Good But Inconsistent, May 18, 2006
This review is from: Epoch: Evolution (DVD)
A new torus, a giant stone tornado-shaped thing that floats in the air, has surfaced. Oddly, the witnesses don't seem very surprised or awed (probably just bad acting). With the new torus we see a return of some of the characters from the first film including David Keith. He is on the run from a shadowy organization bent on killing him and his son. We get a little history as to what has gone on since the first movie.
As the research begins on the new torus a third one shows up. Now there are two floating about and they are putting out mysterious and opposed waves. It seems like a battle between good and evil but who can tell with ancient floating alien rock things? In the end the movie is much like the first as an ancient mystery is unraveled and we get glimpses of the purpose of the toruses.
Decent special effects and a good cast are the pluses in this film. Some of the torus history does not mesh with what was learned in the first movie and there is even evidence that humans knew about the toruses fairly recently (last couple of thousand years) even though in the first movie the torus had been buried since before the creation of life. While I prefer the first movie this one is a decent sequel and not just a cheap follow-up.

Decent sequel, March 20, 2006
This review is from: Epoch: Evolution (DVD)
This movie sequel has some drawbacks. The special effects were not as good as last time (specifically the inside and outside of the alien's "house") and it was less exciting as well. These differences were not too big either. On the other hand, the general cast's performance was good and the movie tries to show us the violence provoked by fear to the unknown. There has been recently a lot of attention (led by Michael Crichton) about the bad affects of fear, this movie is one of the first in this anti-fear-mongering wave.

war of the worlds with less gore, May 12, 2007
This review is from: Epoch: Evolution (DVD)
This is movie dvd celebrates is 29 month anniversary since it was first released in december of 2004. This movie takes place ten years after the events in the first movie. As the movie starts the main character Dr. Rand wife had been murdered by the evil Gensis and now they are after him and his ten year old alien son. If that were bad enough there is a international conflict between Russia and China. Can doctor randy stop the devestating power of alien life form again but not from one but from two of these giant spiral shaped mountains with and alien ship underneath them. Can he solve the mystery to save the world will foiling the evil Gensis plans to kill him and his son. Find out in the spinetingling conclusion. This movie should be suitable for kids 17 and up due to heavy vioilence, mild gory, occaisional thematic elements, and frequent profanity. If you like this see the prequel epoch. If you by this you might as well get a new copy since the selling price is low under $20 with the shipping fee include because it is somewhat of and old dvd and is not a very high demand for copies of it.
