Cognitive Science Movie Reviews

It takes only a few minutes to see how awful this thing is. The film starts out with some jets involved in a high-speed, transcontinental race. Well, our hero pilot Grant (Antonio Sabato Jr.) decides that he needs to be refueled.

Have you ever seen a pit crew refuel a car out on the track during a NASCAR race? Nope...neither have I. It would be kinda dangerous I imagine. Well, Grant's jet gets refueled by another plane while they are in the direct flight path of the other racing jets. What happens? Duh...there is a horrible collision and three pilots (along with 11 spectators...huh?) end up dead. Nice move guys.

Perhaps the funniest, and most pathetic, event in the film happens a bit later. Several years have passed since the tragic jet race incident and we are listening to an executive of the network which had done a live broadcast of the race. The executive says...are you ready?...he says that the footage of the jets colliding during the race was the highest rated piece of news footage that they had shown during the past four years. Unbelievable!! Talk about a future world in which nothing exciting happens. Must be boring.

Other things to look for are a guy who is somehow making a coughing noise while his mouth isn't even moving. Also, a scene where a shirtless Sabato Jr. is about to put on a tank top. He picks it up but the camera changes angles and now it's nowhere to be seen. Then the camera changes angles again and he's pulling it over his head. Great editing!

Everything is bargain basement in this film except for the halfway decent acting. With a paper thin plot and awful effects, though, I strongly recommend not wasting your time watching this dreck. A final note...with no nudity and no graphic violence, I have no clue as to why this is rated R.

i'll give this movie a chance. it's quite enjoyable.

The year is 1998, six years after a nuclear war has leveled the earth. Don't you love sci-fi movies that make dire futuristic predictions, just so we can live through the very years that are supposed to be among mankind's worst? Anyway, a band of two women and three men, all army deserters, find a strange bunker laboratory where an experiment gone awry waits to pick them off one by one... if you have chills from this plot description, turn down your air conditioner. This same exact plot has been done to death in so many films, I am sick of mentioning it, although I just did. What is wrong with this film? Where do I begin?

The budget is so low, when characters run down the main laboratory hallway, you can tell it is obviously a self storage locker building someplace. The band of deserters have deserted the army, even though the long prologue tells us the earth is a burnt out shell. Who is the army fighting if everyone was killed by the nuclear fallout and acid rain? The army must also be desperate for recruits. Count how many times a creature or giant rat attacks someone while another cast members just stands there and watches, "frozen in fear." The creature, looking like a giant dung beetle (how appropriate, he should have started eating the script first), is never explained, except for some talk about amino acids. There is a scene that rips off "Alien"'s dinner time/chest explosion scene, except the budget was so low, the guy has a hissy fit and spits black goo. After most of the cast is killed, the lone survivor kills the creature. The creature then regenerates a killer baby through its head, and the survivor must fight the baby, eventually killing it by strangling it with its own umbilical cord... nice, huh? How did the baby regenerate? I do not know, and the film makers decided it was not important enough to explain.

Linnea Quigley finds time with all the hullabaloo and goings-on to have a shower quickie with one of the hunky deserters. The other female also tries to take a shower, but she forgot her death was scheduled at the same time, and prior commitments should be honored.

The monster lives in a room only accessed through ventilation shafts that lead to a desk where the compound's only computer rests. Everyone stares at the computer, then crawls under the desk to find some answers. The film is less than eighty minutes long, and is padded with cast members crawling around the ventilations shafts with flashlights...and crawling...and finding some goo...and crawling...and crawling some more. Watch for the end credits, perhaps the slowest credits scroll ever committed to celluloid.

So, what is a "creepozoid," anyway? I do not know, no one in the film ever says that word. This "Creepozoid," on the other hand, is a cheap gory mess that seems to have been written around Quigley's two nude scenes. Do not bother exerting any effort to see this, the film makers sure did not exert any effort to make this.

