I hate when actresses put on a fake accent and hate it even more when they fake accents badly. The sound editor should be blacklisted for the terrible job that was done.Apart from bad acting, bad sound, blondes with overfilled botox lips, it still sucked lemons. Even for a made-for-TV movie, it was quite horribly made.Watch it just to see how badly made movies can be.
... View MoreI don't know why i didn't turn this awful movie off. It was like watching a shriner car wreck, i just couldn't look away but I got a good laugh at least.The acting was forced and very poor. Marina Sirtis used to be a half way decent actress but that hokey fake accent and halting... way... of...saying.... terrorist every three seconds was irritating. Not to mention the fact that one second she has a down south drawl, then a Texas drawl, then a Kansas farm girl thing.My 5 year old writes better stories with crayons, ie: the two lab assistant porn stars "oh my god he's been like shot, oh no, now i've been totally like shot too, i don't feel well" Another person said the girl that played nya was like the UK Meghan fox, well the original was annoying enough and we don't want her, now we get stuck with a British version that sucks worse... KEEP HER, and if you ever see this movie for sale, buy it and use it for skeet shooting to save some other poor sap from wasting two hours of they're life to.

She goes from a steady job at Star Trek: The Next Generation, to being the go-to actress for playing women of a certain age from the Middle East (she even got a turn in the Oscar-winner Crash), and now she's reduced to this. I guess the recession has caused Trek convention speaking fees to dry up, or something.Anyway, in Annihilation Earth, another entry into Sci-Fi's Bulgarian cinema oeuvre, she plays a vaguely official woman with an atrocious Southern accent who oversees a magical Large Hadron Collider-based futuristic power source. Part of which proceeds to explode, nuking a quarter of France. So she rides the head scientist, played by Luke Goss, to figure out what went wrong and fix it.That's honestly about all the plot that makes sense, because stuck in the Sci-Fi plot blender is some stuff about a fellow scientist being a suspected terrorist sympathizer, a bunch of catastrophic things happening, like earthquakes, electromagnetic pulses, and satellites being pulled out of the sky, and, of course, a bunch of explosions. Either way, it ends with the world exploding, because Sirtis gives the wrong order. It's a tragic ending, especially because this film didn't get taken with it.
... View MoreFrom the start, it was unbearable to watch Marina Sirtis try a southern accent. She was never a great actress, her only claim to fame being the annoying Betazoid on STNG. And her acting was painful there. I seem to remember her in another SciFi disaster flick and her acting there was only marginally better. I thought she'd ruin this movie. But she didn't, she only made the torture more unbearable. To this they added two panting, sweating, whiny-voiced porn stars in unnecessary roles. What in theory should have been a good plot line was ruined by crummy dialog, trite and tiresome clichés, and horrendous acting. This was a disastrous movie, even by SyFy "original" standards.
