What a beautiful movie!

From my favorite movies..

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.

I bought this movie in a package that came with three other films ("The Last Sentinel", "Supernova" and "The Black Hole") which were all produced between 2005 and 2007. Of these four films this one is clearly the best. Essentially, alien creatures from another galaxy have come to Earth and have managed to occupy the bodies of certain prominent officials within a large city. Their goal is to repopulate their species and to do that the "Queen" has laid thousands of eggs which are due to be hatched. However, in order for the eggs to survive the incubation period they need a certain type of "mulch" which is best made underground with human remains as the main fertilizer. It's at this time that an archaeologist named "Lloyd Walker" (Gil Bellows) is informed that a site he has been working on has been permanently closed due to "safety issues". Not content with this turn of events Walker seeks the assistance of a woman named "Liz Quinlan" (Daryl Hannah) who works on the city council. Meanwhile a reporter by the name of "Jake Roth" (John Cassini) is working on a story but can't quite put all of the pieces of the puzzle together and his investigation brings him to Lloyd. Once they compare notes both of them realize that something sinister is going on and the answers might be found in room "86" at city hall. Now rather than reveal any more of this film I will just say that this is a two-part, made-for-television movie which does rather well despite the limitations of that particular venue. I particularly liked the CGI along with the addition of Suleka Mathew (as "Marianne") and the aforementioned Daryl Hannah. In short, this movie turned out to be better than I thought it would be and I rate it as slightly above average.

*Spoiler/plot- Final Days of Planet Earth, 2006, An end-of-days-story with an archaeologist discovers that aliens posing a local Govt officials are harvesting the citizens to take over the planet.*Special Stars- Daryl Hannah, Gil Bellows, Campbell Scott *Theme- Humanity is temporary owner's of planet Earth, the bugs are coming.*Trivia/location/goofs- TV movie, Canadian flag in some Govt building shots when plot supposedly taking place in Northwestern USA.*Emotion- A rather crazy film with the low-key dramatic situations but somewhat saved by the rest of the film's good horror pacing. It looked like this film was 'cashing-in' on the era's "Alien" bug-like film genre. Ms. Hannah as the queen insect alien is a little interesting. It's a very bad film and a waste of the starring actor's talents.

Dear Darryl Hannah,I picked this one up at the dollar store. You owe me a dollar. Or coffee at Dunk's.I promise not to bring up how "Splash" and "Roxanne" were apparently flukes.I promise not to say "Botox" or anything that rhymes with "Botox" as a snarky way of saying "Botox."I promise not to mention "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" or "Clan of the Cave Bear," even though both those dreadful movies that nobody under the age of 40 ever heard of were far superior to this.I promise not to ask you what you had to do with Quentin Tarantino to get into those "Kill Bill" movies. If only because Roxanne/Popeye coupling is so disturbing to imagine.I promise not to say "Australian Mini-Series" in a Paul Hogan accent.I promise not to say "What the hell happened to your career?" in a Paul Hogan accent.Finally, I promise to use this DVD as a coaster when we get that coffee at Dunk's.Sincerely,That Guy Who Saw You In "Splash" And "Roxanne" And Thought You Were The Bees Knees But Now Wonders What The Hell He Was Thinking

I like this movie very much. It's simple, humble but well down, exciting and beautiful. Daryl Hannah plays the mysterious Queen Ant and she is very beautiful at age of 45 and I think Gil Bellows and the other actors and actresses play very well. Thank you Hallmark.
