Quantum Apocalypse (2010)

Sorry, this movie sucks

Fresh and Exciting

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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

I know very little about computers and even less about quantum physics, but enjoyed all the hookum put forth in the Sci-Fi channel presentation. I loved the basic story of a giant asteroid/magnetic anomaly/space and time bending "THING" suddenly changing directions and heading for where? Of course....EARTH!!!Yes, the CGI was barely acceptable and clearly they had a tiny budget for this wing-dinger of a far out story, but I did love all the scientific mumbo-jumbo in the dialog.The acting in general was sub-par, but didn't make me sick. The camera work, music and editing was OK, just. I also, though a neophyte around all computers, I did see that the computers of NASA and the savant were pretty basic. Certainly not powerful enough to figure out all those complex mathematical formulas needed to stop this weird thing from outer space. Budget again...... All in all this was a film that I hated but at the same time enjoyed in a twisted kind of way. I can see fit to give it a 5/10.

My wish for the new year is that the Sy-Fy Channel take some of it's money to purchase some old TV series, or create some new ones, and run them instead of giving us crap like this movie. Either that or take the money it spends on any 5 of these films, put it all together, and try to make at least one decent film.While the premise of the film was halfway decent, the execution of it was dismal. Horrible special effects, terrible acting, bad writing...you name it, it's all here. Pretty much everyone who "acted" in this movie was bad with the exception of Rhett Giles, the autistic savant, Jenna Craig, as his niece (even though her part was pretty small), and Shirly Brener as the teen love interest (those 3 were the only reason I gave this a 2 rating. Without them...a zero). The effects are standard Sy-Fy badness. There a scene with a tornado that takes an 8" square porch column and hurls it into the sky, but instead of snapping it into pieces it bends and wiggles like a worm as it floats upward. And please, don't get me started about the lame dialog exchange between the two guys while they're fighting over Ms. Brener and the extreme overacting of her ex- boyfriend. No wonder she dropped him.All in all this was the kind of movie that would have me pulling the plug on the Sy-Fy channel for good if it wasn't for some of the series that are on there. Like I said earlier...MORE SERIES, LESS MADE FOR TV MOVIES.

Oh where to begin? How about with the title, Quantum Apocalypse? For a start the film makers don't seem to understand what 'Quantum' means.Not a good start.Then there's the mysterious space jelly that somehow moves around on it's own affecting everything in it's path but only when it's facing them.The special effects look as though they were put together by a film student. A bad film student who is currently failing to pass any classes at all. Earth is seen from Mars and looks closer than the Moon! The script is appalling and was probably scribbled onto the back of napkins in between scenes.The acting is terrible and the characters generally unlikeable. 'Rock star' scientists? Give me strength.The autistic guy apparently just watched Rain Man a couple of times and then tried (and failed) to copy Dustin Hoffman.To say this was a disappointment is an understatement, a disappointment is no toy in your Kinder Surprise, this is a crime against humanity.However there is one glimmer of hope. Someone, somewhere gave these morons 2.5 million dollars to create this cr*p and with standards this low we could all try and get the first brain fart we come up with made into a movie. Or just take the money and blow it in Vegas. Let's be honest that would be better as no one else would have to suffer through our creation.Avoid. Go watch Malibu Shark Attack instead, it's dreadful but at least laughably dreadful.

In the city of Parish, the Major Ben Marshall lives with his autistic brother Terry, his son Leo, his daughter Samantha and his second wife Lynne. When a comet changes its route and collides on Earth, the scientists discover that an anomaly is the cause and they bring two geniuses to join their team in the research. They find that the anomaly is a gravitational vacuum indeed and mankind is doomed to annihilation. But Terry convinces his brother Ben to drive him to Houston to save the planet."Quantum Apocalypse" is an unbelievably absurd and lame film. It is amazing how awful it is: story, screenplay, director, cast, special effects, characters, nothing works in this terrible movie. I found strange that three users "loved" this crap and I found the typical of fake reviews since the three users have only one review in IMDb. Unfortunately I am not able to go back to the past like in the story and in the end I lost 94 minutes of my life watching this dreadful film. My vote is one.Title (Brazil): "O Apocalipse" ("The Apocalypse")
