Annihilation Earth (2009)

Wonderful character development!

What makes it different from others?

This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

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.

"...I don't know!"This simple exchange from the film sums up this appalling film. Appalling. There are no redeeming features. Well, one of the women is quite hot (Nya). Everyones' accents are all over the place. Acting is very basic (apart from a black guy). The plot doesn't make sense. The science doesn't make any sense whatsoever. The special effects don't make sense. Nothing makes sense. Oh, France gets destroyed and there's this hot girl. That's it in terms of the good stuff. Very slow/special needs people might find it entertaining for a few minutes max but someone should make sure they know how to change the channel/hit the stop button.

This stinker is right up there with Titanic 2 although the special effects are marginally better I guess. The holes in the plot are bigger than those created by the collider - too many to mention but I especially loved the way a doctor and paramedics were waiting outside the undamaged hospital for our hero to hand over some injured kiddies while 30 million people had just been wiped out. It seems that emergency services weren't overwhelmed at all and the deadly radiation our heroic team suited up for quickly vanished so the porno actresses, erm I mean "top scientists" could display their own enhanced colliders in fetching cammo singlets. No further comment is required about Marina Sirtis' atrocious "southern" accent.It's a shame because the basic premise of this woeful waste of time would probably make quite a good movie and Luke Goss should be given a chance to redeem himself with a decent plot, script and half-way competent cast.

Whoever thought Marina Sirtis could pull off a Southern accent should go straight back to casting school. Marina herself should be ashamed at even accepting the role. Her acting is dreadful. Most of the other so called actors don't turn in a half decent performance either. The movie is an insult not only to SCI FI Fans but to movie lovers in general. The pace, the effects, down to the half baked storyline all make for a very weak piece of wasted 90 minutes. Certainly the premise for the film is good but it is poorly executed on so many levels. I am constantly amazed at how some projects get off the ground. Watch for the supermodel types supposedly scientists. A priceless line delivered collegen injected lips as they swing by in an obviously CGI created chopper "I've never seen anything like this, makes Hiroshima and Nagasaki looks small in comparison". Annihilation Earth is excruciating and should have been annihilated from the outset. Don't waste your time - Marina Sirtis is an embarrassment to actors everywhere!

I didn't expect much from this movie and honestly, I guess I can say I got what I asked for, so I give it an extra star for delivering what was expected.This movie had a minimal plot, horrible acting, so-so special effects, and too many holes to make it believable. I agree with the other post above that the only thing that was impressive was the ending. Not your typical disaster film.I have to point out one area that no one has mentioned thus far. The lab assistants -- Did anyone notice the fact that the two women were overly attractive for the role that they were playing. Not to mention their purpose was pointless. They had very few lines and those they did they hardly even got them out without it sounding like it was being fed off a teleprompter.I love the fact that terrorists got into a facility with loaded weapons without even a problem. My gas station on the corner has better security protocols than this place did. I think the movie would of been more believable had they made it a 2 part mini series and expanded on the terrorists actually circumventing the security within the facility rather than them just showing up and shooting everyone without a single guard around.
