Fallout

Did anyone read the script before they shot this film? Hearing the dialogue come from Daniel Baldwin's mouth was like listening to fingernails scratching a blackboard.

The plot: Russian Terrorists plot to steal nukes in space and hold the earth hostage. No, I'm not kidding.

It's tough to blame the director when given a script like this one. Although, he must take some of the blame. Come on... in the future the Army uses EV-1 electric cars? Cars? Not trucks. Cars. It was like watching clowns at a circus unload from a VW Bug.

Laugh out loud funny, only problem, it wasn't a comedy.

I usually don't comment on movies, but for this stinker, I'll make an exception. The dialogue is absolutely atrocious. Every character seems to enjoy stating their job title and past experience like they're reading a resume.

It's really hard to fault the actors when given a script this foul... But I'm feeling picky today. Low points include Frank Zagarino's accent which keeps flipping between German/Austrian and Russian and an over-the-top wooden performance from a moussed-up Baldwin brother.

I saw this movie for free on the SciFi channel and yet, somehow, I still feel ripped off.

This movie has one of the worst script for a Sci-Fi film I've ever seen. The actors were OK, the direction was tolerable, but the script !!. Russian terrorists, nuclear bomb, in space !

This is my first review of any movie on IMDb. And since I am an older retired guy with a lot of time on my hands, I enjoy watching some of these movies that everybody hates. Even my wife laughs at me because I like "Sharknado" type one star movies! So this one I give five out of ten stars.

How do I know that I like this movie better than most of you? Because I hardly looked at my phone at Facebook reels while this movie was on. Normally, if a movie is not that interesting to me, I will be on my iPhone, looking at reels throughout an entire movie that is kind of stupid or boring. But I thought this one was pretty exciting, especially not knowing what was going to happen, except I knew kinda what the ending was going be. Anyway, I think I only watched a few reels during this movie. That's how I rate movies.

This is a bit of a cold war type movie, in the sense that we have terrorists sabotaging a space station, in order to satisfy their control freak demons.

Being set in space makes it tough to make interesting, but it can be done.

Isolated, closed quarters can go either way. It depends on the director more than the writer.

The script isn't great, but that doesn't matter. "Enclosed spaces" takes good directing. It takes proper technique with cameras and with cut away scenes, and with interesting props.

These are horribly managed here.

True, the worst settings are mundane ones such as city streets, motor vehicles, and offices, with the very dullest being submarines and space stations.

Still, this is where directing is important. You need a lot of grunge, for one thing, and that's missing here. Everyone's hair stays perfectly in place, and you never get the feeling the characters are anywhere but on a movie set.

This is difficult to stay awake through. Especially for guys, since the heroine is very average looking. It would help to add some grunge to her appearance to make her more dynamic, but that is a major failure of the director again.

This is how not to direct a movie.
