Day of Reckoning Audience Reviews

Diagonaldi Very well executed
Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Mike Boyd Yes, honest, I actually enjoyed it, so gave it a 6.OK, it was pretty bad but the idea was pretty original. The actors were passable - even the guy who played Grandpa (who apparently can only talk in a slow deliberate, boring voice) he wasn't too bad in this silly film.Sure, there were lots of plot holes, like where the heck did they actually manage to climb out of where they live to come to the surface? I mean, most bore holes are pretty narrow...Yes, the CGI was pretty lame, but as long as you don't LOOK for the problems and use your imagination, it wasn't too bad.I still can't get over the fact that I'm writing something positive about an Epic Pictures Group film. I must go see my doctor.
Marquise Conyers The summary of this "thriller" movie was honestly the most exciting part of this horror show (pun intended). It had a great start, the characters were introduced in an obvious manner to let you know who were going to be key characters to the "plot", but as the movie progressed, the writers seemed to aggressively remove your choice of who to like and who to be suspicious of. The plot itself was very elegant in the fact that there seemed to be a really thought out story under the hideous coat of bad animations (there's obvious lag in the CGI and it was very annoying when there was a group of monsters and it looked as though the 1989 computer that processed this was begging to be freed from such medieval torture), stage fright acting, and overall underwhelming tone. It also felt as though there was no character development apart from the obvious divorced- parents-getting-back-together trope that was smashed in your face at the very beginning. This removed any chance to develop a relationship with any of the characters. What was extremely laughable was that the "divorced" wife instantly started dating her co-worker after a small remark, and he became apart of the family within what seemed like a day or so. What horrified me the most was the very annoying color palette switches between frames; not scenes or even chapters, but literal frames changed hues and saturation and it was very noticeable. The modern era touch with RGB spectrum colors would have been very nice if the colors had stayed consistent. Another thing, this movie takes place 15 years after the first event and no one has the slightest idea of what happened besides people died. 15 YEARS and yet the only information that was compiled was, "They come from underground and a table spoon of salt will stop them". The plot falls apart right there. Neil Armstrong could make 675 back to back trips to the moon in the time between the first event and the second. How did no one learn any valuable information about these creatures in that same time span yet they made sure there were sirens and one shelter (which just so happens to get destroyed) The premise of the plot is highly unbelievable, even for a movie. As well, nothing is really ever explained in the plot or through dialogue. It felt as though the "suspense" that was created was very intentional and it showed. For instance, Ted's wife gets bit and she makes a comment that is later forgotten until the "climactic" scene where she barely tries to take the pistol (that she was holding at first but somehow ended up in Ted's possession) and attempt to kill herself but just gets eaten. I've been ranting but let's end on a good note. Remember when the blond teenage girl cut the head off of one small snake and all of the sudden the knives became her signature weapon? What happened to those knives when the big snake grabbed her ankle with a smaller tentacle and all she did was watch for a full 5 seconds before she was pulled to the ground at -5 mph? I had never laughed so hard! She killed one snake and became a professional knife-stress!
Paul Riley A vote of 1 is too good for this movie. I stopped viewing after a few minutes.You could tell from the start it was going to be awful with the cardboard acting.The CGI must be an example of the worst CGI possible, it makes old Sinbad Plasticine creature look 100% real. ( I loved the old Sinbad movies as a kid)Why do these people even bother? I downloaded it for free and feel cheated and criminal that it took space on my hard drive.I worry about people that voted this above 1
Crash Froelich I've given up on the SyFy Channel. This is typical of all their productions. Terrifying and spectacular scenes involving CGI monsters/aliens/whatever separated by deserts of arid narrative with little or no purpose other than taking the characters to the next scene involving CGI. It's just crap. Some visual engagement but zero intellectual value otherwise. The suits at SyFy either are idiots or venal purveyors of weird trash -- or both. Don't waste your time. There's so little artistic value, other than the yeoman efforts of the put-upon casts, that I honestly believe SyFy is soliciting scripts from middle-schoolers. With a title like "Day of Reckoning" and the very rare religious references made in dialog, one might suspect that some attempt at rationalizing the cause of a disaster threatening the existence of the human race might be made. One would be mistaken in that assumption. There's nothing here. Watching while drunk might improve the experience.
