Zodiac (2014)

Good concept, poorly executed.

Fresh and Exciting

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Me and my girlfriend got to talking about Nicolas Cage this evening and decided to find the crappiest movie we could based on star ratings from IMDb in recent time without him in it, and then watch it for some reason. This one met all the requirements. Thanks guys.Watching this movie made me wonder if crap-movies is a genre, because it seems like the people who make these films really try. We even watched the credits, which listed a surprising amount of people being involved in the making of this one, like the the three chefs they had on set, and the guy driving some heavy equipment. Not surprisingly was the fact that the movie only had one melody, the one from all the shows on the history channel which is scientifically proved to make anything exiting.Oh, and he did NOT say "Great Scott" just there, he just did not do that....and that make-out scene at the end with the dad looking like he was in a bit of a "rapy" mood followed by sudden credits...all gold.Thanks Obama :)

Watched this movie while on my exercise bike and I am not sure what was more painful - my burning thighs or my burning eyes. Signs of why it should be called DISASTER! - Signs of the coming poo storm 1. The whole movie looks like it was shot in rural Canada - you want me to believe you are in Peru try not have Canadian Pine trees in the scene behind you. 2. The graphics were rendered by Community College students. 3.The actors and actresses all play typical one dimensional characters. Teenage soon - aggressive hates his Dad, Dad loves his son but can't communicate to him. 4. Roping in Christopher Lioyd to play none other than a scientist - and a drunk one at that! I reckon he was really drunk for the roll once he realized what a crap movie he was on. Oh the things we do to pay the bills dear Christoper.5. Plot holes filled with poo 6. The so called Dept of Defense unit act as though they are managing an order at McDonalds. 7. Car out runs a tsunami!!!!! 8 The Dept of Defense leader goes in ALONE!? in the final showdown and tells the heli piolt to f off like he is some badass then he proceeds to fight like a school kid. While the main lead scientist who is suppose to be a big nerd seems to fight like he was a pro wrestler when the time comes for it. 9. Most "events" involve using giant fans to blow lots of dirt around - waiting for when poo would hit the fan. Tornado can suck up a woman but cant lift a truck or anything around them.. 10. Syfy channel funding.I can see the ambition but its better to pool some more money to make a better movie (please spend more money on FX) than produce little poo storms :-)There is a scene where they threw in a saying from Back to the Future "Great Scott" Dr Emmitt Brown says this on the classic "Back to the Future"I think the actors all knew this was one big joke of a movie and where to busy trying to impress Christopher Lloyd than worry about the poo storm of a movie they were on.

So many other things you could do with your time rather than watch this movie.Maybe contact someone you've been meaning to but never seems to find the time. Do that chore you've been putting off. Or even watch something else.Sorry to say that this is a terrible movie, the plots is weak, the special effects are especially poor, and the movie makes no sense whatsoever.Really can't state this enough but do something else rather than watch this!

The whole plot to this movie was well thought out and rather interesting, even though it was predictable... In short the story was intriguing but the graphics were disappointing. I have seen older movies with better graphics, if they had just spent more time on making it a bit more realistic it would have been more enjoyable. Most of the effects looked plastic. But for the acting, it was impressive for a homemade movie, especially since they didn't use the most attractive actors for main characters. Gives it a bit more of a realistic view cause to me, movies like that make it seem like only the perfect people get to be the main characters. In short: Story was wonderful. Acting was good. And the graphics were disappointing.
