Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This film has got to be a contender for worse movie ever made.The acting was atrocious and more wooden than the biggest Giant Redwood, the direction was non existent and the script would have been better if it had been written by my pet budgies.SPOILER BEGINS This is the story of a group of people who have to save the world from a comet heading for Earth which also produces an anomaly, a gravitational vacuum.Those who have the job of trying to save the world are made up of a mash-up of no hopers.SPOILER ENDS We have seen this genre of movie time after time but everyone of the others were much more entertaining. In fact Quantum Apocalyps had no entertainment value whatsoever.The movie had one redeeming factor, it ended.I wish IMDb had a Zero rating because if any movie deserved a zero, Quantum Apocalypse did.

There's got to be a special section of Hell roped off for the SciFi Channel executives who decided to kill off Mystery Science Theater 3000 in order to foist upon the culture unmitigated rubbish like Quantum Apocalypse. I don't even care how wildly successful they've been at capturing the coveted demographic of "people who get so wasted Friday night they're still practically catatonic Saturday evening and don't have the strength to change the channel". This one cable network has contaminated pop culture by churning out one wretched piece of cheap, sub-amateurish dreck after another until the sci-fi/fantasy genre has begun to stink and ooze like a toxic waste dump. How many of these Saturday night atrocities have now been inflicted on the public? 100? 200? And how many of them have been so bad in every way that you'd rather watch that videotape from The Ring?I mean, this thing is just flat out, straight up, no two ways about it pitiful. Quantum Apocalypse pretty much hits every single note on the SyFy Saturday symphony of suck.Lame special effects that would get laughed at by a 1978 episode of Doctor Who? Check.Cast full of people who look like they were hired right out of line at the DMV? Check.That one guy in the cast who when you see him you think "Hey, I know that guy"? Check and embarrassingly played here by Peter Jurasik, also known as Londo Mollari from Babylon 5. Seriously, Jurasik's appearance here is like a junior league version of Bela Lugosi turning up in an Ed Wood production.That one other person in the cast who seems to have some talent but will have to carry this thing around on her resume for the rest of her life? Check and it's even harder to look at Gigi Edgley try to salvage something out of her one dimensional character and gobledygook dialog than watching Jurasik slum his way to a measly couple of bucks.The piling of one cliché on top of another until you feel like one of those 700 pound shut ins has rolled on top of you? Check.A director who has no idea how to end a scene and barely knows which end of the camera points forward? Check.Budget so low that they can't even afford enough of their bargain basement CGI and must have scene after scene where people just talk about all the terrible things happening off screen? Check.No nudity? Check.Fight scenes more poorly staged than a 3rd grade production of West Side Story? Check.So many unnecessary and extraneous scenes that it's obvious the writer could only come up with 45 minutes of idiotic story and had to pad things out with even stupider and more pointless filler? Check.Unbelievable cop out of a ending? Check and check.What's most offensive about productions like Quantum Apocalypse is that there are low budget filmmakers out there who are busting their humps to make the best flicks they can. Not many of them are great but a surprising number have value both aesthetically and as entertainment. Yet for every one like that, there are 10 soulless voids like this which only exist because some halfwit executive at some pissant cable channel has a slot to fill and can't tell the difference between Spielberg and a homeless guy playing with himself. With the revolutions in production and distribution, we should be living in a new Golden Age of cinema but the truth is we have to tread water like mad just to keep out heads above a raging ocean of crap.Don't be part of the problem. Be part of the solution and don't watch Quantum Apocalypse. Don't let your friends watch it. If you're passing by a video screen and notice Quantum Apocalypse is showing on it, take off your show and throw it through the screen. Yes…it is THAT bad.

My wish for the new year is that the Sy-Fy Channel take some of it's money to purchase some old TV series, or create some new ones, and run them instead of giving us crap like this movie. Either that or take the money it spends on any 5 of these films, put it all together, and try to make at least one decent film.While the premise of the film was halfway decent, the execution of it was dismal. Horrible special effects, terrible acting, bad writing...you name it, it's all here. Pretty much everyone who "acted" in this movie was bad with the exception of Rhett Giles, the autistic savant, Jenna Craig, as his niece (even though her part was pretty small), and Shirly Brener as the teen love interest (those 3 were the only reason I gave this a 2 rating. Without them...a zero). The effects are standard Sy-Fy badness. There a scene with a tornado that takes an 8" square porch column and hurls it into the sky, but instead of snapping it into pieces it bends and wiggles like a worm as it floats upward. And please, don't get me started about the lame dialog exchange between the two guys while they're fighting over Ms. Brener and the extreme overacting of her ex- boyfriend. No wonder she dropped him.All in all this was the kind of movie that would have me pulling the plug on the Sy-Fy channel for good if it wasn't for some of the series that are on there. Like I said earlier...MORE SERIES, LESS MADE FOR TV MOVIES.

I don't why I keep watching these SyFy movies, mostly it's because of curiosity or that there is nothing else interesting on. I do dislike a lot of their output, but I have only despised about 6 so far other than this(2010:Moby Dick, The Apocalypse, Titanic II, Mega Piranha, Dinocroc vs. Supergator and Alien vs. Hunter).Quantum Apocalypse is down there with the movies of theirs I despised. It is an awful film beyond any description and has no redeeming qualities. The camera work and editing are so static it is painful on the eyes and the effects are crude and look fake. The script is cheesy and full of holes and there is some of the worst dialogue I have ever heard in my life.And to make things worse, the direction is pretty much wretched, the pace meanders all over the place and the story is dull and hard to take. The characters are so poorly written and stereotypical I did not care for them at all, while the acting is dreadful, even those who visibly try are bad.All in all, awful and one of the worst SyFy movies you'll ever see. 0/10 Bethany Cox
