Great Film overall

Awesome Movie

As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

FALLOUT is a sci-fi cheapie for lumbering action man Daniel Baldwin, here at the bottom of his luck. The movie is directed by Rodney McDonald, one of the Z-grade B-movie directors working at the tail-end of the 1990s, and the story is about a rescue mission in outer space that takes place when some nasty Russians hold the very Earth to ransom.Well, APOLLO 13 this isn't; the realism goes out of the window at the outset with the cheap staging and set-bound antics of the cast. The heroine veers on becoming a blonde bimbo and appears to have been cast for her appearance rather than acting ability; the less said about Baldwin's ability to sleepwalk through his part, the better. The villains are singularly unimposing and the film is both predictable and boring.

This movie serves as a good example of a general rule, and should be included as part of the curriculum for film-making courses in the future: If you're going to include a suspenseful, edge of the seats, scene wherein the daring pilot hero, flying by the seat of his pants in a last ditch effort to bring his plummeting ship down safely, is breaking all the rules that ground control is ordering him to follow; ending with all the instruments screaming "Failure! Failure! Catastrophe! Duck and Cover!" or whatever, it's better if you don't intercut the sequence with shots of people watching it through a window, and only reveal that it was just a simulation after the end of the scene. I'm just saying.

As already stated by others, this flick sucks pretty much, however I´d like to point out the score, especially during the end-credits (or should I call it "blacklist"?).It really, really, and I mean really sounds like a poor spoof of Klaus Doldinger´s "Convoy"-Track from "The Boat"-Score.Even Sonar-Pings are in it...But nomen est omen I guess. The Fallout Score was done by David and Eric Wurst, The Wurst-Brothers!!! :o)Wurst is German for Sausage... This Movie sucks, and sucks, and then it´s over...

FALLOUT=fall flat! Mediocre space yarn. Russians taking part in a NASA mission take over a space station and threaten to use nuclear weapons to hold the Earth hostage. Bad acting along with soft special effects are not enough to hold interest. Teri Ann Linn is eye candy and does not have the ability to wake up a lumbering cast featuring Daniel Baldwin, Frank Zagarino, Michael Khmurov and Scott Valentine. Sci-Fi Network fodder.
