Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
From my favorite movies..
I am going to have to stop picking DVD's on their cover graphics, which was the case for EPOCH. This is a comedy ? yes ? must be because I laughed a lot. EPOCH is not just a stereotype, but a STEREOTYPE of a stereotype. Lets see what I can remember..... alien chamber with long threads of vapour inside, check. Entities a copy of the ones from ABYSS, check. Ethereal off key male voices, intermittent kettle drums with the odd bass drum to raise tension, check. Thuggish trigger happy US rangers invading a sovereign nation, check. Incompetent officers at loggerheads, check. A nuclear weapon with red number countdown, check. A scientist trying to defuse such bomb with a Swiss Army knife,check. The artifact collapsing with giant rocks falling down ( Indiana Jones, the Mummy etc. ) Aliens deciding that we are worth saving eventually, check. Last, but not least, a virgin pregnancy. I watched it all the way through ignoring the "turkey meter " warning horn. I don't normally do this so it MUST have some entertainment value which I am unable to fathom. Over to you, folks !
View MoreWhile not bad Epoch could have been much better. With a higher budget this could have easily been along side such films as Mission To Mars, but with the limitations this movie had, Matt Codd and crew did a good job. The script is decent overall with some bits of cool dialouge and a few cool scenes. David Keith gives a good performance as Mason Rand but the two standouts from my perspective were Brian Thompson and James Hong. Thompson was very good as the god fearing Captain Tower and James Hong was excellent (as usual) as the Chinese ambassador. Other than those three the acting remains good all across the board. The directing was slick for the most part and the movie cruised along fairly quickly. All in all Epoch is an excellent straight-to-video film that could have easily been a sleeper summer hit, if only the budget was larger.
View MoreThis movie (if you can call it a movie) is by far the worst creation on the face of the earth. My home made videos are 20 times as good as this piece of cr@p which is not saying much at all.The story line is just horrific the actors are horrible and the special effects are just downright lame.This movie deserves the Worst Movie Ever award.I have never been so disgusted in my life. I just wasted 5.50 cents renting this movie when i could have rented a nice Xbox game.This movie is cr@p Don't watch it at all unless you want to see how stupid these people are but don't expect it to occupy you for more than 10 minutes.
View MoreEvery cliche you can think of is in this movie. A good game to play is 'say the line before the actor does'. Here's your starter for 10 points ... "I'm not paid to think" (hint - a soldier's line). Would probably appeal to 11 year old boys with nothing better to do on a wet Sunday afternoon. The only good thing I can say about this movie is it would be great to show when you have a few friends round so you can pick it to bits for fun.
