Sadly Over-hyped
... View MoreIt is a performances centric movie
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreThe movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
... View MoreThis movie is alright! I've seen it a number of times. It's one of those movies that you can see a number of times and not get bored of it.Mario van Peebles and tommy Lister jr. gave good performances in my opinion. I like the idea of a religious activist believing that God had decided the world's fate and that it should be interfered with. Good special effects. I don't know why this movie didn't come out at the cinema because I like the movie. Good story. Coolio's gangster character was a brief but interesting part of the film. A few things could have been done a little better, but a good movie on the whole. Worth watching.
... View Morespoilers....now this was a great movie. forget armageddon and deep impact and those other crappy movies. you got a meteorite coming to earth, bigger than the one in armageddon i'll add, and there's only one way to destroy it, a special nuclear weapon made by a scientist. this scientist is the only one with the password to unlock it but there's a religious fanatic (mario van peebles) who feels it's god's will for the meteorite to destroy us all and he kidnaps the scientist, also shows tiny lister junior in a great role as the guard. you got this one female cop who's the best in the field and he gets a former criminal who she arrested out of jail for help to find the fanatic and than get the scientist to save the planet. i won't ruin it by telling the ending but this was such a good movie. the only thing that actually seemed out of place is the fact that the scientist is the only one who created such a powerful weapon and the only one with the key, he's such an important man yet he's just a college professor. but hey it'z all in good fun it's only one minor detail the movie was awesome
... View MoreThis Direct to video nonsense, features Boring performances, Awful special effects and Laughable screenplay and lots of boring action, surely one of the worst movies since Fair Game Not a good movie to rent.
... View MoreIce-T stars as a federal prisoner that is doing a deed for the FBI, where a scientist is kidnapped by an extremist group, with Mario Van Peebles as the leader. An asteroid threatens the earth (a la Armageddon), and the top scientist is kidnapped, and hope lies with both Ice-T and Suzy Amis (Titanic) as an FBI agent.Ice-T might be portraying another stereotypical role as a convict, as well as the villain, like his previous films, but his vulgar overtones might sound like one of his rap songs. Check out a cameo by Coolio as a street hustler, and this film marks the third appearance of Tiny Lister (Trespass, Jackie Brown) with Ice-T.The scene where Amis cuffs Ice-T to the steering wheel of the car has been repeated several times, in films like Rush Hour. 48 HRS. was the first film to feature such a scene, and every fan of the film might view this scene as homage to a timeless classic.Why Mario Van Peebles as the black David Koresh? Ice-T might have lynched his ass in this film, since the two first met in New Jack City.
