I have real issues with movies where they insist on making the characters as dumb as fence posts. This is one of them. If you are being monitored by the evil government then don't call your best friend on the phone to tell him where the secret meeting he doesn't have any interest in is being held. If you are about to die just tell all, there are no consequences to spilling it all now. If you must steal a car don't do it in front of the bad guys, or at least change cars.Then there's the pointless religion, what the heck has belief in mythical beings got to do with this story. They didn't wrap up the loose ends either. Not that we are interested in finding out what became of the minor characters. Just glad it's over.This was small part mystery, small part new age clap trap, large part padding.And why do I have to stretch this out to 10 lines when some other reviews are one liners.

I accidentally found this movie on cable while surfing. It grabbed my attention immediately. A writer's wife and daughter are killed in a tragic airplane crash. The movie grinds us through a never-ending sequence of plot twists, uncertainly, and violence. The writer senses a conspiracy, and the bad guys want to make sure he doesn't get to the bottom of the truth. John McGinley is great as the sadistic head bad guy. I was never sure where the bad guys were from. Beautiful scenery from Canada.I was not satisfied with the ending, which left a few questions, but maybe there will be a sequel.Robert Morrisette

Caught this on the UK Sci-Fi channel over two nights and I really enjoyed it. Billy Zane is excellent and playing a more mature and vulnerable character than usual, a very convincing family man. The little girl '21-21' really reminded me of my own daughter so I had a lump in my throat at the end (if you aren't a 'daddy' you won't understand!). The Yates character was certainly over-the-top, but still (just) believable, as he got more and more frustrated in the chase and let's face it, he got all the best lines. I love science-fantasy material rather than horror, and although I haven't read the book, I will be keeping an eye out for it. A first-rate TV mini-series.

I have always enjoyed Dean Koontz's miniseries and this is no exception. I saw this with an open mind, and it captured my imagination brilliantly. Everyone was well cast and the filming was very precise. The writing was also excellent and was without flaw. I would recommend this film to anyone who enjoys fantasy. Although the miniseries has already aired, you can catch it on video whenever it comes out. This is an exceptional miniseries.
