Interesteg What makes it different from others?
Lollivan It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
M MALIK This movie is totally hilarious it is more like a sci-fi parody & irony is that almost everyone was involved in making this nonsense actually are very serious about it you name it from the cast,crew & etc.I love independent films but films like these make me laugh & people say Michael bay or Roland Emmerich are lame directors,it was a low budget film but still better then quantum of solace 2008 the James bond 007 film with Daniel Craig & Die Another Day 2002 is a classic compared to that.The story is about a comet coming in to earths orbit & scientists are going crazy as time is running out & end of the world is near.The dialogs & conversations between characters is so serious even more then a Stanley Kubrick movie just an excuse so the audience will relate to it but they failed to cover up the cheap cgi, bad acting & garbled archive footage.First the flood & disaster comes then later these guys launch a ICBM(missile) at some place altering the time & things goes back to the way they were everyone lives happily ever after wow i mean what a story totally Oscar worthy.Plus who can forget the story angle where random thugs rape the guys girlfriend & hero gets shot helpless,whoever wrote this script must be on drugs.As for the cast there are some hot women but i liked Kristen Quintrall she is one hot eye candy that's it probably the only one people should check out this film for.Overall Quantum Apocalypse 2010 is a film for ones who don't like quantum of solace 2008 my rating is 2/10.
rperry-17 A lot of folks are trashing this movie without understanding the context.a. It's a TV movie b. Budget was an estimated $2.5million With that in mind, I'd like to review this one in a more technical sense for the film students out there, and highlight where I think it was good.First, some obvious faults.Some of the special effects are lame, other acceptable. The lame ones should have been seen as such and cut.There are some sound problems which hint at them having lost on-set sound and having to resort to the audio recorded by the camera. Folks, there is a thing called dubbing. Or at least try to equalise the camera audio.The casting of Peter Jurasik as the President was insane beyond words. Not because of his acting at all, but he simply does not look the part. Just look at the bit part actors surrounding him, they look the part, he stands out like a sore thumb.The casting of Gigi Edgley as one of the 'rock-star scientists' was good, and after a very worrying start, she gets into the role and makes good of it. However, simply having a dash of green in your hair and wearing a tie around your neck when wearing a normal dress does not make you a 'rock-star scientist'. It makes the wardrobe and makeup dept look crap.That's me done with the negatives. Let's review the brighter side...Other IMDb sections claim this was filmed using a sub $2,000 Panasonic AG-HVX200 HD video camera. Well, I think the result is superb.Throughout this film, the cinematography is first rate. Lots of very nice camera moves, including several closeups that turn into running tracking shots. Framing and lighting is always good.The plot may have some holes, but hey, it's a TV movie, so don't take it so seriously.Lots of location filming, which must have eaten into the budget. This helps keep away from the TV movie format, and keeps the thing moving.On balance, some big minuses, but for a TV film, very well technically executed on the whole.Epilogue....About the bad acting. The director, Justin Jones, was not inexperienced. But as Second Unit Director or Assistant Director (57 titles), he perhaps did not have enough experience of spotting and correcting over acting.That error mainly occurs in the first half of the film, along with most of the other 'faults'.Conclusion: As a TV film, very well made, and watchable in my view. At no point does it fall apart, although it makes you start to cringe a little early on. I've seen a couple of worse Big Budget films costing far far more.
Luke Dyson Truly terrible acting ability simply adds to the woe of watching such a poorly conceived film. That and the extremely low budget effects that they have obviously spent minutes scrutinising.The film contains basically rain-man, who is so intelligent, he managed to calculate some kind of number which fires a rocket into some weird space anomaly bigger than the sun to save the world. It also contains a very loose teen-romance. Which when you reach the end of the film, you realise it will never happen again (because they go back in time).And the guy who plays the president, well... he is truly remarkable, in the sense that it basically looks like a guy who'd serve you in Londis.Just another film about America saving the day, but not before London is entirely destroyed... Guys... seriously, how long ago was the war of independence, get over it!I also love the fact its available on BluRay, but it isn't high enough definition to warrant the bother!
Rumified After reading all the reviews I must sadly agree. I'm as much as a movie goer as the next person, but the story is ridiculous. Not a funny ridiculous, but a sad ridiculous. I found myself pausing lots of times due to lack of interest.The movie Twister from the 90s had wayyy better graphics than this movie. Dx I do like the element of how the environment seem in ruins, so I give them some props for that. Seems like a very low budget movie. Even some low budget films are great, but the actors are terrible, they could at least make up for the movie's loss. Crappy actors and effects, with a whack out story line is just a disaster of a movie. Don't waste your time watching it. On the lighter side, the 'mentally challenge' actor did a great job playing handicapped. I also found it humorous that the weight of the World, in this case literally, was in the hands of an old PC filled with data from his hard drive of the mentally challenge character.Even more shocking and hilarious, that after all of that data and geniuses, this 2 college students, and everything the World could come up with, is just a stupid missile that got shot at this 'thing' in space and like that, it was over. I mean, really? Hahaha. I quickly delete it off my hard-drive, and my iPod, what a waste of an hour and a half. I found myself shaking my head wondering if I would have enjoyed it more if I was on drugs. @___@
