Kattiera Nana I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

PodBill Just what I expected

Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

rps-2 ...with neither a whimper nor a bang but another absurdly bad movie. Actually it starts reasonably well and has some effective special effects. But it spirals downward pretty quickly, yet another repeat of the now standard Armageddon formula that has been done endless times...world faces threat (alien invasion... epidemic...giant meteor...alien invaders...killer bees...take your choice. In this case it's earthquakes.) Young guy, helped by sexy girl friend, fights his bosses to save the world...and they all live happily ever after, at least until the next sci-fi turkey. This is a Canadian movie but the good guys are all Americans. Rather than some genuine high-tech suspense, we get clichéd car chases and gun fights like some two bit white hat vs. black hat pot-boiler. (Hey guys... this is the end of the world we're talking about here. Use some imagination!!!) The Canadian producers either didn't know or decided to ignore the fact that American lawmen and military personnel cannot operate in Canada with impunity as they do here. Not quite bad enough to be good. But still pretty awful.

brodsky_donna-1 This was a bad movie made even worse by the lack of care and continuity. AJ Buckley plays a character called Eric Fox. However, in a scene in an SUV, he holds onto the door handle displaying a tattoo on the inside of his left wrist that plainly says "Joe." Now, either AJ (Joe) Buckley has the tattoo and someone missed it (make-up person and/or continuity person!?) or the character's left wrist is called "Joe" or the character has a thing for someone called "Joe."This is about typical for this movie. which did not ask us to just suspend our disbelief but also our credulity. Oh yeah . . . the SFX were shamefully cheap and hokey.

mollidew This is a TV movie so I judge it on that level. Special effects are costly and TV movies don't have those types of budgets. I am not an acting coach so I would say the acting is fine. They do have a director that tells the actors his vision of how the story should be portrayed. The beginning is very thought provoking with part of a sea having disappeared into the Earth. It moved rather quickly so I had a hard time grasping what was happening at first.A famous author, Crane, is making predictions in his books that are coming true. It is an end of times type of prophecy but I didn't hear it connected to 2012 directly. Basically there is a dark star and an interaction with an alignment of the equator of the galaxy. They don't know how it will affect the Earth but they state it will cause a lot of change. As you watch the movie, it is destroying the Earth.There is a rod that gives certain people visions and the government or what appears to be the military is trying to get hold of it. This is mostly what the chasing and shooting in the movie is about. They are chasing a woman, Brooke and a man the author passed on information to and then died. The young man is named Eric Fox and works for a publisher and has come to collect another manuscript Crane has supposedly written. It was a ruse and he left him the rod. He began to have visions when he touched it. He left them a video recording and told the both of them that it did indeed give him visions but it had a dark side, it sapped one of their life force. He also told Fox it was his birthright. Naturally he didn't know anything about his parents. Therefore it was just another piece of an extremely large puzzle. One by one cities are being decimated. The two go on a quest to save the world in twelve hours and have very little idea as to what to do. A strange girl approaches them and takes them to see her Father. He is Native American and there are symbols on rocks that they never understood. He speaks of Ancients that are supposed to have saved the planet in the past. There is a connection to Easter Island and the alignments in space. They believe there is a second set of symbols right there. He believes these people were aware of what was to come in the future. They believe with the rod and these alignments/symbols they can save the Earth.Basically from this point they are being chased to get the rod, they are trying to avoid the people chasing them, figure out what everything means and save the Earth before midnight. It is typical of doomsday types of movies. I found it entertaining but of course your usual Syfy fare, no better or worse.

gs20 I have to say that I decided to look at this while I was waiting for my wife to return from a girl party and I had absolutely nothing else to do.....otherwise I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.......that said, this movie is exactly the type of fare that has pretty much ended my viewer-ship of the SyFy channel........I mean it was so boring I found it hard to believe anyone paid for this drivel........clearly, if the zombie-like performances of the actors is any indication, the director, if there was one, phoned it in.......I mean there was a director listed but judging from the performances, i wonder.As well, I wondered who was responsible for this absolutely awful (not in a plan 9 good way) movie.......and I discovered it was from the same producers that brought us quite a bit of the worst scifi in history.......all shown with great relish on the SyFy channel of course..........the story consists of name dropping every mysterious place and every conceivable end time prophecy from the history channel.......and our heroes being chased around by the thugs of a nebulous gov't group of course, highlighted by large chunks of the earth cracking or otherwise sinking out of sight........interspersed with rehashing explanations a la Tom Hanks and describing laughingly precise visions or dreams..........all in all, really sophomoric and tiresome........very quickly, early-on tiresome.Jewel Staite was the worst i've ever seen her........sad for an actress that was fairly good when she was younger......A.J. Buckley should stick with CSI for as long as possible and save his money because if he keeps doing this sort of thing he will definitely disappear as an actor.......he is after all, a mediocre talent at best.Keep it up SyFy, keep buying this Canadian crap and you will probably disappear too.......I realize that churning out this hopelessly awful junk makes work for a lot of people and promotes North American trade and all that that entails but is it really fair to keep inflicting this crap on us, the unsuspecting public?.......of course if you put us off scifi then maybe we will appreciate wrestling and reality shows more...........if that's your plan it will not work because there are plenty of other sources of great scifi........I promise you, you won't fool me again.
