À propos de ce film

When massive volcanic storms begin to spew from the Earth, geophysicist Kate Ferris tries to convince the Department of Defense that this is no natural phenomenon. They’re the result of a seismic super weapon and the shockwaves it sends out will destroy major cities across the globe, killing millions. When her claims fall on deaf ears Kate must find a way to counteract the destruction and figure out how to stop the shockwave before its effects seal humanity’s fate once and for all.

Notes et avis

The actual "Countdown to Disaster" was from the moment this movie was first conceptualized to it's release. With CGI equal to that of a Playstation 1 level cutscene, acting so bad you think everyone in the movie is related to the director, and writing/dialogue so generic that the value brand at your local supermarket is more rare of a find. I had to stop watching not even halfway through. I rented this on sale, and I love disaster movies, but I just couldn't stand to watch this one over halfway.

To be fair and give full disclosure, I have a nice, but small, role in this movie as a Talking Head - that said, in as unbiased a manner as I can - this is truly a rollicking cool disaster flick. There are some top-notch performances by a very talented cast (lol, myself included), and given the budget some pretty fantastic effects and great overall dramatic action. If you like disaster films, I think you will love Shocckwave: Countdown to Disaster!
