Four recent sci-fi mediocrities
ECHO BRIDGE's SCI-FI COLLECTOR'S 4-FILM SET gathers together some less-than-inspiring fantasies on two DVDs. Note that EB (aka "Platinum Disc") movies superimpose a faint logo every so often. Their transfers are decent but not perfect. Despite low viewer ratings, this 4-fer still may be worthwhile to diehard sci-fiers, but only if you can catch a good deal on it.
SYNOPSES--
BLACK HOLE - Calcutta tourist destination this ain't! When a space critter passes through a man-made astral phenomenon, it threatens the destruction of St. Louis by first devouring the electric grid. The Pentagon gets in on the fun with a slated nuclear launch against the abandoned city.
LAST SENTINEL - A tired premise: technology attacks its creator, only-fair special FX and a weak cast make for slow going. Throw in a cybercized cop and beauty queen out to save the world and this bad film gets pretty dismal.
FINAL DAYS - Archaeologists discover underground bug-aliens...
4 BORING FILMS THE KIDS MIGHT LIKE
If you like made for TV science fiction, heavy on the fiction, type movies, then here is your 4 pack. I found the movies rather boring and I knew I would find them boring too, but the temptation of a discount 4 pack was too much for me. So I said, "What the heck?" It was only $5.00, so what could I lose other than $5.00 and 6 hours of my life?
The movies aren't complete busts, and are only mildly entertaining. They are a step above Asylum movies, but not a large step.
Now if I was about 10 years old and couldn't get enough sci-fi, such a gift, especially on blue-ray and for less than a dollar (plus shipping) might be worth while. I don't recall much in the way of adult action and words.
If you liked the horrendous "Ice Age 2012" because you thought it was a good flick,you will love this 4 pack.
Looks like something from syfy :)
I love scifi or syfy (if you will) and while most of these have been seen on tv.... They are keepers.
Great shows
