Doomsday Prophecy (2011)

I love this movie so much

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely the worst movie.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

This was a bad movie made even worse by the lack of care and continuity. AJ Buckley plays a character called Eric Fox. However, in a scene in an SUV, he holds onto the door handle displaying a tattoo on the inside of his left wrist that plainly says "Joe." Now, either AJ (Joe) Buckley has the tattoo and someone missed it (make-up person and/or continuity person!?) or the character's left wrist is called "Joe" or the character has a thing for someone called "Joe."This is about typical for this movie. which did not ask us to just suspend our disbelief but also our credulity. Oh yeah . . . the SFX were shamefully cheap and hokey.

After reading a comment on here about this movie being poor, I almost didn't watch this movie but out of boredom I thought how bad can it be. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. First up, the acting was great and there were quite a few cameo appearances early in the movie. Cameo as most of them were all killed off in massive disasters. The rest of the acting was good and by well known TV grade actors and applause to a job well done for the two lead actors who kept me rivited right to the end. The special effects which I was expecting to be crappy were actually quite reasonable and spot on for what one expects from a made for TV movie. All up I was disappointed when the movie ended because I was enjoying it so much. This is definitely a movie to add to your watch list. Now comes the spoilers: The movie is about the earth's up coming demise in 2012 when the earth reaches galactic allignment. AT this time a rogue dark star enters the solar system and the gravitational pull from this causes massive plate shifts resulting in earth quakes and the destruction of cities. Some of the destruction is shown in some fairly reasonable special effects whilst others is just talked about on the radio but then again why would you show Canada being destroyed when the story is elsewhere ? There is a gun battle and a chase spanning two days as a rogue government agent tries obtrain an ancient device our lead actors managed to get just in the nick of time. I wont tell you more because it will ruin a perfectly good story. Enjoy.

This is a TV movie so I judge it on that level. Special effects are costly and TV movies don't have those types of budgets. I am not an acting coach so I would say the acting is fine. They do have a director that tells the actors his vision of how the story should be portrayed. The beginning is very thought provoking with part of a sea having disappeared into the Earth. It moved rather quickly so I had a hard time grasping what was happening at first.A famous author, Crane, is making predictions in his books that are coming true. It is an end of times type of prophecy but I didn't hear it connected to 2012 directly. Basically there is a dark star and an interaction with an alignment of the equator of the galaxy. They don't know how it will affect the Earth but they state it will cause a lot of change. As you watch the movie, it is destroying the Earth.There is a rod that gives certain people visions and the government or what appears to be the military is trying to get hold of it. This is mostly what the chasing and shooting in the movie is about. They are chasing a woman, Brooke and a man the author passed on information to and then died. The young man is named Eric Fox and works for a publisher and has come to collect another manuscript Crane has supposedly written. It was a ruse and he left him the rod. He began to have visions when he touched it. He left them a video recording and told the both of them that it did indeed give him visions but it had a dark side, it sapped one of their life force. He also told Fox it was his birthright. Naturally he didn't know anything about his parents. Therefore it was just another piece of an extremely large puzzle. One by one cities are being decimated. The two go on a quest to save the world in twelve hours and have very little idea as to what to do. A strange girl approaches them and takes them to see her Father. He is Native American and there are symbols on rocks that they never understood. He speaks of Ancients that are supposed to have saved the planet in the past. There is a connection to Easter Island and the alignments in space. They believe there is a second set of symbols right there. He believes these people were aware of what was to come in the future. They believe with the rod and these alignments/symbols they can save the Earth.Basically from this point they are being chased to get the rod, they are trying to avoid the people chasing them, figure out what everything means and save the Earth before midnight. It is typical of doomsday types of movies. I found it entertaining but of course your usual Syfy fare, no better or worse.

Here again, I was looking forward tonight to watching a new disaster movie and with hopefully awesome special effects as in the movie 2012. Instead of spending money creating awesome special effects, the film makers chose instead to report various cities and countries' destruction via TV and radio special news reports. When NYC was destroyed, the few seconds of destruction were shown in a window's reflection! What a joke! The film makers instead used up the movie's time with idiotic and nothing but annoying car chases and shoot-outs, which were totally unnessary to the story. You can view better special effects by watching The Weather Channel's "It Could Happen Tomorrow"! If I had known, I wouldn't have wasted my time and I advise you not to waste your time with this stinker either!
