The greatest danger facing our world has been the planet's best kept secret... until now.

Charlie Sheen channels his inner Kevin Smith in this unique take on the genre. Sure it's a little X-Files-y, and a lot of the twists are either glaringly obvious or make zero sense, but by and large it's pretty original. The climate-change message does beat you over the head a little, but only gently, which I can handle. Obviously it didn't take anyway, considering we're here twenty years later and the problem's only gotten worse.
_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
You've reached the end.
