The Colony: A Review

So, a long time ago, I decided that I wanted to have every movie that Michael Weatherly's been in. I know, pretty stalkerish, right? I mean, not really, because I don't think he's really been in that that many movies, but regardless, I had to have them. Starting with Her Minor Thing.

I cannot even tell you how disappointed I was in that movie. Sure, he was cute and funny, but over all, it sucked and I couldn't believe I spent so much money on such a piece of crap.

Moving on...

Because Cabin by the Lake is so freakin' expensive on Amazon.com ($50! Which really, isn't that bad, but I haven't been able to justify spending it on a movie just yet, so for all intents and purposes, it's so freakin' expensive. Still with me?), I decided to go with the next best thing: The Colony.

I know what you're thinking... I should have known that this movie wasn't going to be amazing, right? I mean, c'mon. It was a made for TV movie, but regardless, I had to have it. It couldn't possibly be any worse than Her Minor Thing, right? Right?

Wrong.

First of all, there's a freakin' random woman dancing around naked at three different parts during the movie. I mean really, what the hell was the point? Oh that's right, there was none. I do have to admit that I was super excited when I saw that Uncle Phil was in the movie, and really, he's the only reason I didn't turn it off immediately. Freakin' Michael Weatherly didn't even show up until 30 minutes in!

There were some parts that weren't too awful bad, and to be honest, I was cracking up at Bravo on more than one occasion, but really, it was just a bad movie. The special effects were horrible, the acting wasn't amazing and it just fell so short of what I was actually expecting. And did I mention the naked woman? Oh, I did?

The lesson learned? Next time, I'll drop the $50 on the movie that I really want... and have already seen. At least I'll know what the heck I'm getting!
