SHOCKWAVE: COUNTDOWN TO DISASTER is another extremely low budget disaster flick that looks and feels like an independent production. It features a mish-mashed storyline tying together three popular scenarios from this genre, from a ruthless organisation intent on profiting at the expense of mankind, to an estranged family caught up in natural disasters, to some terrorists who've stolen a top secret weapon with the ability to manufacture destruction. None of it gels and it looks and feels quite awful, with cheesy scripting and acting from an unfamiliar cast ill-at-ease with the material. The disaster scenes themselves are limited to a handful of lacklustre CGI shots, and it's all been done better elsewhere.
