I have to say that I decided to look at this while I was waiting for my wife to return from a girl party and I had absolutely nothing else to do.....otherwise I probably wouldn't have even noticed it.......that said, this movie is exactly the type of fare that has pretty much ended my viewer-ship of the SyFy channel........I mean it was so boring I found it hard to believe anyone paid for this drivel........clearly, if the zombie-like performances of the actors is any indication, the director, if there was one, phoned it in.......I mean there was a director listed but judging from the performances, i wonder.

As well, I wondered who was responsible for this absolutely awful (not in a plan 9 good way) movie.......and I discovered it was from the same producers that brought us quite a bit of the worst scifi in history.......all shown with great relish on the SyFy channel of course..........the story consists of name dropping every mysterious place and every conceivable end time prophecy from the history channel.......and our heroes being chased around by the thugs of a nebulous gov't group of course, highlighted by large chunks of the earth cracking or otherwise sinking out of sight........interspersed with rehashing explanations a la Tom Hanks and describing laughingly precise visions or dreams..........all in all, really sophomoric and tiresome........very quickly, early-on tiresome.

Jewel Staite was the worst i've ever seen her........sad for an actress that was fairly good when she was younger......A.J. Buckley should stick with CSI for as long as possible and save his money because if he keeps doing this sort of thing he will definitely disappear as an actor.......he is after all, a mediocre talent at best.

Keep it up SyFy, keep buying this Canadian crap and you will probably disappear too.......I realize that churning out this hopelessly awful junk makes work for a lot of people and promotes North American trade and all that that entails but is it really fair to keep inflicting this crap on us, the unsuspecting public?.......of course if you put us off scifi then maybe we will appreciate wrestling and reality shows more...........if that's your plan it will not work because there are plenty of other sources of great scifi........I promise you, you won't fool me again.
