Anyone else seen this abomination? I would warn everyone from going to see it, but misery loves company, and I want to share the pain I still feel from this film with others.

My review: Think of the worst Syfy (the channel) movie that you've part watched, but couldn't finish. This film is worse. I think that it's easily the worst film that I've seen at the cinema in my life, and I've seen maybe about 1,000. I can't believe someone gave money to make this based on the script that was on the screen. I truly believe that I could have written a better one when I was 14.

I imagine that it won't last more than this week, so you had better rush if you want to see it. And if you do, please leave a comment here, to confirm that I didn't just dream going to it.

Took a gamble on it last Friday in Cineworld and we walked out after about 40 minutes. To put that in context, I don't think I've ever walked out on a movie before.

Absolutely horrendous acting, dialogue and scene to scene flow. The special effects and stuff are also shocking, but you can forgive that due to budgetary limitations. This isn't a case of turning the nose up at a financially challenged effort, I really wanted it to kick into any sort of gear and stop being so infuriatingly dumb. Patience all gone and nipped out to catch a screening of Anchorman (which was okay).

I have to imagine / hope that Irish cinema has far superior efforts in it at that budget range...

I didn't get the sense that this was supposed to be deliberately awful.

Glad to see that it wasn't just me who bore witness to this. I also thought about walking out of my first film ever. However, pure stubborness and the fact that I would have had to go through another poor sucker stopped me.

Can we cast our votes for the worst film of the year yet?

Went to see it the other night since my sister did makeup on it.

my god it was woeful

- Story made no sense
- Characters weren't developed

Just a bad bad movie

I watched the first 40 minutes and then myself and my date left. The nail in the coffin was the mention of the meteor by one of the ladies who wasn't from that time. Before that point no one had mentioned what caused the catastrophe that killed all the humans !!

the woman who was in the kitchen talking

then screams and is covered in burns

The same woman who was taken away by monsters and stole a map/piece of paper that thought her how to use the Large Hadron Collider and knew how the system worked better than the scientist who worked in there.

The woman who got her foot trapped in thin air and was burnt alive

I'm glad it wasn't just me then.
The film had been so bad up to that point that I thought I'd missed that detail somewhere along the way.

Absolutely appalling filmmaking. I support Irish cinema as much as possible, but I'll be reconsidering my stance after sitting through that monstrosity.

They had a great location (an abandoned hotel near Maynooth), but didn't even create any sort of atmosphere with it.
I worked on an upcoming feature that shot there and I got some shock when I recognised the huge metal door in the basement.
