Ketil Lidahl Me and my girlfriend got to talking about Nicolas Cage this evening and decided to find the crappiest movie we could based on star ratings from IMDb in recent time without him in it, and then watch it for some reason. This one met all the requirements. Thanks guys.Watching this movie made me wonder if crap-movies is a genre, because it seems like the people who make these films really try. We even watched the credits, which listed a surprising amount of people being involved in the making of this one, like the the three chefs they had on set, and the guy driving some heavy equipment. Not surprisingly was the fact that the movie only had one melody, the one from all the shows on the history channel which is scientifically proved to make anything exiting.Oh, and he did NOT say "Great Scott" just there, he just did not do that....and that make-out scene at the end with the dad looking like he was in a bit of a "rapy" mood followed by sudden credits...all gold.Thanks Obama :)

clarkmick33 Watched this movie while on my exercise bike and I am not sure what was more painful - my burning thighs or my burning eyes. Signs of why it should be called DISASTER! - Signs of the coming poo storm 1. The whole movie looks like it was shot in rural Canada - you want me to believe you are in Peru try not have Canadian Pine trees in the scene behind you. 2. The graphics were rendered by Community College students. 3.The actors and actresses all play typical one dimensional characters. Teenage soon - aggressive hates his Dad, Dad loves his son but can't communicate to him. 4. Roping in Christopher Lioyd to play none other than a scientist - and a drunk one at that! I reckon he was really drunk for the roll once he realized what a crap movie he was on. Oh the things we do to pay the bills dear Christoper.5. Plot holes filled with poo 6. The so called Dept of Defense unit act as though they are managing an order at McDonalds. 7. Car out runs a tsunami!!!!! 8 The Dept of Defense leader goes in ALONE!? in the final showdown and tells the heli piolt to f off like he is some badass then he proceeds to fight like a school kid. While the main lead scientist who is suppose to be a big nerd seems to fight like he was a pro wrestler when the time comes for it. 9. Most "events" involve using giant fans to blow lots of dirt around - waiting for when poo would hit the fan. Tornado can suck up a woman but cant lift a truck or anything around them.. 10. Syfy channel funding.I can see the ambition but its better to pool some more money to make a better movie (please spend more money on FX) than produce little poo storms :-)There is a scene where they threw in a saying from Back to the Future "Great Scott" Dr Emmitt Brown says this on the classic "Back to the Future"I think the actors all knew this was one big joke of a movie and where to busy trying to impress Christopher Lloyd than worry about the poo storm of a movie they were on.

ScottM2753 The only reason I watched this to begin with was because of some of the actors in it. Christopher Lloyd; Joel Gretsch - The 4400; Aaron Douglas - BSG; Ben Cotton - BSG: Blood & ChromeI'm sorry I did now. This film had plot holes completely out of control! Many so glaring that they make this film hard to even watch. For instance, one in which they are going to retrieve some parts of the Iraqi tablets that had been sold to Christopher Lloyd which the female scientist found the address online as being "only about 90 miles away. So they hop in Ben Cotton's vehicle, drive for a matter of minutes, yet ANOTHER catastrophe hits in the form of a gigantic (and very fake looking) tornado in which they crash the vehicle. The female scientist is swept away and the survivors walk for a short period of time and bam! They made it most of the 90 miles on FOOT! Wow! They must have been speed-walking!Another ridiculous part of the movie is the el-cheapo rental helicopter that the evil DOD agent played by Aaron Douglas chases them around with... It looked like a Robinson R22, which is DEFINITELY not what the government would be using. They would have swamped the area looking for the "fugitives" with blackhawks and the like. All in all, it's a terrible movie, with terrible writing that not even veteran actors could make any better. My advice... stay away from this one!

Baruch Zeichner This film is actually brilliant in a rather odd way. It is a great example of what a home made low budget film can be. The story isn't half bad as apocalyptic dramas go, and it is chock full of familiar faces from numerous great sci-fi shows. The writing is exactly what you would expect, slightly stilted dramatic over-the-top. What really works, though, is that, because of the low budget, it is shot almost all on location, and much of the plot is explored through inference and implication, so there is some intelligence involved. Moderate use of pretty good special effects helps to ground the story. This is not a fancy franchise flick, nor is it particularly great in terms of it's originality or message, but all in all, somehow it works.
