A mysterious illness has broken out, sending its victims into the hospitals convulsing and vomiting and generally looking really gross. The disease displays symptoms that lead super-doctor Tess Martin (Anne Heche) to begin thinking that the Bubonic Plague has erupted. But when a guy named Jack (James Tupper), who just so happens to Speak Truth to Power, gets on the scene, he clues Tess in a frightening conspiracy. Toxic Skies is one of those straight-to-video movies. For being a low budget film shot in Canada, this movie has great cinematography and editing. The movie had more potential if only the writing had been better. The script was too inaccurate and unrealistic. Too much effort was put into the message, and not enough into the quality of the film. The movie is slow.Toxic Skies cobbles a few elements from the movie "Outbreak", particularly why it becomes personally important for Tess to quickly discover a cure. The movie isn't as suspenseful as it could have been. The film touches on an important motivation of Tess' physician work, yet never returns to it. There just seemed like great potential for backstories, or learning more about the two main doctors in general.Anne Heche gives a solid performance as Dr. Tess Martin, but the rest of the cast is lacking of talent.Not great, but watchable....
... View MoreA deadly virus has struck Spokane, Washington, and "Dr. Tess Martin" (Anne Heche) is trying to find a cure. But before she can do that she needs to isolate the virus and figure out why all known antibiotics don't even slow it down. Meanwhile, a person named "Jack" (James Tupper) is trying to convince her that there is a conspiracy going on and wants her to expose the people responsible. In the meantime, patients are beginning to die and it appears that the Mayor, the Army and a CEO of a leading drug pharmaceutical are all behind the spread of the disease. At any rate, rather than reveal the rest of the story, I will just say that this is a nice little conspiracy film which should keep most viewers interested from start to finish. Anne Heche is quite cute and gives a good performance as the doctor who is both competent and caring. Likewise, James Tupper does quite well as the conspiracy fanatic who just won't give up. And although the story is a little far-fetched at times, I still enjoyed it and think that most fans of this genre will appreciate it too.
... View MoreI found the premise of this movie fascinating. "Chemtrails" are certainly an interesting phenomena! The white trails behind many planes these days seem to linger for many hours and unlike water vapors (contrails) they do not decapitate.It makes me think why there is so much resistance to a non-biased investigation on chemtrails and what they contain.It is also interesting how the mere interest/questioning of this phenomena is responded to with hostile name calling and ridicule.Many scientists disagree with the government/NASA attempt to explain Chemtrails. This movie provides a plausible theory on the "Aerosol operation" or "chemtrails".
... View MoreOkay movie about how chemtrails, the vapor trails left by planes, are spreading a deadly virus which makes almost everyone in Spokane sick. Anne Hesche plays a doctor who tries to sort out what is behind the disease and find out a way to stop it from killing everyone.Yet another government is bad movie is an okay thriller. The cast is fine, but its not really given much to do beyond the cliché. Its best not to really think about much of what happens since it doesn't completely make sense. Things are not helped by the feeling that this wasn't really made with any sort of passion, and while its competent its never compelling. I'd wait for cable.
