Atomic Hammer This movie/TV Series? is really bad. The effects are terrible, really bad. The asteroid looks to "computer generated" (yes, we all know it is, but it looks really bad), the explosions we can see clearly the buildings are miniatures, like when the flood happens. The lasers used are just to freaking bad looking. Well, i didn't know this movie was made in 1997 so i guess it explains why the effects are terrible. But, there are so many movies in that date which effects are good like Independence Day. Now, other bad point: the actors. Most of them don't know how to act. Take for example the little kid: so ANNOYING. In the scene were his grandpa gets stuck he reacts normal and simply goes away to a point he wants a chocolate bar more them rescuing grandpa. His mother on the movie is also terrible. Her lines are to chezzy and she doesn't show emotions at all. In my point of view, if her son was killed she wouldn't react. For example, when her son is falling in the asteroid crater she goes saying "Hey. Hold on, OK?" I mean hes about to DIE for gods sake... Overall, its a bad movie. I give it 3/10 and not zero because some actors were good actually.
Don-185 I worse film I ever saw. FEMA to the rescue maybe too many Naw Leans residents saw this film. FEMA by no means has any action heroes.Everything about he film is bogus.Emergency workers don't behave as shown Everyone would have known the asteroid would have splinted. Why did the grand father leave the house with 2 small fires going.There was food and water at house.Its a waste of time. Don't waste your time. Watching this film is a waste of time Clinton Hollywood feel good.If you want to see a silly very silly 90's movie watch this and laugh.Believe it or not the Kid is named Eliott.
Conorooney I have never saw a more pathetic movie. The acting was terrible. They womans child was the most annoying actor I have ever heard or seen. I could go on and on about complaining about him but I ain't like him. Also, the FX were cack. The big white writing saying where they are that takes up the bottom portion of the screen. Something like the x-files would have been a much better choice. I know it's really hard to mix water, a full scale prop with minatures because you can see the difference but if they used bigatures it would look so terrible. Badly shot. Not worth looking at. If ya want to see a good disaster movie see Armegeddon or however ya spell it. It was too much of a soap opear. It should have ended long long before it did after the asteroid struck not nearly 45 mins later.
noelcox This is a disaster of a movie. Basically yet another asteroid/meteorite impact film, it departs from the formula in the behaviour of one of the leads, FEMA Director Jack Wallach.*** spoiler ***FEMA Director Jack Wallach abandons his responsibility to the public and launches on an entirely selfish private rescue mission. Let us hope that his character does not reflect that of the real people in similar positions. As it was, he should have been prosecuted for criminal dereliction of duty, or some such crime. I have some sympathies for his predicament - a family member is facing death - but he had a wider responsibility for the hundreds of thousands of people who were looking to him for their survival. Really, this single point destroyed what might have been a moderately successful film.
