity's End, Project London) with awesome SFX. But they're TV-passable. Also, there's a cellphone they could have used far better (NOT a spoiler, I hope!) But overall the story's great. The acting's NOT as bad as people are saying. The story's a lovely sci-fi story (roll with the science, it's not TOO bad) and sod the above guys, it kept me gripped the whole time. In fact I've watched it 3 times now and enjoyed it. If they redid the SFX using the Project London/Asylum/Humanity's End guys, they could have a minor cinematic hit on their hands (and used the cellphone better!) But overall a very respectable piece of sci-fi. You lot've been spoiled by Hollywood blockbusters. Asylum? Which I know this movie ISN'T - give them a chance. I've seen a bunch of pretty darned good Asylum movies in various genres (OK, a few clunkers, but all studios have those.)2 REALLY GOOD Asylum movies? 7th Voyage of Sinbad (cinema hit should've-been) and The Haunting (lovingly crafted atmosphere.) Those guys've got tons better since they started, don't knock 'em! (I own 30 legit. DVDs) ulrichburke

Paul Magne Haakonsen "Supercollider" started out interestingly enough, then the air seeped out of the balloon quite fast and the movie turned unfathomably boring and ridiculous.The idea of the movie did have potential, but it was really badly put to the screen. The story is about a machine that accidentally causes a distortion in time and space, creating a new reality and thrusting people into this new reality to a bleak and broken world.I suppose it was the script and the direction of the movie that took a blow and caused the movie to crash down a steep hill abruptly and without warning.As for the acting, well it was adequate at least. Just don't expect award-winning performances here.All in all, then "Supercollider" was sort of a waste of time, because it turned really stupid really fast, and it just lost all appeal and any sense of coherent and believable storyline. I found myself ending up with my phone in hand, because the movie failed to keep my interest fairly quickly and never really managed to get back on track."Supercollider" gets a mere 2 out of 10 stars.
