Review of MegaFault

I rented it on Blu Ray, and it is a poor looking Blu Ray. I gave it a 1 and I didn't know that it was made for T.V. but then I suspected that it was when I saw how poor the special effects were. They did not even shake the camera manually (a technique that should hardly ever be used) but it was a type of fake digital camera shake. I agree with jmgalvan in that I would almost recommend it to watch in a Gilmore Girls kind of a way: Sit there and ridicule it. In that respect I found it entertaining, and I laughed a lot. The trouble is, it's an action-drama, and you are supposed to have the myriad of emotions that come with that genre. I love film, and I would much prefer to see a GOOD disaster movie.

It is beyond me how Britney, (8 Mile) who I think is a fine actress, with 6 films coming out, and the incredible Bruce Davison, (Short Cuts) with four films coming would ever say yes to this. They should fire their agents. Eric LaSalle, (E.R.) is another fine actor, but he hasn't done all that much since he left E.R. which is a shame, and it might explain why he took this role. I thought the acting was good, but with a good script and director, all three of them would have really knocked the walls down which is what I expected, and it was the reason that I rented it.

The special effects are the worst that I have seen since Buck Rogers, but......back then they had an excuse! LOL
