oops, I'll write more about why it's so terrible but my toilet is overflowing. Just give me a minute to SHOOT MY GUNS AT THE OVERFLOWING WATER and I'll be right back...
I thought that it was surprisingly decent.. If you watch as many movies as I do, this one is actually above average.. definitely better than the 4.8 rating imo
shareLooks like macecil drowned in his own toiletwater. He never came back :)
shareI agree it was corny and the organism wasn't all that frightening, but I enjoyed it just the same. I like soldier cliche movies. I especially enjoyed when the General bit the big one. Thought he was hot stuff. They couldn't take out the organism with tanks, bombs, rockets and automatic weapons. The General thought a few curses and a .45 caliber pistol would do the job. Hoho. Death on a bowling lane. How fitting for a high-ranking officer in the heat of battle. The colonel should have gotten killed, too. You just can't tell those officers anything because they think they know it all.
Give them a logical explanation of how the organism feeds on energy, so the top officer figures that giving it more energy might give it indigestion and somehow kill it. The army was told not to open the tank in the vault and leave it be, but no, they just had to go open the tank. Well, it would have been a really dull movie if they didn't open the tank.
I thought the two main characters were a good pair, although she should have been ashamed of herself for getting hot and bothered over the teacher even though her beloved, handicapped husband bought the farm earlier in the day. I guess a blood rubdown can be a turnon for soldiers just before they go into battle.
I don't think the movie was terrible, just somewhat silly due to how fast the organism could grow through rocks and sand. I grew fast underground and at night even before being fed energy which would be rather unlikely.
Unlikely? I think not. I used to have weeds in my garden that grew like that.
shareIMHO... this movie was completely awful. Even if I wanted to accept the killer vine that absorbs energy (apparently bullets are energy) and grows just as fast as a cgi computer can make it... THE ACTING wasn't just horrible it was nonexistent!
Everybody! and I mean everybody was terrible. Junior High Christmas pagents have better actors.
Oh my disabled husband died and we are facing the end of the world by a killer plant! But she reacts like she was in a fender bender.
I think Keanu Reeves was the acting coach.
Agreed, completely awful. The soldiers were just too stupid. The stupid situations they put themselves in. The Army/Airforce should be ashamed of a movie like this.
shareI agree, this movie was a total waste of time and money.
shareThis movie is a huge pile of dog sh!t but I love it...
