Fallout

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.

"Fallout" is some kind of sci-fi/action/thriller deal that falls short on sci-fi elements and severely lacks action & thrills. So, about 3/10 should do it. I don't think I'm overrating things here. Strongly impressed by the film's blandness, uninspired directing and almost non-existing special effects, I went and checked out what else director Rodney McDonald might have cooked up. And I learned I had already seen the supreme Graig Sheffer vehicle "Deep Core" (2000). Hey, at least that one had crappy CGI.

Oh yes, why on earth did I decide to watch this, right? Well, it stars the amazing Frank Zagarino. Who is he, you ask? Well, nobody you should know, really. Only, the guy played a relentless criminal cyborg in "Shadowchaser" (1992), a merciless brutal cyborg in "Project Shadowchaser II: Night Siege" (1994), an utterly demented killer-cyborg in "Shadowchaser III: Alien Force" (1995) and also a surprisingly other kind of cyborg in "Shadowchaser 4: Orion's Key" (1996). I liked all that.

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.

As already stated by others, this flick sucks pretty much, however I´d like to point out the score, especially during the end-credits (or should I call it "blacklist"?).

It really, really, and I mean really sounds like a poor spoof of Klaus Doldinger´s "Convoy"-Track from "The Boat"-Score.

Even Sonar-Pings are in it...

But nomen est omen I guess. The Fallout Score was done by David and Eric Wurst, The Wurst-Brothers!!! :o)

Wurst is German for Sausage...

This Movie sucks, and sucks, and then it´s over...

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 !
