Simply Perfect

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

"...I don't know!"This simple exchange from the film sums up this appalling film. Appalling. There are no redeeming features. Well, one of the women is quite hot (Nya). Everyones' accents are all over the place. Acting is very basic (apart from a black guy). The plot doesn't make sense. The science doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The special effects don't make sense. Nothing makes sense. Oh, France gets destroyed and there's this hot girl. That's it in terms of the good stuff. Very slow/special needs people might find it entertaining for a few minutes max but someone should make sure they know how to change the channel/hit the stop button.

Truly, truly awful . . .I am a TNG fan, so watched when I noticed Marina Sirtis name. But that accent . . . bad, bad, bad . . .The plot should have allowed a reasonable film - scientists creation threatens extinction of the planet. Spoiler: It blows up. They do keep telling you that, so its not much of a spoiler. But there - I've saved you 90 minutes of your life you will never get back . . .Other posters who try and say there is some good acting or other features are wrong.There isn't. Wearing a Bruce Willis radiation suit painted black apparently makes you pant when standing still, or trying to hobble (badly) across flat ground. Poor collagen lipped silicon breasted science assistants are probably really nice people, but weren't required here - they added nothing to script or story line. Make up on survivors in disaster scenes came out out of my three year olds paint set. Applied by a three year old. Raging fires in desolated city scenes came out of a 1990 video game - its so long since I've played it I cant remember what its called any more. And I don't think the console even works - just like this movie.Other posters have given some of the plot holes big enough to drive Jupiter through.For plot holes and bad acting, pick a scene, any scene, and I'll provide the list.Some movies are so bad they are good.This one isn't. Its just bad . . .

Marina has a great natural accent. She has a long list of accents they have stuck her with and I wish they would stop doing that to her.The acting was OK, the effects were OK... this film is not "Gone With The Wind" and there are holes, but I wanted to see what happened next; that is usually a good sign for earning a degree of entertainment value. Editing whoops: after Raja's import stalls on the side of the road, he gets out, looks around, gets back in and there is no head-rest on the passenger seat. When they come up and knock on his window, the head rest is back.

I was a bit surprised by Marina Sirtis and her Southern accent, and the inconsistencies were a bit distracting. The acting of Luke Goss actually wasn't bad.But here is the real bottom line, and it does make you think. Can a technology be created that could cause an extinction level event? Nuclear Annihilation is about as much as we have created so far, but what if a technology was created (super collider) that led to the destruction of our planet. Do I think this could happen? No, not a chance. But I like movies that make you think.Here are some of the holes in this movie (not a complete list): 1. For technologies this powerful, where is the security? There is no way an Arab terrorist gets to a control room and can cause this much damage.2. 1 man (Luke Goss) and 1 woman (Marina Sirtis) have all the control and knowledge to make the call to end humanity. As mentioned before, Luke did a fairly good job at acting out his part, but I believe a group of scientists would be giving their opinions on such a huge decision.3. When Marina was talking to Luke at the end of the movie, she mention states, "how can we trust a man that has beaten and shot?". OK, I know they had a video screen and they could see the blood on his face, but how did they know he was shot in the leg? 4. Technologies this powerful will have so many fail safes and redundancies a terrorist would not have a chance to take this much control.However, even with some of these plot holes. I liked the thought it created and the surprising conclusion. Not many end this way.
