Chad Vieth My eyes! the goggles do nothing! Just watched this on Netflix, well finished it. I wonder why, because normally I love destruction-porn, but this was just bad. With the actors, I have to say I have enjoyed them in the past, but this is just horrid. I am tired of these end of the world BS movies, which we sudden fix in the last 5 minutes, and move on. No, depth, no character building. I felt I caught something 3 episodes after the character defining arc. The daughter was predictable, actually all of them were predictable. Avoid this turd like the plague. It might be Syfy, if not good god, someone stop crap like this.

alistairc_2000 Well I caught this drivel on Netflix. What was good about it had a good idea. Though it was done in slow motion mode. The plot is ludicrous. Eco terrorist do not want big business to succeed with their aim of giving the world free power without the use of fossil fuels. This is eco terrorists we are talking about. You would think they would be queueing up to help them get the project off the ground.So these naughty do something at a pivotal moment and mayhem erupts. A lot of the ideas behind this come from the reboot of the British TV series Doomwatch.If they had made it an hour and a half dropped some of the clichéd dialogue this might have been quite good fun. In the end it was a case of I have seen this done before better.

ThomasJeff I love Christina Cox, her performances are always amazing and she's clearly the star of this show. However, the plot is nonsensical and irrational. The scenes are nice and special effects are not bad.But the biggest problem with this series is the PLOT and MESSAGE being sent to people that is completely the wrong message to send to people. Your typical UNORIGINAL Frankenstein message "Stop playing God, scientists!" This is by far the dumbest, anti-intellectual message movies/films have spread throughout the decades.Without spoiling anything... Scientists discover a source of energy but certain things happen that cause disasters and it simply logically doesn't follow why they would happen in other random areas. It also doesn't make sense that they can't just pull the plug. It further doesn't make sense why an evil CEO would risk jail time and possible catastrophic results just to not have a "bad quarterly review." A lot of plot holes are included in the movie, such as the Russian-sub-plot as to how something could be kept under wraps.Essentially the conclusion the filmmakers want you to draw is: Science is crazy, magical, and accidents "might" happen. Which is simply the antithesis of what science is about and accidents such as this never happen on this scale in scientific experiments by scientists. There's a reason they do pre-tests to pre-tests to tests, and in this film, they act like even those pre-tests can go wrong.The worst "energy-related disaster" in our REAL world, such as chernobyl, was because of engineers who didn't know what they were doing. It was because of lack of safety protocols, lack of computer automated systems, and outdated equipment that was UNDERFUNDED. That is the lesson to learn from Chernobyl, when you don't invest in a technology for increasing its safety standards.So if anyone thinks that they should draw the lesson of: "We shouldn't fund such experiments, we don't fully understand!" -- That is the incorrect lesson. The mere act of not-funding-something, is the lesson to be drawn from real life events like Chernobyl, because machines and systems get too old; protocols become outdated; and these technologies never improve and become safer.As for the "Don't play God" nonsense, why would God give humans the ability to do these things if he didn't want you to discover them? Or why would he allow millions of people to die, in such a "failed experiment" just to teach a simple lesson about that? It makes no sense logically or philosophically, and filmmakers should stop trying to create conclusions for their audience that they probably never even asked a philosopher about.

cbmuzik3000 This movie was actually a lot better than I imagined it would be. I am extremely critical of films, but for some odd reason, this one had a bit of this, a bit of that, and just enough something to make me watch watch it all the way through. This was no better than a good B movie and far better than some network television shows people think are so awesome. Some actors were good, others need to go back to acting school...but Steve Weber anchored this movie just enough to make it watchable. Treat Williams also made it OK to watch as well. I was actually looking for it to be a bit longer. The storyline could have been developed a bit more, but other than that, sci-fi buffs can sit through this one. This movie has the making of a much longer mini-series, imo. Come on, who doesn't want to see Ms Cox run around om film?
