Overrated and overhyped

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Found out beforehand that Day of Reckoning featured an appearance by the beautiful Barbara Crampton and oh my with this movie released in 2016 she still looks beautiful as ever.
The premise of Day of Reckoning has evil creatures invading Earth and then they made their return fifteen years later.
Day of Reckoning is passable enough fluff for me and the creatures do look impressively menacing.
However I did my interest in this movie the moment the beautiful Barbara Crampton made her last scene as she is the reason I was most looked forward to see Day of Reckoning.
It was sure a Day of Reckoning of seeing the beautiful Barbara Crampton in this movie not so much for the movie itself.
It is always a reckoning to see the beautiful Barbara Crampton.

Yes, honest, I actually enjoyed it, so gave it a 6.OK, it was pretty bad but the idea was pretty original. The actors were passable - even the guy who played Grandpa (who apparently can only talk in a slow deliberate, boring voice) he wasn't too bad in this silly film.Sure, there were lots of plot holes, like where the heck did they actually manage to climb out of where they live to come to the surface? I mean, most bore holes are pretty narrow...Yes, the CGI was pretty lame, but as long as you don't LOOK for the problems and use your imagination, it wasn't too bad.I still can't get over the fact that I'm writing something positive about an Epic Pictures Group film. I must go see my doctor.

Not quite as bad as those from the 1950/60's, but surprisingly poor CGI for 2016: The monsters are visually obvious additions. At one point, a dog-like creature attacks a man who - instead of trying to use his hands, throws them up! The acting was OK, as was the dialogue. The plot had reasonable promise but only for about a half-hour. The interactions between good and bad guys was believable for the most part. I don't think any interaction between the monsters and anything else - buildings, humans or other monsters - was believable. Shocking when almost all films rely heavily on such nowadays. Perhaps Sc-Fi channel has too rigid production schedules, or lousy quality control?

I've given up on the SyFy Channel. This is typical of all their productions. Terrifying and spectacular scenes involving CGI monsters/aliens/whatever separated by deserts of arid narrative with little or no purpose other than taking the characters to the next scene involving CGI. It's just crap. Some visual engagement but zero intellectual value otherwise. The suits at SyFy either are idiots or venal purveyors of weird trash -- or both. Don't waste your time. There's so little artistic value, other than the yeoman efforts of the put-upon casts, that I honestly believe SyFy is soliciting scripts from middle-schoolers. With a title like "Day of Reckoning" and the very rare religious references made in dialog, one might suspect that some attempt at rationalizing the cause of a disaster threatening the existence of the human race might be made. One would be mistaken in that assumption. There's nothing here. Watching while drunk might improve the experience.
