Post Impact

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

do not watch this movie. I have to go with some/most of the other commentators, admitting I have not been able to finish it. The acting is abysmal and makes cardboard characters look lively. The plot is confused and harebrained. Don't waste your life in front of the TV, go outside, to the beach, shopping, do your laundry, just do something other than watch this movie, pretty much ANYTHING is better.

I actually wanted to submit this now, but the IMDb guidelines demand I submit at least 10 lines. I'm having a hard time writing anything more about this low point of movie history. Well, I liked the dog - one of the best actors in the whole movie!

(as they were known before their spell checker stopped working).

Don't understand the venom here. The movie isn't great, but it isn't terrible either; don't know the preferences of the other reviewers but I would watch movies like this before crap like Hostel or another remake of a 70s movie that wasn't that good the first time.

Post-Impact is a mid-Europe production crew making a movie with an interesting premise; a comet strike renders northern Europe uninhabitable. After a rescue mission is destroyed by a microwave satellite controlled from the impact zone, a team moves in to discover the truth. The source is found, and it turns out not everyone on the team is working with the same agenda.

Yes, there are Euro-accents all over the place, the equipment is wrong, wrong, wrong (the .22 inserts on the M16s, and, well, pretty much everything about the military and government aspects). Sometimes it sounds like Hanz und Franz from SNL wrote and directed an action movie. But it's a interesting premise, Dean Cain hits the marks and says the lines and it brings an interesting setting into your living room. Some characters have good turns.

No, it's not great. Nevertheless, I find SciFi (no, I'm not going to write Syfy, because I am not Hooked on Phonics) movies more interesting than 99% of the crap and recycled garbage that comes out of the big entertainment houses these days.

No, really. No matter how bad the acting, how laughable the special effects, SciFi movies nearly always have a gem (sometimes a very tiny gem) in there, a premise or a characters or a setting which transcends the Robert McKee/focus-group fueled McMovies. Yes, you have to reach pretty deep into some of those things to pull out the diamond but it's nearly always there, and it's there in Post-Impact. Look for it.

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...

...but I'll try anyway.

ScyFy movies are all terrible, everyone knows that. Theyre also funny and give once popular actors a chance to make a movie again.

This movie is awful, plot holes as big as an uncharted asteroid and -of course- laughably silly.

The "special effects"looks as though a teenager did them on their phone. Wait. A teenager could do better.

But, if you've had a bad day and need to lighten things up, watch these poor actors try and get through their scenes. Your day may not seem so bad after all...at least you didn't have to participate in making this movie. I hope the catering made it worth it for them!
