The best thing about this movie is that my date thanked me for being a gentleman for walking out on the film. I feel lucky.

Rating: 1/10 (11 March 2006)

Don't get me wrong, my date and I are very strong fans of horror and science fiction. But nothing in the trailers prepared us for this cow pie. Remember movies like Alien and Seven--or The Ring and 28 Days Later? Don't look for this here. Obviously this is an "opt ed" piece directed by one angry Frenchman that hates Americans and our history of atomic testing. The film starts off great with the scenes presented during the film credits. But from there it's rising expectations met with frustration. Anyone can re-direct a rape scene or gory murder scene, but you should not come away from it feeling like you just missed out on making it back to the ticket counter in time for your refund. I must credit the director with one thing -- he remembers P. T. Barnum's law on capitalism: there's a sucker born every minute. It took me 50 minutes into the film to realize what a sucker I am. One other thing - the movie is rated R. That's not a strong enough rating for the idiot parent that takes their five year old to see a movie like this. But again, there's a sucker born every minute and even a five year old had to pay to see this.
