the audience applauded

Just what I expected

Absolutely Fantastic

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

This is the FIRST film I have ever scene where, when a soldier gets shot and killed actually screams OWWWW!! or screams in pain when hit. Other than that, when any film brings in religion as a subtext...That is, in a SciFi film, it simply does not work. Even Faith Domergue would have never worn a cross on a chain in her cult classic films. Has anyone noticed that in the last 10 years of film-making the book of GENESIS seems to appear more and more? As an instance where religion DOES show its face is in the H.G.Wells 2005 version of WAR OF THE WORLDS with C. Thomas Howell which did mention the BOOK OF REVELATIONS in its script. In this film, which got some fairly good ratings from viewers when I saw it on the SYFY Channel, when people die, they also do not make any noise of pain when they die. I believe H.G.Wells was an Atheist or Agnostic in case the writers of this version read his book. If anyone has ever been around a real death or wounding of a human, you will remember audible screams of pain.

Wow...what can I type that will make this seem like it is worth reading? Awful and atrocious sets...even for a low budget.Plot that stinks worse than week old diapers.Performanes of wood and not even good wood...rotten wood, full of mildew and mold and worms and stench.Plot...was there one? Oh yeah...I already made a comment about plot.Computer graphics...maybe it's time to start drawing stick figures and happy faces. They look better.Continuity...almost as good as the MUSIC...which is almost as good as garbage, but not so entertaining.Camera work and editing...the bad part is that it sucked...and the good part is that it sucked.Plot...oh yeah...none.The entire movie was just nasty mess of everything that should not ever be made on film.If there is one piece of advice that you will ever take from a stranger...take this. If you are so desperate to watch this...then count backwards from 5 million and do it while chewing bubblegum and skipping rope, because you will enjoy it ten times more and it will make just as much sense.

This was one of those "oh, look, I've never heard of this movie, wonder what it's like, let's give it a try" rentals.It didn't take very long to get the impression that it was a sequel to ANOTHER movie we'd never heard of, and why we hadn't. Not so much bad, as. . . strange. Is that character a baddie, or is the actress merely not very good? Now I discover that the disjointed dialogue is at least partially due to dubbing. Bulgaria, hmm? Well, that explains all the beautiful country landscapes alternating with anonymous soundstage interiors.The distressing part was, this was a good idea that will never be made into a good movie, because someone already made this movie.Spoiler - I did like the glowing floating jellyfish . . . thing inside the Torus, and the special effect of zapping people into some strange white-lit space - and then back to where they'd been before. Inexplicable, and strange in a good way. I got the feeling that whoever/whatever was behind the Toroiwas doing some High Weirdness, and it came out looking like what we were seeing. Then it was back to wooden acting, dubbed dialogue and inexplicable plot development. <Sigh>

Epoch: Evolution is nowhere near as good as the original, although David Keith and Billy Dee Williams do wonders with the week script. The original was better in every possible way, especially acting wise. The movie was filmed in Bulgaria to save movie and most of the cast had to their voices dubbed over. The special effects are decent, but for it's time and miniscule budget Epoch was able to pull off much better visuals. While the original had a fair amount of drama, and a few thrilling scenes Epoch 2 is dull.
