I bought this movie in VHS for 25 cents in Canadian money... and it wasn't even worth it! Tycus is alike every catastrophic movie that you can watch for free on TV during a week day afternoon. I know that a VHS movie doesn't stop every 15 minutes because of ads but I it's not really an advantage. You see, at least ads would have kept me awake! Anyway... it just wasn't a good movie. And I didn't even mention the lesson they are trying to teach us... NOBODY HAS THE RIGHT TO DECIDE WHO'S GOING TO LIVE AND WHO'S GOING TO DIE! That is not a spoiler, you'll ear that from the beginning to the end of the film... if you still want to see it. :P
Peter Crawford discovers a comet on a collision course with the moon. But when the government doesn't believe him (dumb fact #1). He builds a shelter in deep underground and is drawing lots to see who will go. Plus is willing to kill to save humanity (dumb fact #2). With millions of dollars of technology, how could a civilian see what NASA could not? Plus, the ends justifies the means moral of this story is just plain WRONG!!! This movie is improbable and totally unbelievable. What was running through these people minds, why the hell do crap piles like this get the green light? Some times I wonder who someone has to **** to get a movie made in this ****ing town.
Tycus is one of the worst films direct to video films that I see ever.I am not amazing that this product does not appearing at the cinema.Bad Visual effects (The start is dreadful)Bad actors (I don´t understand Why appear in this film the great Dennis Hopper)and Bad screen Without sense.My alternative:Armaggedon or Twister. SENTENCE FOR TYCUS:Do not watch this film.
Unimpressive and extremely low budget sci-fi without any charm and appeal. Even the scenes related with the fall of the asteroids are stolen from other movies with the same plot. It's just a bad rip-off of "Asteroid" (with Annabela Sciora) and "Deep Impact" (with Morgan Freeman). Mr. Hopper seems to be anxious to slip away from this pointless and dull sci-fi entry.I give this a 2 (two). And don't say I'm not a good guy!
