VHS Movie Reviews of Judgement Day
Movie Review: What this movie is missing is Ice-T and Coolio in space......
Summary: 1 Stars
Ice-T (Mean Guns, New Jack City) is released from being a convict by female cop Suzy Amis (Firestorm) because religious gospel talking Mario Van Peebles (Baadasssss!, The Hebrew Hammer) has in his capture a scientist, played by Linden Ashby (Mortal Kombat) who can stop a astroied from wiping the planet out. All that's missing is Ice-T and Coolio in space, that would be cool. Seeing them in space, trying to stop the astroid...that would be cool. No, nothing of the sort in this thriller which just doesnt thrill, it gives off bad acting and kills Coolio (Batman & Robin) off in his cameo. Suzy Amis doesnt even look like's she trying, Ice-T is himself and Peebles doesnt even give off enough juice in his role though he has some moments. Also starring Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr (The Fifth Element, Friday movies). Suffers from being just too boring.Movie Review: bETTER THAN ARMAGEDDON INDEED...
Summary: 4 Stars
Ice-t has done a whole lot of crappy movies but he's a cool dude so whenever he's in a movie the movie gets watchable even if it's a crappy one...
This one is a b-action movie like ice-T has done a whole lot of but this is probably one of the better ones... last ones I saw was POINT DOOM and AIR RAGE and they are ten times worse than this...
About the movie alot of good actors like tiny Lister Jr, Mario van peebles and a not so good actor: don't know her name but its the female cop who has the lead...
I'm not saying this is the best movie ever but it's enjoyable...
Movie Review: SHOOTING STARS
Summary: 4 Stars
Okay, so the back of the DVD box is really misleading, since they show several asteroids hitting NYC, which is erroneous because the asteroid is one big chunk and decimates the San Francisco area. But since packaging isn't worth docking a movie, I'll focus on the film itself. JUDGMENT DAY while not big budgeted like similar DEEP IMPACT or ARMAGEDDON is nonetheless entertaining on its level. Rather than focusing on pyrotechnics involved in destroying the asteroid, we get to focus on FBI agent Suzy Amis (once married to the King of the World James Cameron) and convict Ice T (in one of his more tolerable characterizations) trying to find the one man who can stop the asteroid from obliterating manking (Linden Ashby). But enter religious fanatic Thomas Payne (played rather controlled by Mario van Peebles), who believes the asteroid is God's judgment so he kidnaps the scientist to prevent him from destroying the asteroid. It seems rather odd that there would be only one man capable of affecting such a global catastrophe, but it's Hollywood, man, so anything goes. Director (former actor John Terlesky of Deathstalker II) keeps the pace tight and delivers what you probably would expect from this straight to video release. Movie Review: THIS IS A MUST SEE MOVIE
Summary: 4 Stars
A TOUGH FEMALE COP [SUZY AMIS] FREES A CONVICT [ICE-T] SO THAT HE CAN HELP HER TAKE DOWN A RELIGIOUS CULT [LEAD BY MARIO VAN PEEBLES] THAT HAVE KIDNAPPED A SCIENTIST [LINDEN ASHBY] THAT MAY BE THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN PREVENT A ASTEROID FROM HITTING THE EARTH. VERY GOOD ACTION MOVIE. IT SORTA COMBINES ELEMENTS OF ''48 HRS.'' AND ''ARMAGEDDON''. THIS IS WORTH BUYING. GO FIND A COPY OF THIS MOVIE AND BUY IT NOW!Movie Review: You will probably not find this review helpful
Summary: 2 Stars
Ok, so call me shallow, but I guess I tried to watch this movie a couple years ago, and I found it again the other day on my DVD shelf. I could not figure out how it got there or why I didn't remember much of it. Well, I figured it out pretty quickly. The female lead looks like she forgot to take off ghoul makeup and put on wrinkle cream or any other makeup. I mean seriously she looks so weathered that it pretty much ruins the movie, which otherwise is generally entertaining. I would have preferred looking at a fat lady for 90 minutes to looking at the lines all over her face.
Summary of Judgement Day
An enormous asteroid is heading towards Earth and threatens to wipe out all life on the planet! Sound familiar? Since the Cold War nuclear-threat movies played out sometime in the early Nineties, there was a spate of films that found the Earth threatened by H.R. Giger-style aliens or giant rocks from outer space. With a movie like Judgment Day, comparisons to Independence Day and Deep Impact are inevitable. Actually, this direct-to-video release is the more enjoyable, without the insultingly simplistic plot of the former or the heavy-handed chin-rubbing portent of the latter. A boulder crashes into a Peruvian village, obliterating it; it's a mere pebble compared to the whopper that will crash earthward in a couple of days. The military brass opts for a Star Wars-style weapon to destroy it, but the only man who can help make the thing work has been kidnapped by a cult led by religious head-case Mario Van Peebles. Enter the FBI and convict Ice-T, imprisoned for taking revenge on Van Peebles to settle a personal score. The film veers towards being a political thriller, a 'hood movie (with a Coolio cameo), an action film, a buddy movie and old-fashioned sci-fi along the way, but the sum total is a pretty entertaining B-movie that never quite takes itself too seriously. Fans of TV's Barney Miller should enjoy seeing Max Gail getting a migraine as the head of Air Defense Command, Van Peebles is great as the charismatic religious screwball and Ice-T is.well, Ice-T. --Jerry RenshawDisaster Films Video
