the script seem to have be wholesale ( ahem ahem and cough cough ) borrow from a certain other movie involve use a self propel manned drilling machine . scene by scene and the two movie be almost identical . just enough of the serial number file off in this one to prevent a copyright infringement lawsuit . but other than that and i have to say i find this somewhat entertaining a i enjoy deep underground in the earth genre of movie . it a little bit on the stupid side as far a the science go and but if one be willing to squint one eye real hard and pretend one do not notice that scientific gaffe here and there and all over and this movie be almost bearable . far good than supernova which be another flick that luke perry have a leading role in that be so dumb and dumb and dumb that nothing could save it . a note to movie maker represent employ someone who know something about the subject the movie deal with . it would be a very small part of the movie budget and but it would have a big effect overall in help prevent your audience from guffaw at you for do dumb science . production value represent almost passable . i have see far worse in my time . a new thought for disaster movie represent instead of them always have a happy end where the world get save yet once again and how about some where thing be a tad bit more realistic and where sometimes even the very best effort still end up in failure . particularly when the problem that need to be resolve be cause in the first place by sheer stupidity . stupidity cause disaster movie with glowing and heartwarming ending sort of backhandedly justify stupidity by state and no matter how awful a problem be cause by braindead stupidity and it can be fix . which be definitely not the case . a self cause disaster movie with an unhappy end would serve good a cautionary tale of don not be so damn stupid in the first place . should you watch this movie . if youre bore and you have see everything else in the scifi section at your local video rental store and sure and why not . but do avoid supernova a i can assure you that youre not that bore . that definitely be not one of luke perry good movie . this one be well . that not say much and but it be well . one dead hoof up for be a deep underground genre movie . one dead hoof down for naughtily rip off from the screenplay of another certain movie of the same genre .
