   David E. Milligan to All   
   Monster Ark - a short short critique   
   10 Aug 08 06:25:34   
   
   From: davideml@bellsouth.net   
      
       Renee didn't appear until the story was set up, about fifteen minutes into   
   the movie. And she   
   looked absolutely great! She had the S1 Gabrielle red hair. And even though   
   she's 13 years older   
   now (24 when XWP first aired, and 37 now) she still breaks my heart (sighs).    
   Like most TV movies,   
   the dialog left something to be desired, but Renee shined in her part. And   
   even though we never got   
   to see her fab abs, some of her clothes were tight fitting enough that it's   
   obvious she keeps   
   herself in shape!   
       Also in the movie was  "Tiny" Lister, who usually plays some kind of   
   psycho bad guy. And he   
   unintentionally added some humor as he gleefully shot the monster over and   
   over with a pistol, a   
   machine gun and an RPG - with little effect, but he kept coming just like he   
   knew he was going to   
   get in that one lucky shot if he just kept shooting.   
       There was the eye candy going by the name of  Joanna. She was  very   
   pretty, and not   
   particularly phony looking. She didn't do such a bad job in her role.   
       There was the sort of fat, funny looking guy who played the comic relief -   
   until he got shot.   
       Have no idea who the guy was who played Ava's (Renee's) ex husband, but he   
   got to lay on top of   
   her (sort of), kissed her twice, and got a nice hug from her -- so I hate him.   
           The monster was almost fierce looking, but if it was going to destroy   
   the world, it needed   
   to step up the pace. It took a pretty long  time to kill people - slashing and   
   slashing and   
   slashing before moving on to the next one.   
           The story idea was clever but some of the dialog could have been   
   better.   
           The movie I would rate a 6 out of 10.   
           Renee gets a 9 out of 10 only because she wasn't in every scene.   
                   ALSO  there are video clips of the movie posted on the Genesis   
   Code site already --   
   http://genesiscode.reneeoconnor.info/videoclips.htm   
           I haven't had a chance to check them out, but I will.
