| User ReviewAlan CThis show has all the tropes: middle eastern terrorists, evil government goons, bumbling computer nerds, angsty teenager, and brilliant but disconnected scientists. Add in late-night-TV-advertising quality special effects and plot holes you can drive a truck through. The premise starts bad and goes steadily down hill. Why don't the people who presumably built the weapon not know how to arm it? Why do the "special forces" totally bungle an ambush? Why is there any mystery about where the weapon is? How do you run away from an earthquake/volcano/tornado on foot and get away? How did this show ever get made? |
