GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible

AutCuddly Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

adrian-36091 It is interesting what can be achieved when the Halmi (Jnr and Snr) bring together an incredible cast, and writers that are not restricted by the standard movie format. You have a story that is well formed, where the writers have time to bring together the elements of the story.I once heard an interview with one of the Halmi(s), and he said that the cast he assembles has a chance to portray their characters to the fullest, and you made a Hallmark/Halmi film not for the money but for the experience of storytelling.Final Days of Planet earth is like that, its about story telling and having the time and screen space to bring the elements of the story together without having to strictly adhere to movie studio time lines and creative restrictions.In the end, I don't really know if you can say this is good movie science fiction, or bad movie science fiction, but I can say it is good story telling.

thinker1691 Writer Christian Ford and director Robert Lieberman took on the task of crafting this Science fiction film to fit the Television screen. Although it's slow to catch your attention, it soon has one really interested. The layout story concerns a Archeology professor William Phillips (Campbell Scott) who is engrossed with an interesting ancient find, found near the city proper. Things at the dig become curious when one of his students disappears while searching there. However, other strange occurrence began mounting when the police abruptly close off the dig and then seal it with loads of concrete. Pursuing the incident further, Phillips is warned then ordered to stay away from the dig site altogether. Continuing the matter up with city officials they give him the big stall. He becomes doubly curious when one city clerk offers him a special note to a certain 'Room 86.' He is then steered further away from the dig by a high ranking commissioner of the Police and a helpful city employee named Liz Quinlan (Daryl Hannah). However, other queer events add to his ongoing mystery when citizens of various occupations began disappearing after visiting Room 86. The movie begins to escalate when other strange events start to mount. Bird watchers began noticing that birds have cease their chirping, criminals and homeless vagabonds vanish for no reason at all and the police become criminally uncooperative to the point of being unresponsive and brutal. Taken as a whole the movie should be listed as a 'B' picture, but then slowly evolves into a worthwhile effort. So much so, that unusual features add to it's story with a higher star rating than it began. The acting is convincing, so too the dialog and then finally the special effects crowns the finished product. As such I recommend this feature to anyone interested in a good picture gone great. ****

lordzedd-3 The final days of planet earth, there's a movie that you hope don't live up to the title. Now where to begin, the Mantis effects are kind of cool, the story is pretty cool and acting was well done. But I got to admit, I wasn't too impressed with our cowardly hero, we might as well had Shaggy from SCOOBY-DOO trying to save the world. Now Daryl Hannah is one sexily evil queen. She can be sexy one minute and rip your face off the next. I got to admit, the special effects are impressive. Now the other little thing at almost three hours, the movie does get a little long. But it is worth the ride, so if you got three hours with nothing to do, you can do worse then THE FINAL DAYS OF PLANET EARTH, I give it 8 STARS.

disdressed12 this is a really good TV mini-series.it starts off really slow though.but once it gets going,it really improves.you get little hints at a time of what's happening,so you really get hooked.for an alien invasion movie,this one is low key and on a lower scope.this is not a criticism,and if you watch the movie,you'll know what i mean.i really got caught up in this thing.the special effects are not spectacular,but they aren't bad enough to take away from the movie.believe me,there are a lot worse in that dept.the strong part of this movie is the story and the acting of Daryl Hannah.she puts in a very strong performance in this movie.as for the story itself,while it may not be wholly unique, it is well written and well paced.the only thing i was disappointed in is the ending.it wasn't a bad ending,but it just seemed anti-climatic and not that realistic.otherwise,a very good movie.i highly recommend it.for me,"Final Days of Planet Earth" is an 8/10
