Epoch Evolution Trailers

10 years since the the first Alien object called Torus arose, two more have risen. The first torus changed the worlds view dramatically not just political but even on a religious basis. Dr. Mason Rand is on the run from religious zealots, Genesis Coalition, who fear the epidemic ramifications that will be brought on because of what DR. Rand knows.

Reviews
InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Phillida Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
shawn-27 The previous commenter got confused somehow. There were two devices. The one in Paris healed people but the one in Russia killed people. The men that injured and killed and then stayed so were at the Russian site. I wonder why they didn't bring up this difference when considering which of the devices they should attack, but I suppose that is asking for too much from a movie like this.Now if the poster wanted to talk about the bad things in the movie he could have brought up the dialog or perhaps the poorly thought out bad guys, or some of the other quick fixes the movie took. The bad guys didn't seem to have much reason for their decisions other than a fear of something different. They also seemed to miss a major plot point after all of their study.So while the movie isn't that good it did at least stay consistent. I wonder if we will be seeing a third movie in a few years to help further explain/muddy the water.
clamydia "If you like this title, we also recommend...Boa vs. Python (2004) (TV)." There's really not much more to say other than that, but I'll try: Imagine being strapped to a chair while every stupid person who has ever irritated you, wasted your time, or otherwise caused you grief pokes you repeatedly in the face with a rolled-up copy of the National Enquirer while explaining the plot of Jason and the Argonauts to you using no words that contain more than two syllables. That's how much fun you will probably have watching this movie. Cue next anonymous hyperbolic scathing.
hagridsfang Hmm, that should sum it up right there, but I'll go into more detail. Okay, the story was pathetic. The Chinese randomly blow up a Russo/American space station and of course the two nations react and come close to a war with China. This somehow causes two alien objects to come up out of the ground, one that heals and one that destroys. When the waves of each of these collide, the earth would be re-terraformed and start over without humans. The only way that these aliens will leave is if they see their son that they got by impregnating Dr. Mason Rand's (David Keith) wife 10 years ago. Of course, they wait till the last couple minutes to bring his son, who also has healing powers and can bring people back to life. The acting was pitiful, I'll go over some huge standouts in a segment I like to call: What I Learned From This Movie:1. When soldiers are shooting at an armed enemy, they stand out in open space and fire randomly.2. Soldiers can look intimidating with their guns, but if you get into martial arts moves, they collapse.3. When shot in the leg, people can keep walking without noticing it for five seconds.4. Even though the aliens are 2-3 feet tall, the passageways to their structure is conveniently sized for humans to be comfortable.5. Ex-Special Ops cannot shoot a stationary target.The acting was pitiful the whole way through though. Keith did not have his best stuff at all. Not even close. It seems as if he tried way too hard to do a crappy job. The directing, to have at least that many noticeable major errors, is awful. He had more than that, those were just the first to come to mind. The visual effects were awful as well. The explosions looked fake, the Toris didn't look convincing at all, and the blood didn't even look real. I picked this up for a free rental because I thought it looked cool; that was a mistake. Avoid this one, you'll want your 90 minutes back.
vidalsdauphin Epoch: Evolution is nowhere near as good as the original, although David Keith and Billy Dee Williams do wonders with the week script. The original was better in every possible way, especially acting wise. The movie was filmed in Bulgaria to save movie and most of the cast had to their voices dubbed over. The special effects are decent, but for it's time and miniscule budget Epoch was able to pull off much better visuals. While the original had a fair amount of drama, and a few thrilling scenes Epoch 2 is dull.
