Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Brainsbell The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
GrizzlyB Has a B movie feel to it, but if you figure that out early, then Yes, sit back and have fun. My homophobia didn't get to out of whack. Typical bad-ass corporation messes everybody up with sulphur dioxide emissions. The kids fight for their lives. Bet you think twice about frolicking in the rain.
starman-wa Couldn't find this movie in IDMB under the title of Dark Skies but that is what is called on the DVD I have...I found the characters in this movie interesting and mostly believable - there were some scenes that were very cringe-worthy but I thought that was mostly the directors fault rather than the actors - this occurred on several occasions where say two people were having a conversation and someone else was approaching well within their peripheral vision but neither notices...this was annoying as the acting was pretty good for a low budget movie.Yes the science is not sound by any means, but if you take the scenario for what it is - a disaster in a localised area with a different plot to most disaster films I've seen, then it's quite an enjoyable film.I found the movie flowed well and was well shot and as mentioned the acting was better than some a grade movies.
dave_matthes This movie has it all - bad acting, bad story, bad science, improbable scenarios,....I started watching this thinking it was the Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia Black Rain which is what the guide said it was. After a few howlers, we pulled the plug.Release of sulfur dioxide into atmosphere from an industrial mishap can create sulfuric acid of such a concentration to eat through car axles???? and the on-purpose reason for the mishap was to generate business for a toxic clean up company???? the mastermind (and I use the term loosely) of the mishap was a robotic woman who headed up the clean up company driving around in a Ford Mustang which gives you an idea of the very low budget of this movie - a Geo Metro would have been more appropriate.
cziflig In brief: Some college campers happen upon a guy in the woods who turns out to be a brainiac wunderkind chemist who dropped out of society after getting burned by a former employer. Now, that employer is hatching a plot to wreak biological havoc on a city for profit. Not a big budget thriller, but a nice little ride, nonetheless. The characters are interesting and each has an issue or a mystery that comes out and adds to the story. The story really moves, and while it may be fiction, the idea behind the "toxic storm" (if you're willing to go along for the ride) is not so far-fetched, and makes for a suspenseful movie. Worth a watch.
