L'Équation de l'apocalypse

Clearly the script wasn't written by successful science majors and neither did they do any research for the film, to be honest this film has about several different plots rolled into one, there is this collider that blows up in France and wipes out a quarter of the country and the lead scientist that must find out what caused the explosion, there is also this subplot about one of the lead scientist suspected of being a terrorist and is on the run from the police and the actual terrorists.

All in all the film's plot doesn't really make a lot of sense because the stuff I just mentioned aren't the only plot or subplots thrown in, there is a whole bunch of them and very few of them are properly explained or not explained at all and the acting needs serious work, some of the actors looked like they didn't really know how to play their roles, they were either very stiff or their acting was almost completely wooden.

The part about this film that really made me feel like I wasted my time with it was the ending, I mean you get films with bad endings but this was the icing on the cake for me.

Final Verdict, the reason I gave this film a six is because it should do so well to actually give all wannabe film makers hope, because if the pros can make bad movies with plots that make no sense and effects that were done with Windows Movie Maker, then I guess the amateurs can too.

I actively hated this movie, and I'm a gal who tends to cut sci-fi movies a lot of slack because I love them so much, even the bad ones.

But this one -- wow.

The single stupidest and most insulting thing about Annihilation Earth (and of too many sci-fi and disaster movies) is that it gives only one or two scientists -- in the entire world -- the expertise and power to make crucial decisions affecting millions (and possibly billions) of people.

Annihiliation Earth is such a movie, in spades. No involvement with any national or worldwide governmental or scientific body -- just Luke Goss and Marina Sirtis getting all tense with each other.

This nation's already poor science literacy certainly won't be improved with preposterous flicks like this one.

I didn't expect much from this movie and honestly, I guess I can say I got what I asked for, so I give it an extra star for delivering what was expected.

This movie had a minimal plot, horrible acting, so-so special effects, and too many holes to make it believable. I agree with the other post above that the only thing that was impressive was the ending. Not your typical disaster film.

I have to point out one area that no one has mentioned thus far. The lab assistants -- Did anyone notice the fact that the two women were overly attractive for the role that they were playing. Not to mention their purpose was pointless. They had very few lines and those they did they hardly even got them out without it sounding like it was being fed off a teleprompter.

I love the fact that terrorists got into a facility with loaded weapons without even a problem. My gas station on the corner has better security protocols than this place did. I think the movie would of been more believable had they made it a 2 part mini series and expanded on the terrorists actually circumventing the security within the facility rather than them just showing up and shooting everyone without a single guard around.

There were other British actors in the movie that went with speaking in their natural accents, but Sirtis attempted to speak in an American accent and it wasn't working. She kept drifting in and out of what I assume was supposed to be a southern drawl. Terrible. The movie in general just dragged on and I could not watch it until the end.

I like Luke Goss & think he should be in bigger things than this sort of garbage. He was great in both "Blade II" & in "Hellboy II: The Golden Army." In a lesser known role he made a bad film almost tolerable in "Cold & Dark." He needs the right role to become a big star. I guess as long as Guillermo del Toro keeps doing films we'll get to see more of him. This film is about as generic as you can imagine. I've seen worse special effects but the so-called plot is terrible. Talk about miscasting, Marina Sirtis is completely unbelievable in her role. It's already written badly but she was completely wrong for this. If you want to watch another terrible disaster flick that somehow the syfy (Quite possibly the worst renaming of a channel EVER) channel keeps pumping out, well this is fun to laugh at or with. There is worse stuff out there, but it sure as hell gets better. Skip this & keep hoping we see more of Luke Goss in the future because he has the ability, but even Tom Hanks couldn't make this better than this mess. This is of the same vein of "Angels & Demons" (that is not a compliment) but with 1/100th the budget. Again it always comes down to a decent script, & even w/the budget of "Avatar" ($300 Million plus) this would still stink.
