Sarentrol Masterful Cinema

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Ian Taylor I'll be honest, unless I had a couple of hundred hours of recording space, I wouldn't have bothered with this. US TV Movies rarely pack a punch (there ARE some notable exceptions). This is clearly one more sci-fi disaster pastiche in a long run that have been foisted upon us since the success of Deep Impact, The Day After Tomorrow, etc. Its cast has television actor written all over it, whether US or UK performer - for Dean Cain refer to Superman, for the UK dwellers amongst us, Joanna Taylor (Clark) is an escapee from Hollyoaks, the vapidly bland teen soap opera. Basically, it should never be expected to be anything near engaging. However, as I said, I had lots of space available and I'm a great lover of all aspects of the Fantasy genre: Sci-fi, horror, old, new, big budget and zero budget, UK, US, anywhere in the world. Now, having established what this film IS, let's re-emphasise what it ISN'T. It isn't a megabucks Hollywood production, it has no aspirations to be original and it is making the most of a committed cast and crew more likely to be seen on television.Everybody got that? No problems in understanding? So, metaphorically speaking, why the hell kick a donkey for being a donkey?! Would you order a lasagne from a restaurant and then complain because it wasn't a curry? Okay, metaphors over, hopefully my point is grasped: a sci-fi TV movie starring Dean Cain is what it is. It's not got loads of money for effects and box office smash cast lists. It's intended to provide lightish entertainment for people relaxing in their own homes and looking to kill an hour or two.For once, why can't we just judge a film on what it is? Let's try it...Dean Cain makes a likable good guy and at least tries to rid himself of Superman's clean shaven and impregnable heroism.Joanna Taylor works well as a waspish tough girl and then **SPOILER** manages to successfully present another character development reasonably convincingly.The effects are not great but successfully convey their intent.There are things that happen that avoid the usual need to give absolutely everyone and everything a happy ending.TV Movies like this NEED to be made because if everything was Michael Bay then film-making would be moribund, if not completely, officially dead! Post Impact is a low-budget and derivative sci-fi disaster movie featuting television actors. Does it succeed within those parameters? Yes, it does.Next, please...

summergrl291 It was great to see Dean doing some more work making movies which he would do much more. For a low budget Movie,this movie was not as bad as the critics here has said. I and my family totally enjoyed it..it even opened up some ideas about what really could happen if this situation ever occurs. Yes it has humor and the acting did not suck as bad as they said..it could've been better..I admit this as there was a lot more room left to do much more for improvement, with such a good plot/idea which they had. We all in the end agreed that this would make a great Video Game...not sure if it is already one..but I has great qualities and computerized video aspects within it to make it such. I would enjoy playing a game of it is is somewhere out there.It was funny to read some of the critics especially one which someone made after they said that they turned off the TV and did not really even watch it at all..but still in the end to come give the world a big summary of it.

Mike To quote our indispensable forum members: "Blank tits! Lots of death! And bad actors!" It's all there, but sadly, any sense is out cold, acting is stiff, pacing is glacial and if there was any point in the movie, it was put on ice.What happened: a comet smacked straight into Russia, sending dust into the atmosphere and screwing up the global climate, so to speak. I'm still wondering, who invented the "New United Northern States" name, but hey, nuns didn't save the world any time before, did they? Anyway, someone starts playing with a half-forgotten orbital microwave cannon (which failed to knock down that comet mentioned earlier, but apparently works pretty well as a WMD), so the nuns send in a crack(-smoking) team of special (needs) operatives, consisting of a dishonorably discharged hero, his dog, stuck-up colonel, owner of aforementioned blank tits and daughter of the WMD designer, to shut down both the cannon and whoever's fiddling with it.What happens next, is a parade of bad CGI, cheap set decorations, cheesy acting, gratuitous display of blank tits, pointless subplots and cringe-worthy dialogue. So don't wonder why the reception was so frigid.

P M I read the reviews during opening credits and decided I want to see just how bad a movie could be. I have to admit---I did some channel surfing during many parts. The acting was thin and it had the macho woman/emotional man bits as with a lot of made for TV movies these days. I have to say, its not the worst I've seen and others that could come close are shown right here on the SCi Fi channel. I liked the hard nosed commander though. I kept thinking that if I made a movie, I could do so much with his character.Maybe an OK movie for a bunch of young teens during a sleep over or if you have a serious case of insomnia at 3am. Other than that, watch one of those old B&W Sci Fi's with the space ship hanging from a string
