El día después del impacto

Throw science out the window along with any ideas about plot development, character development and plausible story lines. The special effects are really "special," too. Much of it looks like something you would see in a video game. In fact, I wonder if they didn't just film some shots from a video game to save money.

I enjoyed the film, however, for the laughs. It keeps you wondering just how bad it can get. Just when you think it can't get any sillier-- it surprises you and does.

Just to give you an idea of how bad it is-- the main character is supposedly obsessed with getting back to the zone where he left his wife and daughter, yet he quickly drops his gloom when this British chick sheds her clothes and joins him in the shower. Only moments later, he is clearly hitting on the German chick. Of course, we know he is sensitive and caring, because every now and then he drops his gaze and supposedly thinks of the family he abandoned.

This was a German co-production. I thought the Germans were smarter.

Did you ever read "Time of the Great Freeze" by Robert Silverberg or go see "Damnation Alley?"

If so, then you've seen this film before--only this time, it's a post Tunguska-like comet impact instead of World War III and no giant cockroaches this time. Dean Cain and a husky named "Sasquatch" lead a team through Ice Age Europe to rescue lost scientists trapped in Berlin in Landmaster-like vehicles. A B-movie science fiction film with all of the associated trappings. Not too bad digital special effects.

Turn off your brain and enjoy, then go get "Damnation Alley" for a (slightly) better performance.

Yep. The acting isnt the best and the script is nothing to write home about. But on a cold winters day, with nothing else to do, it isnt too bad.

Someday I'm going to learn not to waste my time on made-for-TV movies shown on the Sci-Fi Channel (on USA cable). Admittedly, the special effects on this one were above its normal 1950's B-movie level. Nevertheless, the plot is full of obvious holes that even a child would choke on (e.g., people being shot in all four limbs and still able to win a hand-to-hand fight against an expert fighter). The acting is wooden, the editing is abrupt and annoying, and much of the key dialogue is incomprehensible even with repeated playbacks on a good sound system using a digital feed.

This one isn't worth watching even if you are terminally bored. Read a good book. Heck, read a BAD book; you wouldn't have the intelligence to visit IMDb and own a book THAT bad...

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
