Movie Reviews of Swarmed
Movie Review: A solid TV movie
Summary: 4 Stars
This is yet another fine made for tv movie. Ok the genre is certainly not new but it also never gets old either.
A couple of genecticall engineered wasps escape from a research lab and threaten the well being of an entire town which just happens to have a major event just around the corner. As bodies pill up Two scientist and a professional bug man must stop this deadly swarm before things get worse.
Throw in the greedy police chief and an ambitious and also greedy mayor and you have a very good film .
I recommend this.
Movie Review: Enjoyable
Summary: 4 Stars
I watched the show specifically because I am a Stargate fan. I like the Daniel(played by Michael Shanks) character, but this isn't Daniel. He's a stupid man who lets a scourge out onto the world. The special affects are creepy, especially the mayor's eyes. Tim Thomerson as the meat magnet is as pomous as you can get, yet he jumps into some water. Of course, the bees chase him down.
This is a fun movie and that is why I gave it a 4. It's not super movie like "The Godfather", or "Gone With the Wind", it's just fun.
Movie Review: Typical Syfy - You should already know what you're getting into
Summary: 3 Stars
Since Swarmed and Locusts are essentially the same movie, I wrote the same review and just changed the pertinent words. Enjoy...
Entomologist CRISTINA BROWN (Carol Alt) works with a task force - including a gritty EXTERMINATOR named Q (Richard Chevolleau) - to eradicate GENETICALLY ALTERED WASPS threatening a SMALL TOWN. These WASPS are special because they ARE STRENGTHENED BY pesticides and are attracted to HAMBURGER MEAT and STEAK.
Along the way a gorgeous brunette REPORTER gets insecticized, a DUNKING BOOTH becomes a ridiculous location to hide, an idiot SECRETARY goes after WASPS with a SHOTGUN, a WASP gets into a MAN'S mouth, peoples' EYEBALLS get eaten, and most of the swarm is killed by an impromptu FLAMETHROWER.
Sadly, TIM THOMERSON and MICHAEL SHANKS pull one of the plugs from a career that is already on life support, but remain the more competent actors in the film.
It's a Syfy movie, so the production is predictably decent and the special effects are borderline atrocious; mostly it's just a bunch of YELLOW CGI dots on the screen. CAROL ALT looks sexy but not as good as when she was a SWIMSUIT MODEL. Ultimately, however, she's unbelievable as someone who would go into work as a bug expert. It's a good way to pass the time, but awards it will not win.

Movie Review: BIZZY BEEZ
Summary: 3 Stars
Bees have never looked as vicious as they do in this made for SCIFI CHANNEL movie. Although the plot is derivative and the acting fairly mundane, SWARMED is a creepy tale of genetically charged bees with killer venom and stings. Michael Shanks from STARGATE 1 looks bored in his role as the scientist responsible for the mutations and former model Carol Alt tries hard to look ditzy, but only manages to look stupid..sorry, Carol. There are some creepy bee attacks, a Will Smith wannabe and the always watchable Tim Thomerson as the king of the Barbecue Sauce.
It's pretty farfetched and has an ending that defies logic, but it's fun anyway.
Movie Review: Good little movie
Summary: 3 Stars
If you like these types of movies, you will not regret this one.
Its really pretty good, has a story and characters that you
will love/hate. The effects are decent and if you ever saw a swarm
fly buy, it will bring back some memories when you see the swarms
flying in the movie which makes the movie even better.
The only problem is with the lame ending...but heck you cant
win them all. Give it a shot....
