Everyone associated with this hideous cinematic effort should hang their heads in shame. It is a total shambles, a disgraceful excuse for a movie which FAILS in every category, on every level, from all viewpoints. The acting is lame, embarrassing, ultra-amateurish. Not that much could be done with the wishy-washy, half-cocked script, anyway. The story development (ha ha ha, what a joke) is non-existent, the character development excruciatingly laughable. Cinematography below par. Perhaps this is a useful flick inasmuch as it serves as a lesson on how NOT to make a meaningful, successful, entertaining film. That is the most positive thing I can say for this waste-of-time. Yes, it scrapes the barrel. It is horrible. Skip it.
Forgettable pilot that never really explains why Nostradamus is really important to the plot of this movie, but Rob Estes plays a a hunky cop who happens to be Nostradamus for some reason and who battles time-travelling Medieval monks that run around with guns and set people on fire to start the apocalypse. Oh yeah, there's also a sexy FBI agent who happens to be a pyschic and is trying to get Rob to believe everything before it's too late. Too bad they couldn't predict a better plot. Yawn.
Hmmm, started well, like a hybrid of X-Files & First Wave, unfortunately, if the mere notion of Da Vinci's lost time machine is preposterous to you, then the final 'battle' between one man with a pistol and 4 16th century monks armed to the teeth with automatic weapons will seem positively ridiculous equalled only by poor acting, poor script and screenplay, or, in other words, giggle factor 5 captain.
Rob Estes, playing homicide detective Michael Nostrand, teams up with an FBI psychic to stop a medieval cult from bringing about Armageddon.The plot sounds a little weak, right??? At least that's what many of you are probably thinking. But I didn't consider myself a fan of Sci-Fi movies until I saw "Nostradamus". I wasn't even sure if I wanted to watch, and now I'm glad I did.This movie is dramatic...full of adventure, mystery, and even a bit of humor and romance. Estes and Fisher really bring this movie to life.I think anyone who is willing to keep an open mind would enjoy this movie. I certainly recommend it.
