Shockwave

I'm rating this one star for very obviously gaming the IMDB rating system. Anyone well-acquainted with this system can spot fake rating stats almost immediately. 800+ "high" ratings. However of those 800+ ratings we find only 3 reviews... and all of them negative. I would tend to believe those 3 reviews more than the 800 questionably high ratings.

I've said it before and will say again: If you have to fake your own ratings, you've already failed... and not just in film making.

This film is really bad, the special effects seem to be made my someone with their pocket calculator and the script is just sad with no scientific facts what so ever, and my dog can act better !

I never write reviews but I had to warn people of the scam that this film is and the 6 star rating is fake !!!!!!!!!

Arguably the WORST movie ever made. I almost vomited all over myself from how painful it was. If the actors were paid anything more than a Snickers Bar I'd be absolutely shocked

Shockwave: Countdown to Disaster is another of those films that will be repeated on the Scyfy channel for years to come.

It tells the story of a super weapon that has been set off and is burrowing through earth causing rampant eartquakes that are gradually tearing the world apart.

It's your usual generic cliched to hell disaster movie stuff that has every trope going. A goverment who don't listen to the warnings, an estranged couple who are both experts in this particular field, the whiney kid of the estranged couple, every country getting destroyed but it being the US who save the day etc etc etc.

CGI is average, performances are slightly above average and the plot is a combination of fairly good and really quite terrible. It get's weirdly dark in places, has your standard filler middle and sickly sweet finale.

For what it is it's actually above par, against your average film however and it's still a mess.

The Good:

Has its moments

One great comedic relief character

The Bad:

Same ol', same ol'

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

Once you've seen one of these movies you have literally seen them all

This is so bad it should have gone straight to Audio 0 / 10
