Final Days of Planet Earth (2006)

I love this movie so much

Good movie but grossly overrated

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

Yes. I was drawn to this film as I thought it would be based on the excellent book "The Last Legends of Earth" by the incomparable A A Attanasio (a story about an alien spider race that feed on pain). It's not though. Boo!I do wonder, however, weather Mr Attanasio is familiar with this movie, or if his lawyers are.. I recommend people buy the book. It will restore your faith in the genre. And who knows, maybe some clever film producer will read it and put the money in to make it into an epic (but risky) film.!Pity, but this could have been so much better. Anyone got any recommendations for epic and intelligent sci-fi movies?

Writer Christian Ford and director Robert Lieberman took on the task of crafting this Science fiction film to fit the Television screen. Although it's slow to catch your attention, it soon has one really interested. The layout story concerns a Archeology professor William Phillips (Campbell Scott) who is engrossed with an interesting ancient find, found near the city proper. Things at the dig become curious when one of his students disappears while searching there. However, other strange occurrence began mounting when the police abruptly close off the dig and then seal it with loads of concrete. Pursuing the incident further, Phillips is warned then ordered to stay away from the dig site altogether. Continuing the matter up with city officials they give him the big stall. He becomes doubly curious when one city clerk offers him a special note to a certain 'Room 86.' He is then steered further away from the dig by a high ranking commissioner of the Police and a helpful city employee named Liz Quinlan (Daryl Hannah). However, other queer events add to his ongoing mystery when citizens of various occupations began disappearing after visiting Room 86. The movie begins to escalate when other strange events start to mount. Bird watchers began noticing that birds have cease their chirping, criminals and homeless vagabonds vanish for no reason at all and the police become criminally uncooperative to the point of being unresponsive and brutal. Taken as a whole the movie should be listed as a 'B' picture, but then slowly evolves into a worthwhile effort. So much so, that unusual features add to it's story with a higher star rating than it began. The acting is convincing, so too the dialog and then finally the special effects crowns the finished product. As such I recommend this feature to anyone interested in a good picture gone great. ****

Dear Darryl Hannah,I picked this one up at the dollar store. You owe me a dollar. Or coffee at Dunk's.I promise not to bring up how "Splash" and "Roxanne" were apparently flukes.I promise not to say "Botox" or anything that rhymes with "Botox" as a snarky way of saying "Botox."I promise not to mention "At Play in the Fields of the Lord" or "Clan of the Cave Bear," even though both those dreadful movies that nobody under the age of 40 ever heard of were far superior to this.I promise not to ask you what you had to do with Quentin Tarantino to get into those "Kill Bill" movies. If only because Roxanne/Popeye coupling is so disturbing to imagine.I promise not to say "Australian Mini-Series" in a Paul Hogan accent.I promise not to say "What the hell happened to your career?" in a Paul Hogan accent.Finally, I promise to use this DVD as a coaster when we get that coffee at Dunk's.Sincerely,That Guy Who Saw You In "Splash" And "Roxanne" And Thought You Were The Bees Knees But Now Wonders What The Hell He Was Thinking

Insectoid aliens are trying to take over the Earth... by breeding in the sewers and walking around inside empty human shells. They somehow have some connection with the Moon, dead people and they like to spawn in inflammable places. Guess what happens in the end.There is nothing in the movie that warrants attention. It's not very good and it's not very bad, there is absolutely no way it stands out amongst other similar films, it just sucked in a very predictable way, so it didn't even disappoint much.Bottom line: watch it only if you like the Syfy channel movie quality...
