Impact final

...but I'll try anyway.

ScyFy movies are all terrible, everyone knows that. Theyre also funny and give once popular actors a chance to make a movie again.

This movie is awful, plot holes as big as an uncharted asteroid and -of course- laughably silly.

The "special effects"looks as though a teenager did them on their phone. Wait. A teenager could do better.

But, if you've had a bad day and need to lighten things up, watch these poor actors try and get through their scenes. Your day may not seem so bad after all...at least you didn't have to participate in making this movie. I hope the catering made it worth it for them!

I read the reviews during opening credits and decided I want to see just how bad a movie could be. I have to admit---I did some channel surfing during many parts. The acting was thin and it had the macho woman/emotional man bits as with a lot of made for TV movies these days. I have to say, its not the worst I've seen and others that could come close are shown right here on the SCi Fi channel. I liked the hard nosed commander though. I kept thinking that if I made a movie, I could do so much with his character.

Maybe an OK movie for a bunch of young teens during a sleep over or if you have a serious case of insomnia at 3am. Other than that, watch one of those old B&W Sci Fi's with the space ship hanging from a string

Did you ever read "Time of the Great Freeze" by Robert Silverberg or go see "Damnation Alley?"

If so, then you've seen this film before--only this time, it's a post Tunguska-like comet impact instead of World War III and no giant cockroaches this time. Dean Cain and a husky named "Sasquatch" lead a team through Ice Age Europe to rescue lost scientists trapped in Berlin in Landmaster-like vehicles. A B-movie science fiction film with all of the associated trappings. Not too bad digital special effects.

Turn off your brain and enjoy, then go get "Damnation Alley" for a (slightly) better performance.

(as they were known before their spell checker stopped working).

Don't understand the venom here. The movie isn't great, but it isn't terrible either; don't know the preferences of the other reviewers but I would watch movies like this before crap like Hostel or another remake of a 70s movie that wasn't that good the first time.

Post-Impact is a mid-Europe production crew making a movie with an interesting premise; a comet strike renders northern Europe uninhabitable. After a rescue mission is destroyed by a microwave satellite controlled from the impact zone, a team moves in to discover the truth. The source is found, and it turns out not everyone on the team is working with the same agenda.

Yes, there are Euro-accents all over the place, the equipment is wrong, wrong, wrong (the .22 inserts on the M16s, and, well, pretty much everything about the military and government aspects). Sometimes it sounds like Hanz und Franz from SNL wrote and directed an action movie. But it's a interesting premise, Dean Cain hits the marks and says the lines and it brings an interesting setting into your living room. Some characters have good turns.

No, it's not great. Nevertheless, I find SciFi (no, I'm not going to write Syfy, because I am not Hooked on Phonics) movies more interesting than 99% of the crap and recycled garbage that comes out of the big entertainment houses these days.

No, really. No matter how bad the acting, how laughable the special effects, SciFi movies nearly always have a gem (sometimes a very tiny gem) in there, a premise or a characters or a setting which transcends the Robert McKee/focus-group fueled McMovies. Yes, you have to reach pretty deep into some of those things to pull out the diamond but it's nearly always there, and it's there in Post-Impact. Look for it.

I rented this movie thinking it would have been like The Day After Tomorrow, but boy was I wrong. Post Impact stars Dean Cain (known for being Superman from Lois&Clark, and the Ripley's Believe It or Not guy) and a bunch of other small time actors. The plot revolves around a meteor hitting Europe and sending it into an ice age. Sounds like a good movie so far, right? Well.. so far. However, the plot gets completely ridiculous where a 'bad guy' takes over some kind of satellite that could melt the ice but instead uses it to destroy cities (ironically in the same city the meter hit). So Dean Cain and a bunch of soldiers set out on a mission to stop him (the closer they get to him, the colder it gets). The movie gets incredibly boring towards the last half (unnecessary and slow gun fights) with a rather hilarious ending that defeats the entire purpose of the movie. Also, very horrible special effects and mediocre acting; lots of goofs (i.e. going outside in -50C temperature). My suggestion is to pass it up and to completely forget it ever existed.
