Bad acting, bad scripting, bad editing. Can't get any badder than that.
I turned on the TV just to find that it was Disaster Saturday on Syfy. I love cheesy disaster movies, so I was excited. Boy, was I disappointed! This film is one of the worst films I've ever seen. "Planet 9 from outer space" is Oscar material compared to this. I have nothing good to say about this film.It starts out with a meteor heading for earth. My first face palm came in the very first minute, when the Nasa tech with a shaky hand presses ESC on his keyboard to launch the bomb headed for the meteor. Alas, all the governments attempts to blow it to pieces fails, and it hurtles towards earth. This thing is HUGE, it's an ELE (extinction level event), and we should anticipate that life on earth will die out.Fast forward to our "hero" who's afraid of heights, and for some reason HAS to go up on the roof. Why, no-one really explains, but he has to do it before the water rations. This fear seems to be really important, but I am not sure why. The meteor hits, and contaminates the water (?), and although it takes 12 days before people gets sick, his colleague dies within 10 minutes of the film starting.There are looters who wants to kill people for no apparent reason, especially at the government lab. One of the techs is left behind working on a cure for the water contamination. It might kill people, but they are making lots of it. There is a lot of running and horrible events happening, and two FBI agents that cannot hit a barn if they were bolted to the ground, while all the bad people are marksmen. The hero picks up a woman on the road. She's about ready to die, but manages to stay alive for most of the film. For some reason, they have something that looks like an epi-pen that seems to revive people somewhat, or kill them, if they are a bad guy. Our hero uses this on the woman, and this seems to save her life (for now at least). Our hero drags her with him, and she is able to follow him in the blistering heat, most of the time on foot. They also finds lots of water on their way to LA, for some reason. You don't ever hear them complain about being thirsty or see them drink more than a mouth full of the water.After a lot of bad movie making, our hero eventually leaves the woman when she is no longer able to follow, and climb some rather awesome and barren mountains. He meets the last people from the detention centre leaving LA, and lo and behold, the final two are his wife and daughter, who despite having been sick from the beginning of the movie, is still alive. At NASA they arguing about something and one of them says "There is nothing we can do!" A woman chewing her pen says "Yes, there is." At that point we see the meteor the size of a city block falling on LA, not a lot of dust or anything, and then a helicopter lands to take our hero and family to safety. The lady on chewing her pen is on the phone, and get the message "We got them" while our hero and family laughs. It is finally over.This film is so bad, I got through all the hoops of coming here warning people about it. Avoid at all cost! It is so unrealistic it's not even funny. As disaster movies goes, it IS a real disaster. It's so bad it's not even funny. It is off the scale bad.
Normally I am a fan of the over the top cheesy B, C, or D grade movies. The bad effects, the sub-par acting, and attempts at being basically a knock off of a descent movie that has already been made.But I'm having a hard time enjoying this movie.Yes despite the low quality acting, bad graphics, poor script and the kind of ridiculous plots that I live for I cannot enjoy this movie.The movie basically goes like this. Meteor is heading to Earth, governments of the world blow up said meteor and people started getting sick from drinking the water. Main character's daughter and wife get drug away to a quarantine zone where the meteor pieces are later discovered to be heading so the man heads off to rescue his family.The part that I have trouble wrapping my brain around is the fact that people are getting sick BEFORE the meteor crashed to earth and has time to contaminate the water.I don't know if I dozed in the first five minutes and don't recall a really REALLY important detail. Or if the movie is just that bad. Feel free to message me if they explained how the water became contaminated prior to the meteors arrival. Because I completely missed that fact if it was stated and honestly that was the main reason I didn't care for this movie.And yeah I am one of those people that appreciates a plot in movies. Because lets face it, even when something is really bad, it still needs to have a plot.... Even if it is not believable or realistic.It still has to be there.
A movie where you can leave your Brain out of it. Just watch for the message. A government that doesn't warn anyone of the impending disaster. The featured player is a worker at water plant (scientist?) Some people are dead. The government 'qurantines' others and moves them en mass around the country. The Hero abandons his vehicle to walk home. He finds his family being herded in vehicles. When he confronts Bio-Hazard suited men they hold him back. Usually a person being argumentative is beaten or at least forced to join the herd. Of course the movie Road show would end there(?)... With all the adrenalin that should be present he wanders off and falls asleep. Waking he searches for what... finds a dead man in a SUV and a woman sick nearby. Now we have our sickly fem who goes with him on the search. Arriving in Las Vegas he finds his buddies Government office/lab. By Golly no security of any kind. Everybody has been evacuated Except one lab tech still working while the place is overrun with looters. During a search of a trash bin he finds a water bottle, wow. He is soon set upon by looters and a FBI team show up to save them. Begins the next leg of the road trip... More marauders take out the FBI and leave our Hero and fem to walk again. Side story is the Government mishandling elsewhere. Dialoge is unbelievable, responses to situations are contrived. There is so much more to lead to the "Miracle" ending. Funny that a Poster saying as much was conveniently over the shoulder of the Hero at the start of the picture. This is another movie you can confidently avoid. Although people who need to be inspired may enjoy it.
