I'm really surprised!

When I first read the description, I thought the movie would mainly consist of a large flame creature burning a city while a bunch of firemen and FBI guys frantically tried to come up with different ways to stop it. It didn't sound like the grestest movie idea I'd heard but I was buying a few other creature feature flicks and thought I may as well order something more unusual.

Thankfully, this movie is much better than I expected. The plot had a lot more going on than just having a creature killing a bunch of people. The central characters were a lot deeper than I expected. It had decent atmosphere when it was needed.

On another note, this is the work of William Shatner I've ever seen. I can see why peopel respect him.

Finally, cover art of the title picture is kind of inaccurate. the creature is a lot more visually impressive, but the creature in the movie would have been pretty hard to illustrate. February 25, 2008

Worth 3 stars..........

This movie plays like a episode of outer limits or the twilight zone.
I even think William Shatner had some direction in this film.
Anyway, the film is interesting, the acting is pretty good in most cases,
and the film will keep you interested to the end.
The movie could have earned a 3.5 stars if they would have worked on the
creature's sound effects more. The creature sounds like a monster from
a 1970 cartoon. Not scary and could have been improved a lot to give
you a bit of the chills when hearing it through your 5.1 system...

Needs Improvements

This movie isn't bad but isn't good either. I kind of liked it, but it could use some improvments such as better stories, weapons and equipments, computer graphic for the creatures just to name a few. November 2, 2007

Better Than I Expected

From the bad cover art and the story description I was not expecting a whole lot from this film but the reality was better than the packaging.

Two firefighters have their paths cross after an accident at a forest fire site. The older firefighter is a fugitive and been declared nuts. He has ideas about living fire that can think and plan. The younger firefighter doesn't believe a word of it. Then the government gets involved as they have been following the older firefighter for years. Reasonable characters, hidden agendas, and religious zeal abound in this tale.

This story is mor complex than the packaging suggests. Occasionally a solar flare will through off a fire creature and sometimes they land on Earth. This has been going on for a long time. This film is about tracking the creatures while keeping their existence secret from the public and other Government entities. All in all the story was quite enjoyable with a decent cast supporting it. If you like monsters and conspiracy theories you might get a kick out of this one. Check it out. September 8, 2007
