i must have seen a different film!!

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

In northern Bulgaria, researchers are puzzled by a strange series of "earthquake clusters." They are more dead than puzzled when an earthquake strikes their own little group. Over in New York City, publishing house proofreader A.J. Buckley (as Eric Fox) discusses a doomsday prophecy just before an earthquake strikes. Up in Mount Rainier, Washington, blonde archaeologist Jewel Staite (as Brooke Calvin) pooh-poohs prophecy. She is in for a rude awakening. It appears as if Armageddon is underway. Because they are the co-stars, Mr. Buckley and Ms. Staite are meant to team-up and save the planet. If they don't, the planet may not be saved...The otherworldly villain is a "Dark Star" with powers like a black hole. In reality, the world would end quickly and without fake earthquakes. Buckley and Staite are assisted by a magic rod given to Buckley. The magic rod enables him to see into the future – in a story about the end of the world, seeing the future is always encouraging. They meet wise old Native American Indian Gordon Tootoosis (as John). Interesting how Indians began their movie career as savages out to rape white women and now appear as helpful elders with near supernatural wisdom. The mission is to find some magical statues. "Doomsday Prophesy" is sheer nonsense.** Doomsday Prophecy (8/13/11) Jason Bourque ~ A.J. Buckley, Jewel Staite, Bruce Ramsay, Alan Dale

This was a bad movie made even worse by the lack of care and continuity. AJ Buckley plays a character called Eric Fox. However, in a scene in an SUV, he holds onto the door handle displaying a tattoo on the inside of his left wrist that plainly says "Joe." Now, either AJ (Joe) Buckley has the tattoo and someone missed it (make-up person and/or continuity person!?) or the character's left wrist is called "Joe" or the character has a thing for someone called "Joe."This is about typical for this movie. which did not ask us to just suspend our disbelief but also our credulity. Oh yeah . . . the SFX were shamefully cheap and hokey.

Surprisingly interesting. Subject is very actual and overused in many movies but this one brings a different twist to the "end-of-the-world" franchise.This is not like the Hollywood product-placement films, it actually has content, action, some real pieces of spirituality inserted here and there discreetly, otherwise the fanatics would raise their bible! A great movie. To the opposite of some reviewers, I'm not into the already chewed up flicks from Hollywood and such so my review is not based on how much sex, drugs, loud music, barely hidden publicity, and how many corporates names are inserted in the movie, it's about the IMAGINATION (unknown to the Hollywood crowd!) Don't be biased by the Hollywood lover, this is a very good movie and deserves more than it has.

I have to say that I decided to look at this while I was waiting for my wife to return from a girl party and I had absolutely nothing else to do.....otherwise I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.......that said, this movie is exactly the type of fare that has pretty much ended my viewer-ship of the SyFy channel........I mean it was so boring I found it hard to believe anyone paid for this drivel........clearly, if the zombie-like performances of the actors is any indication, the director, if there was one, phoned it in.......I mean there was a director listed but judging from the performances, i wonder.As well, I wondered who was responsible for this absolutely awful (not in a plan 9 good way) movie.......and I discovered it was from the same producers that brought us quite a bit of the worst scifi in history.......all shown with great relish on the SyFy channel of course..........the story consists of name dropping every mysterious place and every conceivable end time prophecy from the history channel.......and our heroes being chased around by the thugs of a nebulous gov't group of course, highlighted by large chunks of the earth cracking or otherwise sinking out of sight........interspersed with rehashing explanations a la Tom Hanks and describing laughingly precise visions or dreams..........all in all, really sophomoric and tiresome........very quickly, early-on tiresome.Jewel Staite was the worst i've ever seen her........sad for an actress that was fairly good when she was younger......A.J. Buckley should stick with CSI for as long as possible and save his money because if he keeps doing this sort of thing he will definitely disappear as an actor.......he is after all, a mediocre talent at best.Keep it up SyFy, keep buying this Canadian crap and you will probably disappear too.......I realize that churning out this hopelessly awful junk makes work for a lot of people and promotes North American trade and all that that entails but is it really fair to keep inflicting this crap on us, the unsuspecting public?.......of course if you put us off scifi then maybe we will appreciate wrestling and reality shows more...........if that's your plan it will not work because there are plenty of other sources of great scifi........I promise you, you won't fool me again.
