Lack of good storyline.

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

A meteor crashes into the Earth. Marcus King (Kim Coates) tracks it and leads a group of people into the bunker facility. Some ten years later, the facility is failing and supplies are dwindling. Marcus' daughter Melissa King leads a squad to scavenge only to find murderous mutants and suspicious survivors.For some reason, the only capable actor, Kim Coates, disappears after the first five minutes. The fighting is weak. The acting is nothing special. It's low budget sci-fi TV. The mutants look cheesy. The production is strictly leftovers from other TV crews. They get to play around with a couple of sets but it's more sad than good camp.

I switched on it for i think five minutes to see something like this: Bunker doors open Group of young actors step out wearing pristine military gear, one actor says some dumb exposition like "been down there ten years, would rather die than spend another day down there" all proceed to speak perfect cliché military lingo to some old guy father figure "ten-four we got a fox-trot code 9"(something the old guy taught them?), something really stupid about implausible & impracticable solar panels happens, A military vehicle appears out of nowhere and apparently "purrs like a kitten" somehow after 10 years of presumably being totally inactive.They drive up to a house, guy checks radiation levels or something dumb, something with two arms and walking on two legs opens a door and makes a noise, everyone starts uncontrolled firing at it for absolutely no reason(something the old guy taught them?). Another obvious human pops around a corner and they also shoot it for no reason."what is this?" looks down at obvious human body "SOME KINDA WERID ANIMAL OR SOMETHING" touches it, shows man with green face paint, "raaar" opens eyes with terrible CGI effect.that's when I changed the channel. My brain couldn't take anymore. I feel bad for anyone who continued to watch it.How do movies like this get made? How do you get a budget to make a first draft script made into a movie? I've literally read better scripts online that will never be made into a film.I can see this being on an 8 movie pack in a wall-mart 5$ garbage bin, but how the hell did it make it to an actual movie channel on satellite television? Mind boggling. It literally made me mad.

In a word, pathetic! A bunch of Canadian actors trying to play US American militia and doing so without any charisma whatsoever. I watched this over the course of three evenings as I could not endure viewing it in one sitting. Why is it that Canadian movies rarely, if ever, use Canada as the backdrop of the story. Telefilm Canada obviously needs to re-evaluate its requirements for tax credits given to film producers that Canadian tax payers ultimately pay for. I digress . Essentially, this is a story of "Armageddon" however, not with the big screen production values we're used to but, with a YouTube fan film production, or just slightly better. Have zero issue with strong female characters however, why do strong female characters have to be empowered at the expense of the male characters. Do directors and producers really feel the only way to make a womans' character strong is to weaken her male counterpart? Really? Isn't that rather sexist to both genders? Next, I don't know why Kim Coates, who is otherwise a great actor, would associate himself with this tripe. Bad move Kim. This is some of the worst acting I've ever seen. Holly Deveaux should really plan on a fall back career, perhaps as a pole dancer, as her acting is just awful and so unrealistic. Amber Marshall is the girl from the CBC's "Heartland". Amber, may I suggest you go back to the heartland, leave the acting to real actors please. I'm not familiar with the other actors , so I'll just say their performance is lacking at best. Perhaps this is the product of terrible directing as well. And it is awful. One and a half million dollars was the estimated budget for this movie, and it shows in every aspect of this film. The money would have been far better spent giving it to a charity. It always is however. So, if it's late one night and you can't sleep, watch this movie. NO. JUST KIDDING!. Stay in bed , your dreams will probably be far more entertaining and with better continuity than this garbage.

Terrible acting by people you actually don't necessarily want on TV. Embarrassing special effects not even expected on Syfy. Bumpy and partially broken plot, i.e. scenes don't connect. What really struck me was the obvious attempt to swap the gender roles, i.e. the girl officers played the strong and tough ones whilst the guys were dumb making all sorts of stupid mistakes and statements + going for the sucker moves. Even 10 years after a meteor hit really not so credible. This might have been a kinky idea for a 90s movie but in 2014 I would have expected the prdoucers to be a bit more sober about gender aspects...Bottom line is there was no way I could watch it to the end...
