Last night, I spent relaxing (and finishing some physics
homework) and had no motivation to hit the blog. By now, everyone has probably
heard about the passing of Sci-Fi icon Leonard Nimoy. For me, he not only
etched his way into my mind as Spock, it was his work on In Search Of that
sparked my interest into the unexplained. He will definitely be missed.
#LLAP - Now to the blog, next up is the
2014 made for television disaster flick Zodiac: Signs of the Apocalypse.
Plot/ When a mysterious planet crosses the sun global
catastrophes are unleashed. A rogue scientist is the key to deciphering the
symbols and humanity's only chance at survival.
Yes, I knew exactly what I was in for when I started
watching this one: a predictable, CGI filled, made for television disaster
flick, and that is exactly what I got. I did find the subject matter
interesting; the theory of Nibiru or Planet X causing major disasters has been
growing for decades. Ironically, it is popping up more and more into pop
culture, even making its way into the last Star Trek movie. Unfortunately, the
characters were flat, the CGI sloppy, and the scripting and performances were
uneven at best. In the end, while this one offers nothing really new and is rather unbelievable (a car outrunning a tsunami), it is a
mindless trip toward the apocalypse and perfect for background fodder when working on something.
