Earth's Final Hours

Well. Earth's Final Hours. Low budget film, and it shows. The kind of film you expect to see aired on the Syfy channel. I did enjoy it, meaning it took up some spare time I had. It was somewhat predictable at times, but even that is to be expected what with the amount of similar films out there, only they had the budget to pull off a better film. I would say it was still worth a watch, IF you have nothing better to do...like sleep. It's main downside was the acting of a certain young man, Cameron Bright. His monotone acting skills just bugged the hell out of me. I remembered seeing him in a double episode of Stargate SG-1. I recognised the acting before him. It has not changed in the past 5 years. Lets hope he gets better in the future...or play the roles of robots.

To get to it, the film was OK, but let down by its somewhat predictability and certain bad acting.

First of all, I'm gonna get this off my chest. I HATE THE MOVING CAMERA SYNDROME!!! That's NOT what "Movies" MEANS!!! ARGH!!!

Creators of cameras created anti vibration tech so that when you are taking a picture/moving picture the lens compensates!!! NOW they PURPOSELY DEFEAT the anti vibration by JERKING the cameras all over the place! This is so stupid!!! Bad enough when they jerk the camera around to simulate earthquakes, but when no "earthquakes" are happening it's DOUBLY stupid!

THIS IS TERRIBLE! I'm watching the movie right now! ARGH!!!

Other than the CAMERA JERKS, it's a half-way decent movie. I don't know the science so I can't comment on it! This is FANTASY! Fantasy has been part of Sci-Fi from day one. So-called "science" has been along side fantasy all along. That's why they CALL it "Sci-Fi", as in Science Fiction.

But fiction is a part of life and people believe fiction every day, but I'm not gonna wax political...

I don't understand why so many people post negative reviews on some of these SyFy Channel movies. These movies aren't made to be blockbusters. I don't take any of them seriously. They're meant to be entertaining, and more often than not, "mindless" entertainment that you can often sit back and have a few laughs with on a Saturday or Sunday evening.

Unlike many reviewers, I actually "enjoy" watching SyFy Channel movies. Knowing how cheaply they are made and how far out some of them are makes them all the more entertaining. That being said, some are still better than others. Quiet a few of the newer ones have been very enjoyable to me, and this one was no exception.

It's science fiction, not science fact and I was entertained for an hour and a half. I won't go into the plot as you can read that under the main page, but if you like watching SyFy Channel Disaster movies like myself, than you will probably feel it was time well spent. If you don't like "out there" plot lines, low budget effects and some bad acting then don't watch it and stick with "Hollywood" style films.

Just don't! I don't know who gave it this may stars, but they shouldn't be allowed to vote. I hate to sound rash, but I had to write this review because of this. There are people that actually would of watched this travesty because of the high star-rating. Please IMDb watch this movie and you be the judge of this misrepresentation of a review, a complete abomination. I understand that it's someone's opinion, but really!! I mean a 7.9 star rating that is sent out in the public, shouldn't never been an issue. That is saying that this movie out does some great movies that do not have this high of a rating.

"If the highlight of a movie is the credits, then don't give it credit"

I can enjoy a stupid movie, but the filming of this movie was just unbearable. The camera was constantly bouncing around for no good reason. Even calm scenes indoors where everyone was still, the camera is bouncing, panning, and zooming back and forth... I found it nauseating, and could not bear to finish watching it.

I don't care about the plot so much. Like I say, I can enjoy a stupid movie, so if the camera were just held still at least sometimes, this movie would get a much higher rating from me.

The filming location is very nice and scenic, so there is something good to say... Again, if only the camera were ever still, I could have at least enjoyed the landscape.

PS. This show was so bad that I signed up just to post this review.
