Earth's Final Hours : Le compte à rebours est déclenché

This movie is a total waste of time. Trailer looked good but don't be fooled..

Too many far fetched inconsistencies and coincidences.. Throw darts the floor if you want to have more fun.

It starts with one of the only people who knows how to save the world getting a hole blown through his chest where his heart and lungs used to be, and somehow manages to talk.

Don't bother watching it..

How it was ever rated a 7.9 is beyond me, must have been based on 2 votes.

Well. Earth's Final Hours. Low budget film, and it shows. The kind of film you expect to see aired on the Syfy channel. I did enjoy it, meaning it took up some spare time I had. It was somewhat predictable at times, but even that is to be expected what with the amount of similar films out there, only they had the budget to pull off a better film. I would say it was still worth a watch, IF you have nothing better to do...like sleep. It's main downside was the acting of a certain young man, Cameron Bright. His monotone acting skills just bugged the hell out of me. I remembered seeing him in a double episode of Stargate SG-1. I recognised the acting before him. It has not changed in the past 5 years. Lets hope he gets better in the future...or play the roles of robots.

To get to it, the film was OK, but let down by its somewhat predictability and certain bad acting.

I normally try not to be harsh with ratings and review summaries, but Earth's Final Hours really took the biscuit. I have seen worse movies, and SyFy have done much worse than this, but that is not excusing this really pathetic excuse for a movie from being one of the worst movies I've seen in the past month. There is only one redeeming factor, and that is Bruce Davison, who actually tries his best in a role and with dialogue that had so much potential to be so much more than turned out.

Earth's Final Hours looks cheap, I found the film very dull in its look and the special effects while not as bad as the Mega Piranha, Titanic II and Quantum Apocalypse still look as though they were made in a rush and gives the indication that the makers were looking at quantity rather than quality. The concept was ridiculous in the first place, but I wasn't expecting the final product to have such a sluggish, scientifically illogical, utterly predictable and above all uninteresting story.

There's also some of the most stilted dialogue I have heard ever in my life, an ending that is drawn out, anti-climatic and goes nowhere and almost every character cliché in the book(seriously when it comes to characters there is nothing new whatsoever here). The acting is terrible, Davison is the only one who tries, Julie Benson is wooden and Cameron Bright has to be one of the blandest and most monotonic actors there is. Overall, a stinker of a movie with almost nothing good about it excepting Davison. 1/10 Bethany Cox

Right, another fabulous disaster movie, where the Earth is at the brink of extinction, and yet is miraculously saved by a group of very unlikely American heroes...

Yes, that is what I thought as well when I sat down to watch "Earth's Final Hours". And I was right, as this movie turned out to be every bit just that.

"Earth's Final Hours" follows the shamelessly abused blueprint of how-to-make-a-generic-disaster-movie, true! However, it does manage to lift itself up and out of the mediocrity that tends to permeate the disaster movie genre. There just was something a bit more enjoyable and watchable to "Earth's Final Hours".

The story, well, it can be summarized fairly easy. Actually, just read my opening statement, and you have the entire movie summarized right there.

It was the fast pace of the movie and the progression of the storyline that actually made "Earth's Final Hours" stand out where many other disaster movies failed and sunk deep into mediocrity. But also the acting performances, as they weren't as generic and mediocre as they tend to be in this genre.

As for the special effects, well let's just say that they had CGI special effects and that these effects served their purpose well enough. However, it is not effects that will blow you away or leave you impressed in any way. So don't get your hopes up.

I was actually quite surprised with the performance that Robert Knepper put on in "Earth's Final Hours", because he really carried the movie quite nicely. And it was also nice to see Bruce Davison here as well, although his character was a very generic one to say the least - not saying that his performance was generic, just the character.

"Earth's Final Hours" is not the best of disaster movies, it is nowhere near the likes of "2012" or "San Andreas" in terms of CGI and entertainment where you just sit back and enjoy the effects. However, it did distinguish itself from many other generic disaster movies.

If you enjoy the disaster movie genre, and if you have nothing better to do or to watch, then take the time to watch "Earth's Final Hours". I was actually quite entertained by it.

I can enjoy a stupid movie, but the filming of this movie was just unbearable. The camera was constantly bouncing around for no good reason. Even calm scenes indoors where everyone was still, the camera is bouncing, panning, and zooming back and forth... I found it nauseating, and could not bear to finish watching it.

I don't care about the plot so much. Like I say, I can enjoy a stupid movie, so if the camera were just held still at least sometimes, this movie would get a much higher rating from me.

The filming location is very nice and scenic, so there is something good to say... Again, if only the camera were ever still, I could have at least enjoyed the landscape.

PS. This show was so bad that I signed up just to post this review.