This is rated (R) for strong physical violence, gun violence, strong gore, profanity, female nudity, brief male nudity, some sexual content, and adult situations.

I saw this movie and it was nothing special, neat cheesy effects though, but the story didn't really go anywhere. Linnea Quigley looked good though and it didn't show just her nudity. They gave this movie a quick theatrical release before going on to video. They also tried to make a sequel to this trashy movie, but was never released. It probably would've gone straight to video if it did.

I bought this set thinking that at least one of the four movies would be worth watching, if only as a goof. Some of these movies suffer from poor color transfers, all suffer from from lousy scripts and editing that seems to stretch every scene to its maximum length-- grueling.

An awful European remake of the classic "Fantastic Voyage". The story has been modernized to a terrorist with a nuclear bomb detonator implanted in his head instead of a cold war era scientist with top-secret information, but otherwise the story is the same. The acting by Lance Henriksen and Robin Givens is good, the rest of the cast just don't come across as believable. The special effects are reasonably good CGI. Although the giant skin mite swimming through the bloodstream is just a bit too far out there for me.
My suggestion is to rent Antibody and Fantastic Voyage and do a double feature.

How many palm trees are there in england? There are a ton in this movie! The acting is terrible! Ivanhoe, the main character is always frowning, like he is emotionally disturbed. The sword fights are absolutely fake, and while he is fighting, Ivanhoe has no blood on his sword. The special effects are a joke. The only fun we had was making fun of it. I love medieval movies and books, and I tried to cling to the fact that it would get better, but halfway through, I asked my dad if this was a comedy.

I'll break it down for you real easy like.

This is a terrible movie that I thankfully rented. I give this zero stars because of that. The acting is terrible, the directing is terrible and the filming looks to be done by a hand held from the 80's.

For all of you that love trashy flicks this will make the tops on your list easily.

Why they would ever rerelease these two dvds together is beyond me. Both films were just awful; good ideas gone bad. The End of Days disk is nice an full of extras but i was so put off by the film that the idea of seeing these extras was not very appealing. As for Virus its just another comic book movie gone bad with a bad cast and bad writting. Ive met the director of Virus and the producer at a comic book convention and when they were saposed to be promoting their film they seemed bored and not very interested almost as if they knew they had made a stinker. The only plus side to boothe films were their visual effects. Unless you are some how die hard fans of both i say avoid this collection its not worth the price and just shows they have a large number of these discs just laying around.

Just so you know, this is a movie that was featured on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 because it is such a gem!

When comparing this DVD to the previous one before this of the "Rocky Jones,Space Ranger" series,this copy pales in comparison to the "Crash Of Moons" copy which is a mint and a beautiful copy.This copy however has everything wrong with it.First of all,whenever a video or in this case, a DVD starts shaking throughout the movie you know that this is a bad sign of things to come right off the bat. Plus,seeing hair in the copy also makes me wonder where Alpha Video even got their copy of this.

Even my own video copy is so far more superior to this DVD copy.This is a pathetic copy,I give it a 1 star,and not because I don't like the episode,because I do,but because of the very bad and inexcusable of a copy this is.There should have been no reason why this copy didn't look as good as the equal to the "Crash Of Moons" copy.If I was able to I would have given this no stars.

Somebody like Rhino Video needs to really go into their vaults and get ahold of the "Rocky Jones" library and release all 39 of the episodes onto DVD.It is hit and miss all of the time with Alpha Video.And I have yet to see a poor copy of anything put out by Rhino.I am a huge fan of this series and I also happen to be a huge fan of Scotty Beckett's (Former Little Rascals,etc) and I am a collector of this series as well as a collector of Beckett,so that would tell anybody why I needed to have a copy of this.

When you have a video copy that is far more superior to a DVD copy that pretty much tells you to stay clear, and far far away from the DVD copy,and in this case I do reccomend this highly to anyone who is a fan of this series.What was Alpha thinking when they put out a poor excuse of a DVD copy?
