This movie was awful.. not enough special effects, 3 hours long? What a waste. Bad acting. I wish I could get back the 3 hours I lost watching this horrible mini series movie. It looked good in the trailer, but failed to deliver.
This mini series commited all the movie making mishaps concievable. PERIOD How is it possible that something like this gets produced? It had a really good idea behind it, with all the whole man made tidal waves as a terrorist weapon concept- but its like they purposefully blundered the whole thing. no 1 thing- when the 'scientists' were dicussing the wave that hit N.J, they were talking like a bunch of people using words that they didnt even know the meaning of, really didnt convince me that they were "qualified" scientists etc. 2 Who the hades did the editing? That one speech where the main bad guy was 'rehearsing' his televised 'humble' take over of Victor Barristers company after his 'unfortunate demise'should have been edited down to a few sentances. 3 The obvious plot connivings, like the scene where Mcaddams was framed for the murder of the other scientist, was waaay too obvious. Besides, that trick where the innocent guy grabs the murder weapon and stands there looking like an idget, has been used a trillion times. It got old after about the 50th usage of it. Well thats just my take on it. I was disapointed to say the least. Dont waste your time if you havent already.
That plot device was fresh (sort of) in North by Northwest. Here it's like a 6th-former trying to impress his drama teacher. Pathetic, from start to finish.
