Watched two movies today, The Colony and Spawn. I prefer Spawn better, The Colony wasn't that good. Spawn had a good story line but the acting was a bit bad and the graphics were.............. childlike. 

The Colony is  2013 Canadian science fiction horror movie, it has  Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Zegers, and it also had Charlotte Sullivan and Bill Paxton. Now I have nothing against the Canadian filmmakers but this horror film was just plan out dumb. The main character played by Kevin Zegers turns into a killer when he seems like this peaceful man, it was a little strange.  In this movie, the characters would never shoot the main bad guy, they always had to blow something up. Yes a movie always need a good scene where something blows up but when each time the a person could of shot the main bad guy but doesn't then it getting a little over the top. By the way the plot for this movie was, the earth was getting warmer and warmer so humans created a machine to change the weather but it cause it to snow and snow without ever stopping. The colonies were made from the people who were lucky enough to get underground. Colony 5 and colony 7 has a pact to watch out for each other. In the movie they never say how many colonies there is. So when Colony 7 sends out a sos call. Laurence Fishburne (The leader of  colony 5) decides to go and see what happen. He takes two men with him one of them is the main Character Kevin Zegers and a kid (The first death of the movie). They travel to colony 7 where you learn about Zegers's Character. He had lost his whole family to the cold and was saved but Fishburne's character Once they get to Colony 7 they founded out it has been over run by  Cannibal. Of course Fishburne and Zegers get out of there but the kid dies. Then of course again the cannibals follows Fishburne and Zegers. I would tell you the ending but I wont ruin it, but ps. The ending isn't bad like most horror movies. 
Next movie is Spawn, now I would have to say yes this story line was great. I like the back story on Spawn like how Al becomes Spawn. All great but for the acting, it seem lacking like the actors may not have tried their best or something like that. The other problem was the graphics which were childlike but on the other hand the movie was made in 1997 which didn't have the best of graphics like today but the graphics were still good. This movie probably didn't have a huge budget since it is a superhero movie and Spawn wasn't a very famous superhero. Batman and Superman always got the spotlight . If they redid this movie they probably could very make it wonderful. If you don't know the plot of Spawn it is about a man who is an assassin, one of the best and his boss kills him because the devil henchman made a deal with him. So Al (The assassin/Spawn) dies by burning to death, then 5 years later Al comes back to life still scar by the fire. The Devil Henchman tried to get him to kill his old boss and that would turn Al into a monster but an Agent of God is trying to make him good. Spawn is about the war between God and The devil or good and evil. Spawn is wanted on both side, he has to find out whether he want to be good or bad.
