Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Isbel A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

hongkong666 A disaster movie as if created by a stencil. You get the same plot as you got used to in all the past years and the only thing that changes is the form of disaster threatening earth. Volcano? No. Ice? No. Meteorites? No. Tectonic plates? Tectonic plates it is! Given the cast of this movie I was expecting a bit more, especially with John Rhys-Davies being in it (and not to forget Rutger Hauer - it feels like ages ago since I last saw him in a movie) and the actors are trying hard to present the script in an acceptable way. Unfortunately the writing is so generic, that Scorcher ends up as just a below average movie in the genre. I did not care for what happens to any of the characters at all. Especially not the two leading characters. The best thing about this movie was the epic soundtrack and I'll add an extra point just because of that.

born-giantsfan The plot lines in this movie are so bad, one would think this is a spoof. The redeeming factor is that the acting is just as bad so it really turns it into a comedy.let me give you three examples.First, Here is a critical mission to deliver 2 nuclear weapons to a site in LA, and it is "protected" by a small team in 1 truck and two jeeps. no backup, no eye-in-the-sky, no secondary communications, nothing. At one point they get stopped by the old "truck in the middle of the road" trick. They all get out and stand around when they are opened up on. These are elite soldiers on a critical mission to save the world? and they are stymied by a rogue team of bandits. And of course along for the ride is the cute scientist wearing stylish slacks and a cute sweater.Second, there is a father/daughter team of scientists. She hates him because he was not around. And he speaks glowingly of her and her work - to the point that it is revealed that he funded her research. But several times during the movie when she disagrees with him on scientific findings, he completely dismisses and insults her. Then the plot tries to turn the moment when we sees she is right into a tear jerking scene of father/daughter love. It's a complete failure.Third, one character hates the lead character so much that he continually jeopardizes the mission to save the world in order to make this one guy look bad.Fourth, two characters take off in a jeep with the second nuke needed to save the world in search of the main characters daughter. They didn't think of leaving it with the main team when they left? Oh, that's right, it was needed to add a little more drama in the plot.Fifth, when arming the nuclear weapon, the main character tells his daughter "you better step back." He's setting an arming device on a nuclear weapon and has her move 5 feet back? Oh, I see, that was needed for the bad guy to be able to grab her when he wasn't looking.I guess that was 5 things. I could have gone on even longer, but I think you get the point.Sappy speeches, bad character acting, typical inept politicians who can't make the right decisions and take all the credit when things go right, and a crazy serial killer in the mix who liked to threatens to burn a young woman but never seems to get around to actually doing anything.The only suspense in the movie was what next stupid turn was the plot going to take. I have to admit, I was surprised at times - because the turns were so unbelievable and dumb.

parcival-3 And more clichés. The whole film is a conglomerate of third rate movie clichés, from the smart Aleck military guy, the two fathers who seem to reject their daughters...from beginning to end Cliché! What's more, it makes no sense. One sample of that summarizes one event after the other: the heroes are in need of emergency departure. There it is: a corporate jet just waiting to pick them up on the streets of a deserted Los Angeles.And then there's the doomsday scenario with pseudo-scientific jargon to spin the mind...It's okay if you want to occupy the pre-schoolers...I guess.This makes Ed Wood look classy.

steve3803 Don't waste your time on this boring movie. You would be better entertained watching TV commercials. The actors performances are jerky, forced, totally unbelievable. Special effects rate a zero. Sci Fi factor is zero. Ditto on action sequences. No decent humor. Plot, kind of. What value does this movie have? I can't find any. I'm taking this time to spare you a wasted time.
