10,000 Days

OMG, John Schneider and Peter Wingfield! Are you on welfare? Foodstamps? What on earth would ever possess you to agree to be in this horrible movie? This was the single worst movie I have ever seen, and I am almost 60 years old! Please people don't waste any of your precious lives watching this movie. It has barely a plot and just ends in the middle, like there was no end.... it just goes from movie to roll credits. huh? I'm happy about one thing, I watched it on TV, so I didn't waste any money. I happen to like John Schneider and Peter Wingfield as actors, so I hope they are more selective than this in their future film endeavors. I liked Schneider in Smallville and Wingfield in Sanctuary. This was definitely not their best work!

Just by reading the films opening lines I knew we were in for a bad time. A comet colliding with our planet knocks it out of its orbit and further away from the sun, turning it into rather chilly place to live, a lot like Antartica on a bad day. In reality of course, such an impact would have reduced our planet to a pile of orbiting gravel, useful only for an alien rockery. Anyway, I decided to stop looking for reality and being critical and instead just try to go with it. I failed. I got up and made a cuppa. After that I fed the dogs. Then I checked my emails. I looked up and the movie was still running unfortunately. I washed up the cups, went on YouTube and learned how to stop the alarm going off on my watch, quiet useful actually as it was going off at 9:30 every night. I looked back at the film which then quiet inexplicably started to look interesting and 10 seconds later equally inexplicably ended. I would have said it was a total waste of time, but I did fix my watch, so for that I score it 1 out of 10.

After 2 minutes I was cringing in my seat. After 5 minutes I felt embarrassed for all the people involved in this production. After 15 minutes I felt embarrassed that someone of the same species as me would do a horrible thing like this to one of the most popular art form of our time.

Honestly, several actors in the movie act so bad that they don't even look like humans. Their body language is so wrong that the movie would have been a lot more plausible if they were impersonating aliens posing as humans. Well, maybe that was revealed to be the case in the end, but I felt that it it's more important to write this review than to finish watching the movie.

This movie starts out fairly decent. Think Hatfields vs McCoys on desolate ice post doom days. Unfortunately, it is the worst cliff hanger ever. I was waiting for the words "to be continued" to roll across the screen and even looked to see if I was supposed to flip the disk over for part two or something. This movie literally stops in the middle of filming like they ran out of budget to finish it or something. I've heard of leaving endings up to the viewer but this was ridiculous. I liked the characters. I understood where they were attempting to go with it. The filming is low budget but acceptable. The total disregard to end the story or hint at a sequel is seriously disappointing.

This has got to be close to one of the worse films I have ever seen and could not cope with watching all of it as it was so bad. It could have been so much better as the base storyline is not too bad. The script was very dull and amateur and the characters very weak, how it ever got released is a mystery to me.

Disjointed scenes all over the place jumped from one subject to another. I left watching it to do ironing which I hate but it was better than having to watch the rest of this film.

Don't waste your time watching it go do something more entertaining. If this film made any money I would be surprised.
