10.5: Apocalypse (2006)
One of the worst disaster movies I have ever watched
Very little scientifically accurate. Overall bad acting by most of the actors. There were some good actors in it but most of them didn't put in a good performance. Kim Delaney was bad. The actress who played the female FEMA director's daughter was really bad. The writing was not good. Of course, I didn't expect good special effects. They didn't even get a tidal wave correct. A tidal wave is a very short wave (maybe 1 foot) that is very long and only becomes large when it approaches the shoreline. At sea most ships won't even notice a tidal wave so from the start the scientific inaccuracy begins.
None of the relationships of the characters worked for me. The only characters/actors that I found decent were the President's daughter and the FEMA director.
Most of it didn't make much sense and they ignored the rest of the world. It's like the U. S. was the only country in the world.
Global Meltdown (2017)
You know a movie is bad when you are rooting for the villain.
Let's just say, if I have prepared for a disaster and store resources, I am not giving them to every other idiot who didn't.
Most of the movie I was rooting for the villain because of the entitled attitudes of the so-called heroes who I couldn't stand.
IMO the writers in their efforts to prop up the so-called heroes had bad writing for the villain, who IMO was the only interesting character in the movie.
The actors weren't awful. And for a low budget disaster movie the special effects were OK. It was the terrible writing that killed this movie for me. It could have been so much better with better writing.
Doe (2018)
This storyline has been done before a lot better.
This storyline was much better done in Babylon 5, Season 3, episode 4, "Passing Through Gethsemane". I guess I don't see John as a victim or a sympathetic character. Some good acting but a bad ending because at the end the movie missed the entire point of the storyline.
Deadly Vows (1994)
I recommend watching it
Great performances by all actors. I really enjoyed this movie.
Taken Back: Finding Haley (2012)
Predictable & not worth watching.
I watched this because of the actors in it, particularly Amanda Tapping. I expected a twist, something other than being completely predictable in a boring way. But there wasn't any twist. All the adult characters came off as irresponsible and not believable. It wasn't even a good treatment on the subject of child abduction compared to movies like "The Face on the Milk Carton." It also didn't give background on any of the major characters on what had happened to them in the last decade. It just plopped the characters on screen with no explanation as to why they were friends, why they had the jobs they did, etc. Not any real character development at all. And at the end of it, I liked the characters that the movie portrayed as bad, and couldn't stand the ones they portrayed as good. Moira Kelly I didn't think was believable in her role at all. All in all it was a waste of two hours of my time.
