Hordes of Large, armor-plated scorpion-like insects are unleashed from an underground cavern in yet another nature-gone-berzerk project from the basement of the Sci-Fi channel. The usual motley crew of hapless humans is sent in to deal with them. Despite their impressive firepower, the boys in blue(or black in this case) don't fare well at all. Lots of stereotypical characters are picked off in various grisly ways before this film flips over and dies with all legs kicking. The survivors are predictable.
Actually I liked the scene where the police mount the M60 on the tripod rather than the normal movie technique of firing it one handed Charlie Sheen style.
Plot holes abound. Why would the police send in a team miles underground immediately after the first train disaster without knowing what they are dealing with? Why not send in one of those EOD robots, or rig up some kind of railcar with reinforced armor(or electrified exterior)? Why didn't the work crew that constructed the tunnel in the first place get attacked? What were all these bugs eating underground for millions of years? Why don't the police use chemicals?
What kind of low rent writers are the sci-fi channel employing these days? Who knows.
The character who loses his mind near the end is utterly ridiculous. His performance is too silly for words. The rest of the acting is barely passable, and the effects are decent. Other than that the movie is a failure in terms of story, dialogue, characterization and imagination. There's nothing particularly exciting about this movie - or about almost anything the sci-fi channel has managed to cook up lately. What they ought to do is make 15 minute shorts with nothing but the action scenes. That's apparently all they're good at.
