Reviews

vanilabean4 Louis Gossett Jr. is always watchable. I wasn't expecting this film to be as good and as entertaining as it turned out. I'm not saying it was brilliant, but I didn't feel like I wasted an afternoon. Mostly, I felt Gossett needs to be in better films that are up to his talents. But it was a good effort, none the less. I haven't watched it in a while, but I'm willing to see it again. I did feel the so-called "comedy" was a bit over-arched. And I like humor breaking up some dramatic moments. Done well, (like the way David Lynch does it) is nothing short of genius. But in this film it just seemed a bit silly and made to take up time. And not as character driven as it really should be.

guest150669 Nice idea. A secret silo has a computer failure at the change of the year (y2k, get the title?). A skilled team is coerced to go in and fix it, but their efforts are fatigued by drug lords and internal US armed forces strife. Unfortunately the characters are hollow and the idea is poorly executed. Remove the y2k theme and the glib characters, and there might be a solid movie here. Definitely worthy of a remake! If you watch it, don't sweat the details (which aren't terrible, just bad) and try to enjoy the underlying concept. While the current version is a 'MacGyver' movie (at best), a remake could be on par with 'Force 10 from Navarone.' If you like tension, a good plot, well developed characters, and nice plot twists... wait for the remake.

Nigel-26 Why they called this movie Y2K is beyond me! What starts out as promising loses a lot as the movie winds on. The plot and the acting is slightly second rate and I found that by the end the countdown did not engage the viewer. Tying the plot to a Columbian drug lord at the end was just too much. Passable.

GFoster Y2K has squandered a perfect opportunity to make a good, tense action movie. When a powerful missile activates itself on a countdown for the millenium, the usual rag-tag team are sent to de-activate it. The trailer for this movie looked good, but in the actual film there is hardly any action or violence as expected and the story plods along without creating anything interesting in the dull boring characters. Overall the film is poor and boring. 3/10.
