Atomic Apocalypse

Two stars just for general idea and that is it. The plot does not make sense, seems like creators do not even have minimum knowledge about science nor have bothered to do homework. Very visible "low budget" type of filming as well. Watched till the end hoping for something, however, it was a total waste of time.

"Supercollider" started out interestingly enough, then the air seeped out of the balloon quite fast and the movie turned unfathomably boring and ridiculous.

The idea of the movie did have potential, but it was really badly put to the screen. The story is about a machine that accidentally causes a distortion in time and space, creating a new reality and thrusting people into this new reality to a bleak and broken world.

I suppose it was the script and the direction of the movie that took a blow and caused the movie to crash down a steep hill abruptly and without warning.

As for the acting, well it was adequate at least. Just don't expect award-winning performances here.

All in all, then "Supercollider" was sort of a waste of time, because it turned really stupid really fast, and it just lost all appeal and any sense of coherent and believable storyline. I found myself ending up with my phone in hand, because the movie failed to keep my interest fairly quickly and never really managed to get back on track.

"Supercollider" gets a mere 2 out of 10 stars.

SUPERCOLLIDER is another silly SyFy Channel disaster movie about a Hadron collider going wrong and accidentally opening up another dimension which causes the Earth to be affected by all manner of natural and not-so-natural disasters. This is a Canadian production filmed in Bulgaria which gives you an idea of how cheap it is.

I've seen a lot of SyFy's disaster movies but this is definitely one of the cheapest and poorest-looking. I can think of absolutely no reason that any sane viewer would want to tune in and waste their time watching this. The characters are clichéd and the interactions between them are wooden and poorly staged. The special effects scenes consist of the actors looking on as a bad CGI effect plays out in the background or in the sky. There's never a moment of realism, drama, or excitement that convinces. The only actor I recognised was Amy Bailey, who played the British princess in VIKINGS, and she must wonder why she agreed to star in this junk.

I was actually pleasantly surprised by this movie. It wasn't an amazing film or anything, but it was much better than I was expecting it to be. It was an interesting premise, but it DEFINITELY had a tiny budget, none of which was used on hiring great actors and very little of which was spent on anything approaching decent special effects. I'm pretty sure I could do a better greenscreen job using my cell phone and a tablecloth. That said, there were interesting aspects to the plot and the actors were better than your average middle school theater students. I gave it 3/5, largely for exceeding my expectations.

There's not a lot of great things to say about Supercollider, but the one big positive is the interesting subject matter. That said, this movie is not really what I expected. It is watchable, I didn't stray from the viewing or lose interest at any point. I really don't care for special effects: low budgets are of small concern but there were some holes in the script and some of the acting could've been better. Character development minimal and unsatisfactory. Still, it was put together well enough to hold my attention. I wish that they would have devoted a little more screen time explaining what happened or theorizing, but maybe that is part of the intrigue. Also, I have to say the timing of the love scene between Victor and Natalie seemed a bit awkward.
