This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

When the world was invaded by underground creatures that wanted to wipe out mankind from Earth, the post-apocalyptic survivors called The Day of Reckoning. Fifteen years later, people have the same signs indicating that a new attack is coming and they seek out shelter for protection. What will happen to mankind this time?"Day of Reckoning" is another SyfY Channel garbage with a lame and senseless story and awful computer-generated imagery. The plot begins with no explanation or character development. Then the viewer sees a teenager (Tyler) jeopardizing his family and friends with a stupid unexplained attitude. There is a fight to survive from his family and friends and nobody misses the death of his mother's girlfriend. Then his uncle and aunt die and nobody grieves. In the end they laugh as if they were on the beach of in a picnic, forgetting those who died. But the worst is that the appalling creatures that destroy the world are easily killed by salt and saltwater. My vote is three.Title (Brazil): Not Available

Fifteen years ago evil creatures from the underworld plagued the Earth with the intent of eliminating mankind. Called the Day of Reckoning by survivors of the nightmare event, warriors of mankind again must battle the forces of darkness......Just so you know, the best thing about this film is the one sheet that you clicked on, because like me you thought 'hmm that artwork is nice, I'm stupid enough to fall for this trap again', and yes, I fell for it.As soon as I saw the SyFy watermark appear, my heart dropped a little, not because I knew the effects would be bad, the effects are laughably bad, and that gives the film an extra point, it's just when it's obvious when the film stops for a commercial break, it's irritating and just stops everything dead in its tracks.Other than that, it's your atypical invasion movie. Estranged husband looking after his cheeky son, son runs off, mother becomes concerned, and father and son bond. It was a wonderful part of the narrative, in Spielberg's War Of The Worlds, but here, there was no need to introduce this, we are here to see very amateurish extras running away from terribly designed CG monsters.As always we have a couple of special guest stars. One is the bloke who played the Vice President in Van Dammes Die Hard homage Sudden Death, and the other is the wonderfully walking cult that is Barbara Crampton.She adds class to any film that she is in, and this why it gets another star.So all in all, it's a terrible film, funny when it should be shocking, and although it's a must for bad movie aficionados, it gets a little bit boring toward the end.

Not quite as bad as those from the 1950/60's, but surprisingly poor CGI for 2016: The monsters are visually obvious additions. At one point, a dog-like creature attacks a man who - instead of trying to use his hands, throws them up! The acting was OK, as was the dialogue. The plot had reasonable promise but only for about a half-hour. The interactions between good and bad guys was believable for the most part. I don't think any interaction between the monsters and anything else - buildings, humans or other monsters - was believable. Shocking when almost all films rely heavily on such nowadays. Perhaps Sc-Fi channel has too rigid production schedules, or lousy quality control?

I've given up on the SyFy Channel. This is typical of all their productions. Terrifying and spectacular scenes involving CGI monsters/aliens/whatever separated by deserts of arid narrative with little or no purpose other than taking the characters to the next scene involving CGI. It's just crap. Some visual engagement but zero intellectual value otherwise. The suits at SyFy either are idiots or venal purveyors of weird trash -- or both. Don't waste your time. There's so little artistic value, other than the yeoman efforts of the put-upon casts, that I honestly believe SyFy is soliciting scripts from middle-schoolers. With a title like "Day of Reckoning" and the very rare religious references made in dialog, one might suspect that some attempt at rationalizing the cause of a disaster threatening the existence of the human race might be made. One would be mistaken in that assumption. There's nothing here. Watching while drunk might improve the experience.
