A bad movie

I had some rather low expectations about this flick but since Michael Caine and Henry Fonda were starring, I thought I should give it a try anyway. Eventually, it was even worse than I thought… Basically, it was probably the worst disaster flick I have ever seen (or maybe ‘When Time Ran Out...’ was even worse, I’m not sure…). Anyway, for more than 2 hours, you get some pathetic special effects, some laughable dialogues, some poorly sketched subplots and some completely uninteresting characters. The most annoying thing about these movies is that there was no scientific background whatsoever and it made the whole thing look even more ridiculous. I mean, you get such great actors like Fonda or Caine giving their dialogues in all seriousness whereas most of what they are telling you was just total horsesh*t. It would work much better if there was anything possible in what was happening and in what they said. Of course, what should you expect from a movie about killer bees ? Not much, of course, but it didn’t have to be that bad and it was a huge flop when it was released. Unsurprisingly, Irwin Allen (nicknamed ‘the Master of Disaster’) has directed this piece of turd and I discovered afterwards that he was also responsible for the awful ‘When Time Ran Out...’. It figures. Anyway, to conclude, this flick was a huge waste of time, I didn’t like it at all and it is definitely not worth a look, even if you like the genre.
