Tycus

What a bad reccomendation! I started watching the first 20 minutes of it, and I just couldn't take the horrible acting, production value (CAMERA!!), and SCRIPT!!! And everything else... It looks like a shabby made-for TV episode, without spirit or feel. Cliche American characters make this one a movie to stop watching 20 minutes in... because I sometimes feel like my life has been wasted. At least it was only wasted for 20 minutes or so instead of a couple hours.

I don't care if this movie has some cool ideas, like asteroids hitting Earth and people living underground. It is done horribly, so it doesn't get any points outta me. If I feel my time has been wasted, how can a movie be at all good?

Yeah, this is definetly a direct-to-video release, and am surprised a person like Dennis Hopper would voluntarily be in this movie. Is he friends with the scriptwriter or something?????

Unimpressive and extremely low budget sci-fi without any charm and appeal. Even the scenes related with the fall of the asteroids are stolen from other movies with the same plot. It's just a bad rip-off of "Asteroid" (with Annabela Sciora) and "Deep Impact" (with Morgan Freeman). Mr. Hopper seems to be anxious to slip away from this pointless and dull sci-fi entry.

I give this a 2 (two). And don't say I'm not a good guy!

I bought this movie in VHS for 25 cents in Canadian money... and it wasn't even worth it! Tycus is alike every catastrophic movie that you can watch for free on TV during a week day afternoon. I know that a VHS movie doesn't stop every 15 minutes because of ads but I it's not really an advantage. You see, at least ads would have kept me awake! Anyway... it just wasn't a good movie. And I didn't even mention the lesson they are trying to teach us... NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHO'S GOING TO LIVE AND WHO'S GOING TO DIE! That is not a spoiler, you'll ear that from the beginning to the end of the film... if you still want to see it. :P

Not only did the effects and acting in this movie bite, but the story was terrible.

A scientist discovers that a comet fragment will hit the moon ... world leaders ignore him ... he builds a shelter ... then, everyone is upset that he is "playing God".

How lame! He built the thing, why is everyone "entitled" to access? Totally lame story, don't waste your time!

Actually the movie isn't that bad. The special effects are, for the most part, unconvincing. The movie seems to steal ideas from other movies in this genre, namely Deep Impact. The drunken pilot is practically a clone of Randy Quaid's character in Independence Day. One of the final scenes where the scientist gets trapped outside to die is shot strangely. As the unlucky bystanders watch the select few head down the elevator (which looks more like an outhouse), their facial expressions reminded me of Night of the Living Dead. Instead of hurrying to the elevator shaft to save themselves, they look catatonic. Only as the elevator doors begin to close do they scramble for their own lives. I made a mistake and paid to rent this as a new release.
