Rating:  - On The Beach
I have always liked Armand Assante, and he doesn't disappoint in this movie. It's a very compelling story about the horrors of someone in some country deciding to push the nuke button. Rachael Ward does a good job portraying a maturing hedonist, who as the story unfolds indulges herself in a somewhat complicated love triangle. All in all, the movie is definitely worth watching.
Rating:  - OMG This is AWFUL
I loved the original movie (with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner) when I saw it a few months ago, and then read the book. Both were great.
This movie remake, however, is absolutely terrible. Armand Assante simply cannot act. Rachel Ward was all too predictible as Moira, and the dialogue that was invented for this version was excrutiating.
Stick with the originals - this one will make you cringe.
Rating: - Made for TV tripe
This made-for-TV updated version of "On The Beach" did not add any corrections to the science part. Was to chicken to say that the war started by a third country with an other country's markings on the plane. (The purpose for our missile defense system.)

He can not follow orders and thinks love is greater than his duty to his country or crew. Moira Davidson ... Read More
Rating: - A devastating, though not paralyzing elegy
Originally my intent was to catch the first few minutes of this movie, and then dismiss it and get on with my weekend. After all, how many doomsday movies can you name that didn't leave a bitter taste in your mouth at the sheer lameness of Hollywood's tear-jerking and corner-cutting? How many doomsday movies out of Hollywood manage to make you think? Thankfully, this production had the Australians on board.
The imagined cataclysm, rewritten for the new millennium, was instantly plausible, ... Read More
Rating: - Well-done tale of the End of the World.
I read Nevil Shute's book several years ago and thought it amazing. Recently, when culling some books from my bookshelves, I re-read it once again one afternoon. When I read the book the first time, I didn't even know of this classic film. However, I had learned of it since I reading the book the last time, so I ordered this film and, of course, the classic with Gregory Peck and Ava Gardner.
The cast here was wonderful. The only exception to this was Armand Assante's performance here. I used ... Read More
